Back to work after three days off. I took a small boneless rib roast out of the freezer for dinner. After it thawed Moe salted it. Seasoned with fresh garlic and lots of coarse ground black pepper, it was started on a hot grill to sear and then finished off in a 500°F oven. It…

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.
Angel Hair Pasta with Lobster
I didn’t get nearly as much done as I had wanted on my days off this week. It snowed Monday and Tuesday wasn’t much better. So that left Wednesday. It was only raining so I headed down to Victoria to finish up my Christmas shopping. On the way home I stopped at the market thinking…

Spicy Asian Chicken
I called Moe from work on Friday and asked him to take some boneless chicken breasts out of the freezer. I wasn’t sure what I was going to make with them but was leaning towards Italian or Chinese. Chinese won out. Something quick and simple. I used Ken Hom’s marinade for his Classic Lemon Chicken,…
Cream Cheese Danish
I’ve been neglecting my blog this week. It isn’t that I haven’t been cooking, I have. Honestly. One night we had chicken livers sauted with onions, garlic, green peppers and seasoned with a little oregano and the juice from a lemon, served over rice. Not very photo worth, but sure tasted good. Another night I…
Weekly Bread Post
This bread makes the best toast. I kneaded up a large batch of bread dough on Tuesday morning. Baked four baguettes on Wednesday and saved half the dough to make pizza and two more loaves of bread Thursday night. Moe took the dough of the fridge an hour or so before I got home…
Diner Food
One of the local grocery stores had both Pork Tenderloin and Rump Roasts on special this week. Buy one get one free. The pork tenderloins were wrapped in packages of threes, by the butcher. Fresh pork, not package in a brine or solution. I bought two packages. Froze 5 of the tenderloins and kept one…
Satisfying a Craving
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.
