Mac & Mimi's Kitchen

Helping you achieve your dreams🍝💥

Our Veggie Bolognese is locally made & loaded with fresh veggies, mushrooms & two varieties of lentils.

Today we honour Orange Shirt Day and the first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

We are grateful to live, work, play, and create on the unceded ancestral territory of the Syilx Okanagan.

We stand in solidarity with the Indigenous People of Turtle Island and are committed to respectfully learning, listening, and supporting far beyond today.

We LOVE our cabbage around here and it’s one of the main ingredients in our Baba’s Borshch and our Vegan Borshch. The humble cabbage is basically a superfood loaded with vitamins C, A and K, fibre, antioxidants and more 🥬 Besides borshch our favourite way to eat cabbage is kimchi 🌶 How do you like your cabbage?

Upcycling this shot from our a couple summers ago 🥰

Happy Family Day from our family to yours ❤️

What a long weekend it’s been with Lunar New Year, Valentine’s Day and Family Day and lined up 🤩

We made a weekend bucket list which included trying a new pasta recipe (go figure we love our pasta 😍). We went with this Three-Cheese Beet Cappelletti with Meyer Lemon & Mint from it was fun to make with the kiddos, super tasty with the mint and lemon, and so pretty with the beet pasta dough using fresh eggs 💜

We had some good laughs as we all tried making this new shape, we don’t have much experience with stuffed pasta so it was a learning experience for sure 😂 Will make again soon to work on our technique and because it was so delicious!

What did you guys eat that was delicious this long weekend?

Instagram vs reality 🥞 😂

We had lots of fun last weekend making pancakes with the kiddos and they were so cute (the pancakes and the kids 🥰) that we had to take some pics!

Our go to recipe for pancakes is from check it out in our new Food Inspo highlights.

We hope everyone is staying warm and has a fun family day weekend 🤗 ❤️

Wishing everyone Happy Tết! ❤️

This time last year we were preparing to visit Vietnam, we’re so glad went even though we had to come home early. We fell in love with the country, the food and all the kind people we met along our adventure. We hope to return someday soon.

Tomorrow is Tet, the Vietnamese New Year and the country’s most important holiday. An example of Tet being the definitive Vietnamese holiday is that 'Tet' itself means 'festival' and is the shortened version of 'Tết Nguyên Đán', which is Sino-Vietnamese for 'Feast of the First Morning of the First Day'.

Tet Holiday carries love and hope, signifies family and friend kinship, and promises a better year ahead

Happy Tết!

We took this photo in Hoi An Ancient Town on the evening of March 18, 2020 the day before it was closed to tourists.

How amazing is this? It’s today! So we figured it’s a perfect time to share our newest flavour with you... Tortilla Soup with Guajillo Chili 😍🌶

Our Tortilla Soup is vegan, gluten free, preservative free, oil free and full of flavour. If our Baba’s Borshch is like a bowl full of hugs we might say our Tortilla Soup is like a fiesta in your mouth (cue piñata emoji) 🪅 🥳 😂

If you haven’t had them before, guajillo chilies are mildly spicy, sweet and tangy with a subtle smoky flavour.

We love to garnish our bowls of Tortilla Soup with all the fixings - toasted tortilla strips (or tortilla chips), avocado, cilantro, and sometimes a soft cheese like queso fresco, feta or boconchini 😋

We’re happy to still offer free local delivery in the Kelowna area, order at the link, DM or call or text us at 250-212-4524 🥣

We’re so excited to share our newest flavour... Vegan Borshch 🤩

Our Vegan Borshch is Vegan (surprise🎉), Gluten Free, Nut Free, Preservative Free and made with all natural ingredients including only BC grown produce 💚

The recipe is made creamy with Non GMO Oat Milk and Organic Coconut Cream. The flavour is similar to our Traditional Recipe Baba’s Borshch just a little more tomato forward and all that dilly savoury warm deliciousness. Still like a bowl full of hugs... just vegan hugs 🤗

Available with free local delivery at the link in bio, by DM, or call or text us at 250-212-4524. We hope you enjoy ❤️

And btw how cute are these little cabbages from Don-O-Ray Farms 🥰

It feels so good to start the year off like this!!

Thanks to your support of Baba’s Borshch throughout December and together with our friends at Purkids Foundation we raised $400 which was donated to the Central Okanagan Community Food Bank today! And did you know that the Food Bank is able to buy $3 worth of food with every $1 donated? That means $1,200 worth of food can be purchased with our donation which makes us so happy ❤️

We love our community and it’s our desire to give back and support charities making a local impact.

Your support of Mac & Mimi’s and the support from Purkids means so much to us! We cannot wait to see what we can do together this year 🤗

This time last year we had no idea what 2020 would look like on the other side... and wow... what a ride it was ❤️

As I reflect on the year I am grateful and feel blessed. My family and loved ones are all healthy. I feel blessed for the adventure my family had in Vietnam early in the year and for all the trips we’ve taken together over the years.

Seeing the travel industry, which I love and have devoted 20 years to, disappear almost overnight was seriously heartbreaking to me. This loss helped me look at things differently and pushed me to pivot and focus on my other passion. I feel so blessed for family, friends and our community which helped support and encourage my new adventure in the kitchen!

I am so excited for what’s to come in 2021. I have so many plans for Mac & Mimi’s and look forward to sharing them with you.

Thank you for your support. Cheers to good health, happiness, new adventures and of course delicious food 🥂
