Rice Pudding

Lori, (All that Splatters) shared her favourite rice pudding recipe with me. It was Giada de Laurentiis recipe for Rice Pudding with Vanilla Bean, Orange and Rum. Lori told me that it was the creamiest rice pudding and she was right. I made a couple of adjustments. I left out the orange and the rum….

Grilled Prime Rib for Two

Another simple meal to put together after getting home from work at 5:30. Grilled Prime Rib Steak for two, mini baked potatoes topped with sour cream and chives, grilled red peppers and fresh asparagus.

Salisbury Steak

Another “old fashioned” diner meal. The secret to making a good Salisbury steak is to let the meat simmer in the gravy for at least an hour. The meat should be tender and not have the texture of a just fried or grilled burger. Simmering also enriches the flavour of the gravy. Salisbury Steak In…

Drop Biscuits

Moe put in a request this morning for Buttermilk biscuits with cheese and chives. The same biscuits that I made last week. (Actually he really wanted cheese, chives and ham, but I was missing the ham) Rather than roll and cut them I decided to make drop biscuits. I use the same recipe but add…

Italian Roasted Chicken

I took a chicken out of the freezer for dinner tonight with the intentions of just roasting it. But Moe put in a request for Italian. This is actually a favourite of his and one I haven’t made for him in at least a year. Brings back fond memories of the New Marconi Ristorante Italiano…
