Canada’s Thanksgiving is long past and I probably won’t cook a turkey until Christmas. But the American Thanksgiving had me craving a turkey dinner. Had to settle for a roast chicken dinner with cornbread stuffing. Did some prep work before leaving for work Friday morning. Baked cornbread and left it out to dry and I…

My Favourite Cornbread
Baked in a vintage Griswold cast iron frying pan Being a “Northerner” and a “Canadian” at that, I like my cornbread on the sweet side. The exception is when I bake it with the idea of using at least some of it in a Cornbread stuffing/dressing. I have two cornbread recipes that I use interchangeably. …
Rib Eye
Last nights dinner. Probably the easiest dinner to put together. Steak on the grill. Mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli. Nothing fancy – but it sure tasted good.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!!!!!
Happy Thanksgiving to all my American friends and followers. Hope you have a wonderful day with your family and friends.
Cooking for One
Nothing too exciting coming out of my kitchen this week. Moe has been out of town since Thursday so I have been cooking for myself. Thursday night I made a chicken stew with dumplings (No pictures) and took leftovers to work on Friday for lunch. Friday night I had toast and tea for dinner. At…
This Week’s Bread
As you have probably noticed it has become my routine to bake bread on my days off work This week I spread the baking over two days. Three baguettes were baked on Tuesday using half a batch of dough. The other half went back into the fridge and was baked on Wednesday morning becoming four…
Stuffed Baby Back Ribs
I don’t know if this is a “Canadian”dish or not, but I posted it years ago on the Cooking Forum and the only other person that was familiar with it was a fellow Canadian. This is a dish my mom used to make. This is so good. The sage dressing both flavours and is flavoured…
Garlic Prawns over Pasta
Last spring I froze a number of containers of our local spotted prawns. Beheaded but tails left on and frozen in water. This is the best way to freeze prawns or shrimp if you want them to retain their fresh caught flavour and texture. I still had two containers of local spotted prawns in the…
Grilled Leg of Lamb Greek Style
I bought a small butterflied leg of lamb. Fresh local lamb. Doesn’t get any better. Presalted it on Thursday and before leaving for work on Friday I rubbed with lots of garlic, oregano, black pepper and the zest of a lemon. The juice of a lemon was drizzled over the lamb about half an hour…
Definitely Carnivores
I still had a small Sirloin Tip roast in the freezer so it became our Tuesday night’s dinner. With simple sides of mashed potatoes and buttered peas. The roast took all of 30 minutes on high heat (500°F) to roast. Last night’s dinner was grilled pork chops seasoned with just salt, pepper and fresh garlic…
