A childhood  “Chinese Take-Out” favourite. No real recipe.    Just boneless chicken breasts, flattened, rubbed with a little garlic, salt and pepper,dipped in a light batter and fried in hot oil.  Sliced and served topped with gravy and toasted almonds.

    If you are looking for a very simple to make cake, you can’t go wrong with this Lemony Butter Cake with Cream Cheese Filling. I found the recipe through Pinterest. It was featured on the blog – Wine Imbiber. I made a few very minor changes.    First of all I love cream cheese…

If you love eggplant, you will love this combination of eggplant, pork and tempura batter. Moe declared the recipe a “keeper” and one that he would be happy to eat often. The inspiration for dinner came from Adam –  author of  The Unorthodox Epicure. You can find Adam’s recipe here. I took the basic idea…

Chicken in a light lemon sauce. More tangy than sweet. This is basically the same batter I use when I make halibut fish and chips.      The only difference is the addition of a couple of egg yolks which are optional. A crisp, light batter similar to Tempura. I use a vintage cast iron pot as…

I love these meatballs. Made from pork and seasoned with garlic and fresh basil. Last week when we were having dinner with Clif and Barb, I made a double batch of meatballs.
