Back after a whirlwind trip to Toronto for work and visiting family and friends and Rutherford is giving me the warmest of welcomes home. #homesweethome #homeiswherethekittiesare #adoptdontshop
We would like to announce the introduction of a new member to our fur family. Meet Rutherford or “Ruthie” named because he is Tendi’s bestie in Star Trek: Lower Decks. We found that Tendi really needed a kitten friend to help burn off her young energy and to take the pressure off our adult cats. It was the easiest cat integration we have ever experienced. He and Tendi were instant buddies and Jimmy and Ezri and pretty much accepted him by day 3. We are delighted to formalize his adoption this week. #orangecat #rescuecat #adoptdontshop
Wild leek pesto made from wild leeks I foraged from the patch growing on our property. Doesn’t get more local than that! #foragedfood #wildleeks #eatlocal
The next installment of “Shattered Lanterns” is hot off the press, and another one of my short stories is published in it. Big thank you to @wathermair of Artemisia Press for supporting my writing! Pick up your copy at ArtemisiaPress.ca #supportlocalartists #smallpress #horrorfiction
Delicious easy high protein dessert: Microwave egg pudding!
Ingredients:
-1 large egg
-2 tablespoons vanilla whey protein powder
-1/4 cup your choice of milk
-Pinch of salt
Instructions:
Whisk all ingredients together in a microwave-safe mug or bowl until smooth. Microwave on high for 30 seconds. Stir the mixture gently.
Microwave for another 20–30 seconds until it thickens but is still soft. Allow to sit for 1 minute to thicken. Drizzle with maple syrup and/or sprinkle with cinnamon.
(*I used an egg from @fluffybutt.farm and “Tree Blood” syrup from @castlegarthfarms for a truly local experience!) #proteindessert #eggpudding #golocal
My first foray into cheesemaking…. Cottage cheese! 4L of milk yields this much cottage cheese and whey. Yes, the stuff in the jars is pure whey protein, the stuff I spend so much money on for smoothies. I had no idea this is how it was made. In this form, you can use them for protein shakes or you can put them into pancakes or any baking goods. You can use it as yogurt starter or add it to soups. And I got all this from 4L of milk. Amazing! #cottagecheese #cheesemaking #whey
