Escargot under Puff Pastry

I had absolutely nothing planned for dinner. I never even thought about it until I was on my way home from work. Lucky for me, Moe is very easy and is happy with just about anything I want to serve him. Yesterday when I went to pick up a few groceries I bought a package…

Sourdough Rye Bread

Yesterday was quite a productive day. I started off very early morning, before 6:00 am, feeding my sourdough starters. Baked Buttermilk Biscuits to go with the sausage gravy for breakfast. Made a double batch of Monique’s Chocolate covered Easter Eggs. The starter was really active and doubled by early afternoon so I used some of…

Easter Ham Dinner

Served early. On Friday. I had Friday off work so I decided to bake our ham on Good Friday instead of Easter Sunday. I’m a purist when it comes to ham. I don’t like glazes of any kind. Usually I buy a bone in ham, but this one was a boneless one from my favourite…

Easter – Homemade Chocolate Cream Filled Eggs

I made Monique’s Chocolate Cream Filled Eggs yesterday. Please check out Monique’s blog La Table De Nana for the recipe. And while you are there spend a little time looking around. You won’t find a more beautiful blog. The recipe calls for 1/2 a can of Condensed Milk. And what was I going to do…

Sausage Gravy with Buttermilk Biscuits

Another “Diner” meal. Southern Style! I love biscuits and sausage gravy and have eaten it often for breakfast in restaurants throughout the US. But it isn’t something that you will find on a menu in Canada. So when I get a craving for it I have to make it myself. Basic Outline. Again, I don’t…

Chicken Parmesan with a Side of Pasta

This is another meal that can be put together in less than an hour after getting home from work. First thing I did was put the water on to boil for the pasta and the sauce on to simmer. Basically just a marinara sauce; olive oil, garlic, tomatoes, fresh basil, salt and pepper. While the…

Breakfast of Scrambled Eggs and Cornbread

Moe put a request in this morning for cornbread. Used my vintage Griswold corn stick pan and then the extra batter went into muffin tins. I made him scrambled eggs with chives and some sauted cherry tomatoes with basil to serve with the corn sticks.

Rack of Lamb and Perogies

Perogies are not what I would normally serve as a side with Rack of Lamb. I didn’t hear any complaints from Moe though. Monday, on my way back from getting physio on my neck (I put it out on Saturday) I stopped at my favourite butcher, the Cowichan Valley Meat Market. This meat market is…

Perogies – Recipe and Pictorial

Perogies Dough 3 cups flour1 eggteaspoon salt1/4 cup sour creamwater Place ingredients in food processor pulse to mix. Add a little water and process until dough comes together. Should…

Ham, Cheddar and Chive Buttermilk Biscuits

Another biscuit breakfast. Moe requested ham or bacon biscuits. I had some Canadian Back Bacon on hand so that is what I used. I fried the Back Bacon first and I let it cool before adding to the mix. I used my basic Country/Buttermilk Biscuit recipe.
