Asian Style Chicken Wings with a Spicy Garlic Ginger Sauce

I’m not a big fan of sweet bbq sauces on ribs or wings. In fact I dislike sweet bbq sauces immensely (sounds nicer than hate). But I don’t mind garlic honey Asian sauces. So when I saw these wings on Foodgawker today I thought I would give them a try. Like the Ravenous Couple, who…

Caramel Popcorn with Sea Salt

I found a couple of recipes for Caramel Popcorn on line and they all looked good. But the one that appealed to me the most was this one from Fare to Remember What appealed to me the most about this recipe was that the ingredients were very similar to my fudge/caramel recipe. Salted Caramel Popcorn…

Sunday and Monday Night Dinners

Both of these dinners are very simple to put together. The chicken was roasted on high heat and tonight’s pork chops were grilled. The chops were rubbed with fresh garlic, salt, pepper and chipotle pepper so they were a little spicy. The corn came from our garden and was sweet and tender. I planted about…

Breakfast – Eggs in a Cloud

I made Moe wait for his breakfast this morning. But it was worth waiting for. I remembered one of Monique’s recent posts on her blog La Table De Nana when she baked Eggs in a Cloud.. I thought at the time that this was something that Moe would really love. And I was right. I…

Fish Dinner

I left for work an hour early yesterday morning so I could go to the farmers market. I picked up a number of fresh veggies – green beans, yellow beans, swiss chard, two more pounds of wonderful fresh garlic, zucchini, cauliflower and little fingerling potatoes. We had dinner with Clif, our next door neighbour. I…

Chocolate and Salt……….

I’ve always loved chocolate (although I confess it is milk chocolate that I love) and salt. So these cookies of Jacques Torres sprinkled with sea salt are the perfect cookie. Earlier this week I mixed up a batch of cookie dough and then baked nine a day until they were gone. Shared with our neighbours…

Sweet Cornbread Cake

Yesterday morning for breakfast I mixed up my favourite cornbread batter and made three mini loaves. I wanted something a little sweeter so I changed up the recipe a little. Increased the sugar and added a little orange zest to the mix. I tossed a few raspberries in a third of the batter. Moe ate…

Pizza Margherita

Pizza was on the menu here last night. I still had the other half of the dough I made on Wednesday so I baked a pizza and another loaf of bread. Moe pulled the dough out of the fridge a couple of hours before I got home from work so that the dough would be…

Plum Cake and Tarte Au Sucre Cake

Yesterday was “bake” day. I kneaded up a double batch of French bread dough and a batch of brioche dough. I baked three baguettes with half the French dough and the other half went back into the fridge (for tonight’s pizza). The brioche dough was divided in two and patted into two cake pans. One…

Canadian Back Bacon and Tomato Sandwiches

The weather has been just about perfect for tomatoes this year. I’m still picking three or four a day. I never get tired of toasted bacon and tomatoes sandwiches. Breakfast this morning was another one but this time I used Canadian Back Bacon and homemade buns.
