Two of our neighbours joined us for our first dinner of the New Year. More often than not I bake a ham for New Years day dinner. But this year I decided to go with lamb. I have this wonderful recipe for a lamb ragout that uses boneless lamb cut into cubes. I’ve made this…

I love good food so it helps that I love to cook. And I have a husband that is happy to eat anything I want to feed him.
First Breakfast of the New Year
What better way to start 2010 than with a late breakfast. We were up early and had coffee, but I waited until 10:30 before cooking breakfast. This way I can get away with only cooking two meals today. Spanish Tortilla baked in a vintage Griswold Cast Iron Skillet Served with English style bacon and toasted…
Happy New Year
New Years Eve is always a quiet affair at our home. Lobster and Champagne. Our tradition for over 30 years. One of our local grocery stores brings in lobsters from the east coast and sells them for $10.95 per lobster. I pre-ordered five live lobsters and picked them up yesterday morning before heading to work….
Peppercorn Steak
Dinner last night. Peppercorn Steak with a cream sauce seasoned with blue cheese. This is another one of those quick to put together dinners. New York Strip steaks, well trimmed and presalted for at least a couple of hours. Rubbed with fresh garlic and coated in crushed peppercorns. I used a mix of green, black…

Scallion Pancakes
I’ve been thinking of making Scallion Pancakes ever since I first saw them on Foodgawker and Tastespotting. Tonight was the night. I decided to use the recipe from Big, Bold, and Beautiful because her pancakes looked the best. And they didn’t disappoint. They were flaky and delicious. I mixed up my own dipping sauce…
Leftover Christmas Turkey
Christmas Turkey There were five of us for Christmas dinner. Moe, Matt and I and our neighbour Clif and his son Chris. I roasted an 18 pound turkey(pre-salted and roasted at 500°F) so there was lots leftover. The turkey was cooked in less than 2 1/2 hours. While cleaning up after dinner I cut up…
Christmas Eve Tourtiere
MERRY CHRISTMAS French Canadian Tourtiere. This is our traditional Christmas Eve dinner. The sides may vary but the pie is always the same. Moe would be happy with just the Tourtiere but Matthew and I want mashed potatoes and gravy with ours. For the past 7 years or so my friend Sharon (Chase from…
Spicy Chicken Cakes
Dinner tonight was Spicy Chicken Cakes. One of those dishes that Moe and I both like but I haven’t made them in a while. Linda (Doucanoe) shared this recipe on the Gardenweb’s Cooking Forum a few years ago. The original recipe calls for a Horseradish Aioli. As much as I love horseradish, I find…
Sunday Morning Sweet Treat
Moe requested scones this morning. And since scones are a favourite of mine I was happy to oblige. Rather than roll them out I made drop scones. Same recipe but with a tad more cream. Tossed in a few raspberries. Scones – Print Recipe 2 1/4 cups flour1/2 cup sugar2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder1/2 teaspoon…
