Drop Biscuits

Moe put in a request this morning for Buttermilk biscuits with cheese and chives. The same biscuits that I made last week. (Actually he really wanted cheese, chives and ham, but I was missing the ham) Rather than roll and cut them I decided to make drop biscuits. I use the same recipe but add…

Italian Roasted Chicken

I took a chicken out of the freezer for dinner tonight with the intentions of just roasting it. But Moe put in a request for Italian. This is actually a favourite of his and one I haven’t made for him in at least a year. Brings back fond memories of the New Marconi Ristorante Italiano…

Easy Dinner

Very easy for me since someone else cooked it. We had dinner at our neighbours last night. Clif made his honey garlic baby back ribs and he also did a dry version with garlic and rosemary for me. He knows that I don’t like sweet sauces on my ribs. How good a neighbour is that!!!…

Friday’s Pot Roast

My work schedule at the moment is Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I have been trying to plan dinners on those nights that are easy to put together. Pot roast is one of them. I can start it in the morning and just have Moe take it out of the oven when it is done. All…

Curry Dinner

Beef Curry Chicken Curry Promised Moe a curry dinner this week. Usually we go out for curry because then we can order three or four different items. When I make curry, its the same thing. We want a variety. So I spent most of the afternoon off and on in the kitchen. We had a…

Decadent Brownies made more Decadent.

I saw a picture of a brownie on Tastespotting and Foodgawker that was topped with white chocolate. Apparently the recipe was one of Dorie Greenspan’s. I decided to make brownies tonight using my own Decadent Brownie recipe and just add even more chocolate. I chopped up about 6 ounces of Callebaut milk Chocolate and added…

Just for Moe

I was out for lunch with a friend and just wasn’t hungry tonight. So I grilled Moe a New York Strip and baked him a potato. I think that he would be happy if I made him a baked potato every day.

Baking Bread…………………

……….is what I enjoying doing on my days off. Although I’ll play around with rye and whole wheat occasionally, it is white bread that we prefer. Usually a French or Italian or sourdough based bread with a good crust. So most weeks, I try to bake at least twice and sometimes three times. And I…

Sourdough Crust

We were still so full from breakfast, that I didn’t plan anything for dinner. I had some sourdough leftover from a couple of days ago so I added it into a new batch of bread dough. Baked three loaves of bread and saved a little of the dough for a pizza. Just sauce and cheese….
