Week Two Recipes - Shirley

The second week of recipes are available on Cuisine in Motion, we are reminding you here on the blog but will be getting back to normal blog activity next week. It is surprising how much time it takes to work out the recipes and the shopping list each week. We would really appreciate feedback on how informative the information is.

We have all had a busy week with work and catering and looking forward to this long weekend with family and friends. Try out our pot roast recipe on Sunday we know you and your family will enjoy.

Salute!

A Working Week Menu - Shirley

This weekend we have tried something new. We have put onto our Cuisine in Motion website a week's menus along with the shopping list of ingredients for you to try. We hope this will help all you busy people, and of course anyone else who would like to try out these recipes, get through the working week without stopping at the first fast food outlet on the way home instead of cooking yourself.

We welcome your feedback on this as we want to see if it really helps. We have also been told that commenting on our blog is challenging as it asks for a Google Log in, but if you don't have a Google account what do you do? You can still comment. After entering your comment into the comment box, you click the spot next to Name/URL, the box opens and you input your name, if the word verification has not shown up it is only because your settings have blocked it once you click to send the comment it will show the word verification and you can fill it out.

Your comment will then be sent to us to publish. Please comment and tell us what you think of our blog and of the recipes on the Cuisine 'n' Green page on our Cuisine in Motion website.

Have a great week!

Keeping Up! - Shirley

First our apologies for not keeping up our weekly blog, we have had so much going on over the last couple of weeks we have fallen behind. So forgive us but I want to bring you up to speed.

Michaela is now working with Jamie Kennedy for her externship and we are all delighted, she could not be in better hands or getting any more experience of farm to table in Ontario. Roger has been incredibly busy with catering both corporate and parties so we have all been lending a hand.
We had a focus group about our TV show pilot and had some great feedback. We are really looking forward to shooting the initial programs late February and want to thank Jen in her beautiful location at the Brick Church in Manilla for taking care of us.

Out of our focus group came some great ideas and one of them we want to action immediately. We may have many years of experience when it comes to good choices in stores and planning our meals ahead, but we should understand that when you first take the plunge into “home cooking” with good ingredients the task can be daunting. So we have been challenged with putting up on our website Cuisine in Motion a weekly menu to help you plan and along with that a weekly grocery list to ensure you don’t miss anything. We have also been warned that you do not want complicated recipes or obscure ingredients, make it simple and using common ingredients or things that are easy to find.

From this Sunday February 6 we will have a 5 day menu and the grocery list that comes with it. Please give us feedback on the menu and the recipes and how you find it works for you. Initially we only be able to recommend meat from local farms as there is only root vegetables and fruits that can be stored over the winter available from local sources but soon we will be in the full flourish of spring and the abundance we can always expect from our beautiful province and ultimately country.

I hope you are all enjoying our wonderful snowy winter and that you try some of our warm and comfy recipes over the next couple of weeks.
