Blueberry Upside Down Cake

We had a wonderful dinner at Clif and Barb’s last night (Neighbour). Clif prepared his Honey Garlic baby back ribs. Sides were baked potatoes and fresh local corn. Everything was sooooo good, I ate way too much. I made dessert. A simple to put together blueberry upside down cake. The recipe is one that I…

Plum Jam

Mexican Layered Supreme

I had a small pork roast that I wanted to slow roast and use in Pork Tacos. BUT it was just to hot to turn on the oven so I cut the roast up into cubes and made Pork Chili Verde. Rather than make tacos I used it in my favourite layered dish – Mexican…
