I love Tomatoes
Even winter tomatoes. Although they are not as good as a just picked home or locally grown beef steak or heirloom tomato they are still better than nothing. I can’t go 9 months of the year without tomatoes. I find if I buy field tomatoes and leave them on the counter to ripen for a…
Wings
Wings were on the menu last night. I love wings. Usually I serve them with homemade fries or onion rings. But last night we just ate wings. Not a very healthy food day, between Hello Dolly squares and wings. I seasoned the wings earlier in the day with fresh garlic, cayenne pepper, hot red pepper…
Retro Dessert
Well, hello, Dolly, Its so nice to have you back where you belong………………….I don’t think I have made these in over 20 years. I forgot how good they are. What I really love about them is how the condensed milk drizzles down between the coconut and the chocolate. Very simple to make. TIP: Many recipes…
Pasta in a Sausage, Tomato and Cream Sauce
This is another very quick dinner to put together. Lori of All that Splatters shared this recipe with me a few years ago and it quickly became a favourite. TIP: I like to slice the sausage rather than crumble it. I parboil the sausage for a couple of minutes. Just long enough to firm them…
Cheddar and Onion Bagels
Plain, and, Cheese and Onion Bagels I have the next three days off so I will probably spend at least part of each day baking. Today it was Bagels. They freeze well and it is nice to be able to pull a couple of bagels out of the freezer for breakfast. I love mine toasted…

Roasted Rack of Pork
I prepped a rack of pork before leaving for work this morning. Bought at my favourite local butcher,the roast was a little 4 bone rack with the rind. I absolutely love “cracklins” I rubbed the rack with a mixture of fresh garlic, sage, salt and pepper. It was Moe’s job to take it out of…
Breakfast for Dinner
Usually I plan a little ahead on the days that I work and have some idea of what we are going to have for dinner. Yesterday, though, I didn’t. So on my way home from work I called Moe to see if he had any suggestions for dinner. I had to stop at the grocery…
