I try to bake bread at least one if not two days a week, on my days off. This past week I baked 6 baguettes on Tuesday, and three sourdough baguettes on Wednesday. I saved enough dough from the sour dough batch to make a pizza. I know I have mentioned it before, but giving…

Asian Lettuce Cups Again………………..
……….and I think that they are going to start showing up on the menu around here again and again and again. It is about the only time I actually enjoy lettuce. I love the cool crispness of the lettuce against the hot seasoned pork and the spicy sauce. I found that Romaine leaves make for…
Beef, Beef and More Beef………..
Beef will be on the menu here……….. Yesterday I bought a whole boneless Rib eye roast weighing over 13 pounds. Triple A ( AAA) Alberta beef. I cut it up into 12 thick steaks. All were around one pound or slightly over. Since Moe and I both enjoy our steaks rare, I prefer to grill…
Afternoon Snack
Bake day again yesterday. Six loaves – three regular baguettes and three with roasted garlic and cheddar. Moe’s afternoon snack – baguette with six year old Balderson Cheddar. I have been feeding my sourdough starters the last couple of days (they have been sadly neglected) and last night before bed I used some of the…
Baked Risotto meets Southern Fried Chicken
Baked Risotto is so easy and versatile. Mary recently shared the recipe for Baked Risotto on her beautiful blog Once Upon a Plate . I made a version of it last week using prawns. Tonight’s version was made with shallots and garlic along with the addition of sauted Crimini mushrooms and seasoned with fresh sage,butter…
Sicilian Orange Cake
Sicilian Orange Cake. Doesn’t that sound good? I found a picture of this cake along with the recipe on another blog – The Little Teochew. Her blog is full of wonderful recipes and photos. Rather than one big cake I made 6 small bundt cakes. They came out of the oven just before I…
Beef Tenderloin Filets with a Green Peppercorn Sauce
I don’t know if I have mentioned it before, but I LOVE green peppercorns. But only the dried version. I don’t care for green peppercorns that have been brined. They have a vinegary taste that I don’t care for. I pass a grocery store on my drive to work. Most days I stop on…
Turkey Revisited
It was just last Monday (Canadian Thanksgiving) that we had a turkey dinner. But for some reason I was craving it again. So last night I roasted a whole turkey breast. It was just over six pounds so lots of leftovers for my favourite Hot Turkey Sandwiches. Besides the standards of dressing, mashed potatoes and…
Italian Sausage and Olive Pizza
I finally got around to making a pizza for dinner. The dough was started last Wednesday and then incorporated into another batch of dough Sunday. The crust was wonderful. Since most doughs are just flour, yeast, water and salt, you can pretty much use your favourite bread recipe to make pizza. Lately it seems I…
Roasted Garlic and Cheddar Baguettes
Bake Day. Last Wednesday I made a triple batch of dough with the idea of baking bread and saving enough dough to make a pizza on Saturday. The bread got baked Wednesday but the pizza never happened so………… I kneaded up another batch of dough Sunday morning and added the saved dough to the mix. …
