Due to the global pandemic, the majority of Christmas events where I live were all, rightfully, cancelled. However, as PNE Winter Lights is an event you drive through, they were allowed to continue with a restriction on how many cars could go through at once. I went with my Mother and my young niece and it was a spot of fun in an otherwise, dreary month of December.

Roughly a month ago I was talked into starting Hello Fresh (a meal prep service) due to my inability to make anything out outside of my usual 2-3 dishes. Thus far I’ve found the weekly selections to always have something that my picky eating habits would enjoy. Regardless, this is not an ad for Hello Fresh but an excuse for me to share photos of some of the dishes I’ve made.

Easy Cottage Pie with Cheesy Mashed Potatoes

Pork and Parmesan Patties with sweet potato mash and green beans

Roasted Salmon with Crispy Potatoes, Burst Tomatoes and Green Bea

Hoisin-Glazed Pork Meatballs with Stir-fried Snap Peas and Bok Choy on Coconut Rice

Steak Spiced Burgers with Disco Fries

As Summer winds down it may not be as easy to get to these, but from what I’ve found there are many more public art installations where I live to locate. In the mean time, here is another batch of recent and not so recent finds.
