Day 3 of the in support of is done! For this recap I'll be featuring a couple of snacks and dinner. So when I got home from work I was pretty hungry and knew dinner would take a little while. I still had some "Seriously Seedy" bread left from so I cut a couple slices and made one sweet and one savoury.

The sweet slice was topped off with my favourite jam ever ever ever, strawberry with black pepper by . So much happiness in that one jar. The savoury slice was spread with Pâté Pastiche, a locally made seed and grain pâté.

The pâté comes in four flavours: Market Herb, Forest Mushroom, Sunshine Tomato, Golden Squash & Sage. My favourite out of the bunch is the squash one (I guess I really love ). Spreading this over a warm piece of bread is heaven. Perfect pre-dinner snack!

For dinner I decided to make myself some grilled cheese and just a big ol' salad. In this grilled cheese I included some caramelized onions, fig jam from , and a limited edition Otlu Peynir featuring seasonal garlic scape from . Be still my cheese loving heart...

I wouldn't recommend this cheese so much for grilled cheese as I found out it doesn't melt that well. I'll stick with my Qualicum Spice flavour next time. As for my side salad, I really need to use up all these veggies in my fridge so I roasted some cauliflower, cut up some radish, cucumber, carrot, and greens from , and scarfed it down. Feeling pretty good about my veggie intake for this challenge...

Stay tuned for Day 4 tomorrow!
