Thank you to Lori for hosting this week’s  Saturday Blog Showcase.  Visit Lori at All That Splatters and join in the fun. We had Potato Pancakes for breakfast topped with a dollop of Creme Fraiche and served with Peameal Bacon (My favourite bacon) local farm fresh eggs and toasted homemade bread. The recipe for the…

 I have Monday thru Wednesday off each week.  Most weeks I try to  knead up a double batch of French bread dough on Monday and  normally bake it over the next couple of days, often saving enough to make a pizza later in the week.   This week though time got away from me.  Wednesday we…

Looking through a few of my favourite blogs last night I found a Caramel Pudding  that Dana of Danalicious had cooked.  She found  the recipe on another blog  Smitten Kitchen. Smitten Kitchen  adjusted the recipe by cutting the sugar in half.  The original recipe can be found here on Food & Wine. Who doesn’t love…

Welcome to this weeks “Saturday Blog Showcase“. Lori of All That Splatters and I are share hosting.  This week it is my turn.  I’m showcasing two blogs – Rollin in the Dough and Annie’s Eats.  I was looking for a dessert recipe and found a picture of a  beautiful Double Chocolate Pecan Pie on Rollin…

I love diner food.  If I were to ever have my own restaurant it would be “Moe’s Diner”. LOL! I’d serve, beef on a bun, Roast chicken and turkey, Hot sandwiches, Shepherds Pie,  Stews, Pot Pies , Pork roasts and ribs, Prime Rib and Yorkshire Puddings and desserts would be bread and butter pudding, rice…

Moe has been requesting that I bake a batch of bagels (tongue twister), so today was the day.    What I love about baking bagels is that the whole process from start to finish takes not much more than three hours.   Three trays, one topped with sesame seeds, another with poppyseeds and a third…

I stopped at the grocery store on the way to work to  pick up something for dinner.  I was leaning towards roasting a chicken.   But instead, I bought a small boneless, skinless turkey breast.  First  thing I did when I got home from work was  make a quick bread stuffing.  I cut up what was…

 I baked bread on Wednesday with dough that was made on Tuesday.  I saved enough to make a pizza.  The difference between a crust made with fresh dough and one that has been given a long cold fermentation is night and day. The crust on last night’s pizza was perfect, if I do say so…

I had some buttermilk that I wanted to use in a breakfast treat so I went  looking for a “buttermilk” muffin recipe.   Lots of options.   Some combined buttermilk and oatmeal, one of Moe’s favourite combinations. And another recipe  contained apples which was an added appeal (no pun intended).  I had just about settled on one…
