Menu time! Yup. In honour of this moment I’ve made up a song … sing along if you like. “Menu Time! It’s Karen’s menu time! It’s time for the menu! It’s Karen’s menu time!” It’s waaaaayyyy catchier if you know the actual tune. Then it’s positively Grammy winning. On a totally unrelated note I’m [...]
My time this week has been taken up by chickens, a migraine, a vomiting cat, dying plants, a highly secret experiment, and my newfound love of relaxing (I’m surprisingly maintaining my New Year’s resolution to relax). So I don’t have the two or three sentences of “banter” I normally have before my Menu of the [...]
You may notice I’m having Orange Chicken again this week. It’s not because I’m particularly obsessed with Orange Chicken (although I am) it’s because we didn’t end up having it the other week for some reason. I can’t remember why. I may have instituted a work stoppage due to being angry over the amount of [...]
As I mentioned there will be no funny. No stories, no chit chat. Just an inspirational menu. And an original knock, knock joke written by me. Karen. Knock Knock. Who’s there? Jimmy. Jimmy Who? I’m sorry to have to correct you but it’s actually pronounced Choo. © Karen Recipes Potato Pancakes Tie Dye roasted [...]
Yup. It’s a post. And yup. It’s a Saturday. It’s the return of the my Weekly Menu. You may have noticed, if you look to the right side bar … there is now a box for my weekly menu. If you’re ever in need of meal inspiration … give it a click. For those of [...]
Please note. The moment has arrived. The great corn revolt! Yup. July 11th, and I’m officially off corn for the summer. It was quick this year! Halfway through my last cob, I put it down, picked my teeth and proclaimed I’m out! The thought of eating another cob of corn at this point makes my [...]
This is going to be a VERY busy week for me. All kinds of STUFF going on and because of that I’m throwing caution to the wind and not making a weekly menu. (you can’t see, but I just crossed myself Catholic-style) I’m going to … gulp … wing it. Which is the exact opposite [...]
You’ll have to excuse me if I seem a teensy bit distracted during this menu dissertation. You see I’m watching Miley Cyrus on the Much Music Video Awards and she isn’t wearing anything. Which is fine, she looks good. I’m perplexed because she seems awfully calm to be wearing only her underwear. The only [...]
I’m not sick of corn-on-the-cob yet! This happens every single year. I go nuts buying corn as soon as it’s available and I eat it with almost every meal. I boil it, BBQ it, steam it. I slather it in butter, douse it with salt and crunch my way around each and every cob like [...]
O.K. Everyone calm down. There IS a new menu board but it’s temporary until I can find the time to paint an entire wall in my kitchen with chalkboard paint. This new one is a quick-erase board that my sister, the painter, and I installed in an emergency. Yes. I had a menu board emergency. [...]
Don’t you hate it when you just ate dinner and then you have to start thinking about the next dinner? Such are the challenges that come with planning out the whole menu every week. Not that I mind the planning, I just mind the planning when I’m so full I can actually feel the food [...]
I’m writing out this menu while sitting on the couch wearing mismatched p’jamas, watching The Celebrity Apprentice. I would like to take this opportunity to tell you my level of craziness has increased exponentially. How can I be certain? I’m watching The Celebrity Apprentice. For Brett Michaels. I’ve tried to deny it, tried to [...]
