Food Revolution Day!

DID YOU KNOW THAT...

Food Revolution Day is this Saturday! I know what I am doing. What are you doing? I was surprised when I saw that there is no organised event in my area! Canada... Canadians should be participating! Jamie Oliver hasn't brought his Food Revolution on Canadian soil... he has to our neighbours to the south, that shouldn't stop us from planning an event, hosting a dinner, making schools aware, kids aware, adults aware, shop local and have a garden for fresh fruit and veg. What better way great way to start the holiday weekend off then getting involved. So Saturday I am doing a dinner party for Food Revolution Day. I will be serving chicken fajitas, homemade guacamole, homemade salsa, a salad of mixed greens with veg and homemade dressing. Before Saturday hits I have been cooking a few things up in the kitchen... like I always do. The two meals pictured below are a few of the ones I do make on a weekly basis.   

Sweet and sour chicken stir-fry with mixed veggies served over basmati rice. This is a real easy dinner to make. Low in sodium and fat. Fresh and crisp, the kidlets almost licked their plates clean!   

Next is the butter chicken with mixed veggies and tofu, for extra protein. Topped with sour cream and chives and served with spaetzle... German pasta. Worlds are colliding and another dish where the plates were just about licked clean. The kidlets found it fun to add sour cream and chives and we got into a discussion on other things to add to future dishes. It's great sitting at the dinner table chatting about what goes into each dish and what they would add or not add. Why we include certain ingredients and about recipes. 

Yes that is me! I signed the petition, yesterday at 8:31 London time. It's not to late to sign up, sign the petition or get involved. Go to his website *here*  and join Food Revolution Day! I will post pictures of dinner on Saturday night. I do own a copy of Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution Cookbook. I will be reviewing that book next week. Have a great long weekend and a great Food Revolution Day! -JW
