I have lived in many cities in British Columbia while my husband expanded his career, one of the cities we moved (this was our 6th move since 1979) to was Fort St John, British Columbia in 1999. A beautiful spot in Northern British Columbia - the Peace Country. As we drove from MacKenzie to 'see' the area we saw huge mountains through the Pine Pass as well as many creeks and rivers along the way, a drive of approximately 5 hours. As we got drove closer to Fort St John the landscape starts to change near Chetwynd, the mountains start to disappear and it becomes flatter and flatter until you see the fields of rye, wheat and the beautiful yellow canola.
What an amazing sight - like sunlight smiling all around you as you drive.
Arriving in Fort St John....two kids in tow...our eldest left it to us to find our new home. We encountered hot sun and falling snow within the 4 hours we were there. At this point I was 'not too sure' I wanted this to be our new home but it was the best step for my husband and our family.
While living in Fort St John I worked at the local college - Northern Lights College (yes we enjoyed many evenings watching the Northern Lights) something I wish all of you could experience.
I worked with many wonderful people and students - such wonderful memories. One of which is when Carlos asked of me 'Pam, you being a vegetarian - what do you eat?' I told him there are so many choices that my family is always fed. I cook dishes from many different countries. The next day he came to me with this recipe......just so I could add it to my 'Mexican' collection.
Thank you Carlos, you were a pleasure to work with and my family enjoys this dish every time I make it. I encourage you to try this recipe......it is so simple, easy and oh so tasty!
