Bagels and Breakfast

Started a batch of bagels while I was preparing dinner last night. Started about 5:30 pm and the bagels came out of the oven at 8:30. Cheddar and Onion. Moe and I both had toasted bagels with tomatoes for breakfast. My favourite topping on a toasted bagel. The recipe for the bagels can be found…

Pulled from the Freezer

Started my four day work schedule yesterday. Decided on something simple for dinner, because I also wanted to bake bagels last night. I still had some of the perogies I made a few weeks back, in the freezer so they became dinner. Fried up some side pork and onions to go with them. I posted…

King Crab, Greek Salad and Bread and Butter Pudding……

Ready to be steamed How does that sound? To me, it sounds like Barb’s Birthday dinner. Three of her favourite foods. Her husband Clif, bought 6 pounds of King Crab and gave it to me to cook. It was suppose to be a surprise, but Barb figured it out. I made the Greek Salad and…

Chocolate and Caramel Roasted Almonds

Found this recipe on another blog Piggy’s Cooking Journal. Thought they sounded good and I just happened to have a bag of whole almonds in the freezer. The recipe is very easy.

Pepperoni and Mushroom Pizza

Greek – Pork Souvlaki

Pork Souvlaki Orange, Onion and Kalamata Olive Salad Another work day meal. One that can be put together in about an hour. Pork Souvlaki served with rice and a Orange, Onion and Kalamata Olive Salad.
