NEW Website & a New Live Series for Living Simply Kitchen!
Hi Reader,
I want to share some exciting news with you! Living Simply Kitchen has a new home online at www.livingsimplykitchen.com. I am delighted to have a designated space to share my recipes, prairie-focused food writing & adventures, and post events & courses. The website remains a work in progress, but there are some great resources already available. Check out my favourite page: Simple Stuff: The Easiest, Most Doable Real Food for Any Day which showcases 5 nourishing, everyday recipes.
Take a look around while you're there, including this run down of custom services I provide as a Culinary Nutrition Guide: Begin Your Journey.
NEW LIVE SERIES ON INSTAGRAM: How I use local food bulk buying, CSAs and subscriptions to save time & money
I'm doing a 7 part series of short videos on bulk buying, CSA opportunities and subscriptions for Manitoban food produces that I participate in year around. I am often asked about sourcing local food, so I'm breaking down these ways that I simplify much of my buying & planning through subscriptions and bulk buying. These small commitments every year create big gains in our pantry and take the stress out of a lot of meal & grocery planning.
Yesterday I recorded Part 1: Adagio Acres Winter Grain CSA. I talk about what it is, how it works and answer some questions that you may be asking yourself. If you think you're 'not ready', I also bust some myths, talk about how to make it work for you and talk about how this bulk buying opportunity saves you money while providing a ton of organic, whole grains, seeds, legumes and oils for the whole year. Check out the Part 1 video here or go directly to view it on Instagram @livingsimplykitchen.
Lunch break! This series runs live on Instagram on Tuesdays at 12pm (recording is posted to IG following the live chat). Each week, I'll be talking briefly about one subscription of local products that I feel are game changers in how we do food. These are simple things with major impacts for you AND your community. The topic for next week? The how & why of local, pasture-raised chickens!
Thank you for joining me on this ride and in your kitchens. I am so grateful for the support from you as LSK continues to evolve.
Warmly,
Elizabeth

From Our Kitchen Embracing the Season & Eating Outside When we're travelling, camping, or spending the day at the lake, recipes aren't usually what we need. We need ideas that are flexible enough to work with whatever we've packed, picked up at the grocery store, or have left in the cooler. Easy meals that can be enjoyed on a bench along the path with few utensils, carried in a tote or backpack and ready to go with the flow. Summer in Manitoba is short. So let’s eat outside. Enter the Picnic...
From Our Kitchen I think we've all been there. I certainly have multiple times this summer! You've had a full day exploring, swimming, hiking, or driving, and by the time you're thinking about supper, the last thing you want to do is start cooking from scratch. The good news is, convenience doesn't have to mean settling for less. My approach to meals at moments like this is to seek out what will fill me up and truly keep me satisfied. When I have a day on the go, a poor meal may sink me but I...
From Our Kitchen One of my favourite travel food tips has nothing to do with packing a cooler. It has to do with where you stop. If you're on the road and didn't pack enough food, it's easy to assume your only options are a drive-through or a gas station. But grocery stores have changed so much over the years, especially their deli sections. Today, you'll often find fresh sandwiches, wraps, salads, rotisserie chicken, cut vegetables, fruit, hummus, yogurt, cheese, hard-boiled eggs, and other...
