Grilled Boneless Rib Eye Dinner

I had no idea what I wanted for dinner yesterday.   So I asked Moe would he would like and he requested steak.  Before leaving for work I pulled a big thick rib eye out of the freezer to defrost.  This was one of the steaks from the whole rib roast I posted about back in…

Oatmeal Buttermilk Pancakes

Since I didn’t cook dinner last night I thought I would make Moe a good breakfast.  Buttermilk Oatmeal Pancakes.    I made these for him once before, almost a year ago.  I should make them more often though because they really are good.   The oatmeal  is mixed with the buttermilk and left to soak overnight covered…

Halibut Fish and Chips – My Favourite Take-Out

We don’t have Take-Out often.  Not because I’m against take-out.  I’m all for  take-out.  Unfortunately though, we live in an area where the take-out  that is available is either  really bad Chinese or really bad pizza.  Hence the reason I make both of those myself.     Thankfully my favourite take-out –  Fish and Chips…

Sides were the must-have mashed potatoes and…

Lori’s White Chili and a New Year Commitment

I was looking at Lori’s White Chili pictures and recipe and thinking how good it looked and decided I would make it for dinner.   It called for cooked chicken so I poached three chicken breasts and then on my way to work I stopped and picked up the other ingredients I needed. This is definitely…

Warm Gingerbread Cake with Caramel Sauce

Last nights dessert was a  last minute decision.   I wasn’t going to bother making a dessert but I knew my two guests would be disappointed.  Soooooo I baked a Gingerbread Cake.   This cake is rich, moist and  and delicious and can be served with either a lemon sauce or caramel sauce. I like both sauces…
