Best Oatmeal Cookies

I’m at the store today so I have no idea what dinner will be. So I thought I would share the cookies I baked this morning on Foodie Friday. Thanks again to Designs by Gollum for hosting Foodie Fridays. I promised Moe last night I would make a batch of his favourite cookies today. So…

Greek Ribs

Greek is one of our favourite cuisines. Tonight’s dinner was Greek Ribs. Yesterday I pre-salted two small racks of baby back ribs and today seasoned them with garlic, and oregano and lemon. I got home from work about 5:15 and turned on the grill. The ribs went on the grill about 5:30 and we were…

Dessert – Meringue Roulade

Last night’s dessert I love Meringues. But not the hard kind. I like meringue to be crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. This is the type of dessert that can be made at the last minute. Bakes in less than 20 minutes and once it has cooled it can be…

Chicken Pie

I made a Chicken Pie tonight. I used my regular chicken pot pie recipe but rather than top the pie with a single crust as the recipe calls for, I made a double crust pie. Tastes the same, only better – more buttery crust. This recipe is very versatile. You can top the pie with…

Prawn and Avocado Salad

We drove down to Victoria today to drop off at my son’s apartment some of the chocolate Easter eggs and the Perogies that I made last week. We had a wonderful Dim Sum lunch in Chinatown and ate way too much. Rather than make a big dinner I made Moe the salad that he requested…

Maple Cream Fudge

I’ve added a few new photos to the side bar and over the next day or two I’ll add recipes to go with the photos. Thought I would start with a recipe to go with the Maple Cream Fudge. Another family favourite. I don’t use a candy thermometer when I make fudge. I just do…

Traditional Roast Chicken Dinner or…………..

……..a condemned man’s last meal. This is the dinner that Moe said he would request if he knew it would be his last meal. Roast Chicken, Mashed potatoes, Stuffing/dressing Rutabaga and buttered peas. The chicken was presalted using Judy Roger’s Zuni Cafe Method. And roasted using Barbara Kafka’s High Heat method. Just preheat the oven…

Easy Dessert

Blackberry Turnovers I still had half a package of puff pastry leftover from last night – so I made Blackberry turnovers. No recipe. Took some blackberries out of the freezer, mixed with a little sugar and cornstarch. Spooned on to the dough, topped with 1/2 teaspoon butter, brushed edges with egg wash, folded the dough…

Escargot under Puff Pastry

I had absolutely nothing planned for dinner. I never even thought about it until I was on my way home from work. Lucky for me, Moe is very easy and is happy with just about anything I want to serve him. Yesterday when I went to pick up a few groceries I bought a package…

Sourdough Rye Bread

Yesterday was quite a productive day. I started off very early morning, before 6:00 am, feeding my sourdough starters. Baked Buttermilk Biscuits to go with the sausage gravy for breakfast. Made a double batch of Monique’s Chocolate covered Easter Eggs. The starter was really active and doubled by early afternoon so I used some of…
