 When we were living in France, we used to have some "countryside type" of lunches, or late breakfasts. Since moving to Canada, I have left that tradition behind and never made any of those "menus" anymore. Was it because I was too busy combining adaptation to a new country, learning a new language, a full time job and 2 young children? Perhaps ..... I'm not sure. All I know is that this morning I woke up with the desire to make one of those traditional lunches we used to eat in France. I grabbed 3 potatoes, 1 sweet potato and 1 onion in the pantry, 1/2 cup of gluten-free flour, 1 teaspoon of gluten-free baking powder, 3 eggs, salt, pepper a few tablespoons of almond milk. I shredded the potatoes and chopped the onion. I combined all the dry ingredients in a bowl, added on the eggs: stirred until combined and I added the potatoes/onion mix. I mixed well. Hot pan, I put some butter to melt and dropped 1 large spoon of the mixture. Flattened it and let it cook unt...

 Pasta and white fish, doesn't that sound delicious ?? Gluten-Free pasta and white fish sound even better !!  Today, we are going to make this quick and easy dish, that will please everybody in your family. Make your pasta ( I will make a blog for that, next time I make some). You will need, for the sauce :  - lemon or lime juice ( fresh is better, but I was out of lemons so I used lime juice in a bottle) - some white wine ( I use semi-sweet, it's my personal preference, but you can use dry wine if you like) - some pepper flakes to taste ( a little quick is always welcome, you don't need to make it extra spicy) - 2 diced tomatoes  - large garlic cloves, minced - 1 large shallot, finely chopped. - 1 can of coconut milk ( or sour cream if you are not milk intolerant) The fish: we love fishing in the summertime, therefore we have salmon and white fish in the freezer for the whole year.

 Feeding a teenager and his friends requires a lot of imagination.  When my son's team comes over for practice it usually includes lunch or dinner.  Last week, days before the competition the programmer Liam came over for the day and had lunch with us. I ran to the fridge and did a "whatever is in the fridge" healthy lunch they both enjoyed. 1 / I peeled the carrots and with a mandoline, I sliced them diagonally and steamed them for about 15 minutes ( steaming allows to keep all the vitamins in the vegetables ).  2/ Meanwhile, I cut some onions, mushrooms and cooked them in a little bit of olive oil until the onions became translucid. 3/ I deglazed the pan with some chicken broth to keep all the flavours in the pan. 4 / I added some kalette (  What is a kalette ??  ) and sauteed it with the mix of mushrooms and onions in the reduced chicken broth. 5 / When the carrots were steamed ( not too soft, not too hard .....) I added them to the pan, shaking it to ma...
