Last Night and this morning

Monday Night Dinner I took a small pork tenderloin out of the freezer late yesterday afternoon thinking that I might make breaded pork tenderloin with mushroom sauce. But instead I rubbed it with garlic and lots of fresh ground black pepper and roasted it for about 15 minutes in a hot oven. We had fried…

Sunday Morning

Baked a batch of Jacques Torres Chocolate Chip Cookies. Still have lots of dough left for tomorrow. Then I put a half a turkey in the oven to roast before leaving for work. I had pre-salted this turkey on Friday night. Although we just had hot chicken sandwiches for dinner earlier this week, I offered…

Friday and Saturday Night Dinners

Chicken Fried Rice with Shanghai Bok Choy I had a craving for Chicken Fried Rice so I cooked a pot of rice Friday morning before going to work. And I thinly sliced up a couple of boneless chicken breasts while they were still frozen. Easier to slice thin that way. When I got home from…

Halibut coated with a Parmesan Crust

Another favourite tonight Lori’s (Hoopysmom) Parmesan Crusted Halibut. This is delicious. Note that the recipe calls for Panko, but I much prefer using fresh made bread crumbs. I think that the flavour is better and makes for a wonderful crispy coating.

Oh No Not Chicken Again…………

In between baking the Bagels and the Bread I roasted another small chicken for dinner. This time though we had Hot Chicken Sandwiches with homemade fries. My favourite “Diner food”.

Sourdough Bagels

It has been a while since I made Bagels. I’d forgotten how much Moe liked them. He had his first two when the first batch came out of the oven. And two more toasted from the third batch. Morning snack. Good thing Matthew isn’t home or there would be none for the freezer. Home Cookin…

Sourdough………..Bake Day

I started Sunday night by using some of my sourdough “mother” to make a Levain and then I fed the remaining starter. Both were left on the counter over night to develop. This is what the Starter looked like on Monday morning: And this is what the Levain looked liked. It started out as a…

Soup was on the Menu…………

……. last night. Thanks to Mary’s picture of her soup with meatballs I had a craving. I made a bastardized version of my favourite Stracciatella Soup. I made Meatballs using ground chicken breasts, fresh spinach, garlic, onion, fresh bread crumbs, a little of my frozen pesto sauce, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper and an egg. I…
