We have friends coming over to play with us and this is what I prepared.

Grilled cheese sandwich with bacon

Rosemary grilled chicken with green salad

Shane had fun with 3 boys and Chloe was busying being an excellent host playing and taking care of two little girls.  

Going out to a fun house party with my friend tonight.

This party was amazing! They had Persian dance performances and a DJ and dance floor… I’m sitting at one of their bars in the “basement”. Thanks Susan for inviting us! It’s been a while since I went out partying until midnight. What.

Talk about a wine cellar.

Moroccan-Spiced Chicken Thighs With Carrots and Lemony Quinoa

Pork buns, Korean style.

It’s always a good time with these two visiting us. <3

We woke up with giant snowballs coming down from the sky. I’ve never seen such big chucks of snow falling before. Yay, snow day!

I made broccoli cheddar quiche for breakfast and Chloe and I made apple crisp for mid morning snack. Thank you God for the day off. 🙂

I made spicy tuna rolls for dinner and we ate it in front of TV, watching a movie. Not something I normally let them do, but it’s just me and the kids and it’s Sunday, so I thought why not… 

For dessert, Ms. Chloe baked red velvet cookies.

When it was done, she parked herself with her book and she was in her own world.

Shane also joined in. So proud of him for reading a lot these days too. He’s gotten into reading Rick Riordan’s The Heroes of Olympus Series and really enjoying it.

A perfect afternoon.

I love Poke and it’s so easy to make it at home.

I used wild yellowfin tuna steak and yellowtail and marinated it with soy sauce, sesame oil and honey. Throw in some seaweed salad, scallions and cucumbers over rice and that’s pretty much it.  

We stopped by the village once last time to ice skate and have early dinner before heading back to Vancouver.

Fried pickle.

We’ll miss you ~~

After a few morning runs, we got on the Peak 2 Peak gondola ride to Blackcomb mountain to have lunch at Christine’s.

Fabulous view, creative and deliciously prepared food & excellent service on top of the mountain! I could have stayed here for all day.

My first Bloody Caesar.
