Good Eats Friday: the “I can’t believe it’s already Friday” edition

Posted by andrea tomkins in: Recipes and Food

I’ve been busy this week, busy alternating between (a) burying myself in writing work and (b) recovering from a cold. Seriously, it’s been a bit of a roller coaster, and it’s been going something like this:

“YAY, I’m WRIIIIITIIINGGGGG and I LOOOOOVE IIIIIIT!”

And then ten minutes later it’s: “Oh boy, I think I’m running a fever.” And then I’d lie down, and then get back up again to check my email. Rinse, and repeat.

I’ve been doing everything I can to get better quickly because I just can’t afford to be sick any longer. I need to BANISH THE SICK. Gah. I see more chicken noodle soup in my future.

This week’s Good Eats recipes look pretty darn delicious if I do say so myself. Once I get my appetite back I might actually consider making these:

First, this recipe looks amazing. The onions give it a bit of an edge on traditional Mac and Cheese, don’t you think? Yum.

And then there THIS recipe for meatballs. My kids are crazy about meatballs but I rarely make them myself. I need to try this one for sure.

This beef stew recipe came along just at the right moment. There is no better time to eat stew than RIGHT NOW, during a snowstorm. Also: I could eat Yorkshire Puddings all day. Sigh. Pass the horseradish!

The Obligatory Blurb

My name is Andrea and I live in the Westboro area of Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Piper who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. We also have two human offspring: Emma (24) and Sarah (22). During the day I work as a writer at the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre. I am a longtime Ottawa blogger and I've occupied this little corner of the WWW since 1999. The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.
