First dinner of 2025. Baked a bone in ham and served with scalloped potatoes, squash, and Brussel Sprouts.

It has been our tradition for 50 plus years to have lobster or Dungeness crab on NY Eve. With a bottle of champagne. This year we had to do something different because both lobster and crab are high in sodium. Ready for the grill I made one of Moe’s favourites – I bought a beautiful…

This is a recipe that I have no been making for more than 40 years. I haven’t made it in years so it never made it on to the blog. I pulled it up in my files today and decided to add it now to the blog with the intentions of making it again one…
