Nati’s Kitchen | Glee'na Banana
https://gleenabanana.wordpress.com/about
Food, who eats it? I live in Invermere BC with my 3 year old daughter and my 9 year dog, Gleena. My relationship with food is ongoing, as it is with everyone. I have noticed throughout my years of writing this blog, that food has served so many purposes in my life from fuel to baby growing to toddler feeding. It is amazing to me how my relationship with food has changed, sometimes evolving and sometimes revisiting old habits. So what is our ongoing relationship with food anyway? Into my mouth, onto a blog.

The Chuck Steak | Glee'na Banana
https://gleenabanana.wordpress.com/2011/03/18/the-chuck-steak
Food, who eats it? March 18, 2011 in Uncategorized. Another meat item from our meat order: the chuck steak. I have to say, when I first opened this puppy I was slightly revolted. It was huge, like Flintstone huge and embedded with many bones, that seemed to be in all the wrong places. Do tell, where in the hell in the cow was this number cut from? It was heavy, big and I had my doubts. So I hit the internet. I let it go for 5 days. Flipping it religiously twice day and found ways to avoid cooking it alto...

Hearty soup that doesn’t make me feel ill | Glee'na Banana
https://gleenabanana.wordpress.com/2011/01/01/hearty-soup-that-doesnt-make-me-feel-ill
Food, who eats it? Hearty soup that doesn’t make me feel ill. January 1, 2011 in Uncategorized. Well, well things have certainly changed since I became pregnant 9 weeks ago. One of the most obvious changes is my desire for food. I haven’t really bothered to blog as of late, because who wants to read about dry toast, cereal (with soy milk, ugh not *real* milk) and/or corn nuts? With that normality, I’m able again to cook and eat foods that I actually like. Like this soup, in our new soup pot! Basically th...

Food, who eats it? September 1, 2014 in Uncategorized. Cowgirl (or cowboy) Cookies and Caramel Corn. All ready to go… BAM! Recently my daughter was invited to a couple of birthday parties and without sounding anti-crap-gifting and while acknowledging that I am BRAND NEW at this whole. I decided to set a few intentions for her gifting. And these were:. Get my kidlet involved in the process. Gift something that is unique. Keep the costs reasonable. Create the gift with my daughter. FYI, this is an actual t...

Caldo Verde, I think… | Glee'na Banana
https://gleenabanana.wordpress.com/2010/10/03/caldo-verde-i-think
Food, who eats it? Caldo Verde, I think. October 3, 2010 in shared recipes. Today marked a pretty significant day here in Nanaimo… I finally found purchasable kale at the Farmer’s Market! I still don’t understand why there hasn’t been any all summer or early fall, but I guess that’s not for me to know. Sure miss all the varieties in Victoria though. Sure miss Moss St. Market. Sigh. For those of you who don’t know this, Caldo Verde is the Official Soup of Portugal! Just as a side. Or maybe that was nervou...

Food, who eats it? September 26, 2010 in breakfast. I love making Sunday breakfast. It used to be, every Sunday I would roast potatoes, fry bacon, toast bread and. Cook eggs. (Usually I made a quick chipole and kale bean dish, in place of eggs.) It was a Tradition I was excited to wake up to and it always kicked off the day on the right foot. The tofu dish, but rather just warmed it up. To the tofu dish, I added raw shredded purple carrot and then topped it off with scissor-chopped broad bean. Ta...Can&#...

Roast Beef | Glee'na Banana
https://gleenabanana.wordpress.com/2011/03/18/roast-beef
Food, who eats it? March 18, 2011 in Uncategorized. I have officially grown up, now that I have made my first pot roast. (Another item from our meat order.) This recipe is from my mother and it’s a cinch to make. It’s so easy, you don’t even have to thaw the roast… imagine that. This roast needs to be started around 2 pm if you want to eat around 6 pm. And If you’re at home anyway, why not throw this together? Get email notifications about food, not spam. Join 180 other followers. Can’t find it? Blog at ...

Burger Night! | Glee'na Banana
https://gleenabanana.wordpress.com/2011/03/09/burger-night
Food, who eats it? March 9, 2011 in Uncategorized. Last night was burger night at our house! Needless to say,. I had a craving. Especially after eating a bunch of fast food versions as of late. We’ve been traveling a lot over the last couple of weeks and burger joints seem to be everywhere. Nothing compares to great sushi though… or korean. Which too, I have eaten plenty of. So back to my craving. All I really really. Get it off my mind! Couple tbsp of chopped rosemary. The trick is to cut your potatoes ...
