RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I live in the Slocan Valley in the West Kootenays of British Columbia. It's a beautiful place- Mountains, mixed forest, a large, pristine lake just a block from our home and somewhat isolated. The drawback is that jobs are hard to come by so self-sustainability is a must. We rely heavily on our garden and fruit trees, canning or freezing whatever we can. My pet peeve is my 5 year old sons' eating habits. He's great in the summer, grazes through the garden helping himself to tomatoes, peas, beans, brocolli, berries, etc. I have problems with him in the winter, he only wants fresh produce, not the frozen stuff from our garden. He doesnt want food touching each other, no stir frys, casseroles, soups. He could eat macaroni and cheese or plain cheese quesadillas until the cows come home, but other than that his meat has to be here (no sauce), salad or fresh veggies there, and potatoes or rice over there (no touching!) I sure hope it's only a phase!
