I finally got around to baking these Cranberry Pistachio Shortbreads.  Monique (La Table De Nana) made them recently and like everything she makes , they looked so good  I knew I had to make them. I just happened to have  shelled pistachios and cranberries   leftover from Christmas baking. Monique shared a link to the recipe…

I had a craving for Cinnamon Rolls. Started the dough on Tuesday evening. Rolled out, cut and placed in a buttered pan. Covered and into the fridge. I was up early Wednesday morning so I took the pan out of the fridge and left it on the counter to continue rising and come to room…

Made from leftover Prime Rib. I love French Dip/Beef Dip Sandwiches. But the beef has to be sliced very, very thin. The only way to get beef this thin is to  bring out the “Machine”. I have had this commercial slicer for going on 20 years. Bought when we lived in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario….
