This is one of my favourite dinners and it couldn’t be easier. A small prime rib, just big enough for two. Cooked on the grill. Served with roasted potatoes,steamed carrots (for Moe) and wonderful little tender green beans.    The roast was rubbed with fresh garlic and seasoned with salt and lots of coarsely ground black…

Moe and I are both hooked on Date and Nut loaf.   After trying a number of different recipes this past year I settled on  Kate in the Kitchen’s recipe.   I’ve been making it at least once a month if not more often.  The recipe makes three mini loaves or one large.  Adapts well to…

  My favourite little fish shop in Cowichan Bay is usually open Tuesday to Sunday until 6:00PM.  Meaning that I can detour there on my way home from work and pick up something fresh for dinner.   I wanted halibut for dinner but wasn’t sure  if  Cowichan Bay Seafood would even be open or be staying…

There seems to be more than one way to spell this little puff of goodness. I was going to make Moe pancakes for breakfast but then remembered that I wanted to try using my Aebelskiver pan.  I’ve had this pan for at least six years and I think I used it once when I first…

Scarborough Fair Eggs and Chips   OOH MY!!!!   We had the best breakfast this morning.    Thanks to Marie  from the English Kitchen.  Marie is actually a fellow Canadian living in England.  She shares her wonderful recipes accompanied by amazing photos.   I did make a few changes, adding  fresh herbs rather than dried  and fresh…

  I bought some locally picked Chanterelles and mixed them with portabellos and shittake mushrooms and served them over soft creamy polenta for dinner Saturday night.  The picture isn’t great, but it sure tasted good. Polenta is so easy to make.  I don’t measure, just bring a pot of chicken broth seasoned with garlic to…

Now that we are in for cooler weather, it is time to start baking bread again on a regular basis.   Started a double batch late in the afternoon and baked three loaves using just half the dough.     Two plain baguettes  and one large  filled with cheddar and roasted garlic.    The other half will probably…

   Before leaving for work this morning I took two boneless chicken breasts out of the freezer and stuck them in the fridge.  My intention was to grill them for dinner.  But the more I thought about dinner the more I wanted something with an Asian twist.   I decided to do a new take on…
