Breakfast yesterday morning was white cheddar drop biscuits.   Seasoned with fresh dill, garlic, chives, salt and pepper, served warm, topped with butter.    I used my regular country biscuit recipe to make these drop biscuits.  The only difference is the addition of extra liquid, be it milk, cream or buttermilk to make a slightly softer…

I had a little Prime Rib that I presalted on Saturday with the intention of serving for dinner on Sunday.  But that didn’t happen and it didn’t happen again Monday.  Matt decided that he was going to come up for a couple of days so I postponed grilling it on Tuesday so we could have…

It was my intention to grill a small prime rib for dinner last night.  The roast had been pre-salted the day before and left to air dry in the fridge most of Sunday.   BUT, neither of us felt like a big dinner last night so I made Moe a salad. Just a simple salad made…

I picked up three baby eggplants the other day and went looking for a recipe.  Couldn’t find anything that appealed so I decided to make a new version of my favourite Moussaka recipe.   Rather than layering the eggplant, potato and meat mixture in a casserole I decided to stuff the baby eggplants.

The shortcakes went into the oven minutes after I…

More a miss than a hit. Potato Gratin Pie.  Now the idea of this really appealed to me.  What was not to like. Creamy potato gratin in a rich pastry crust.   The idea for this pie originated on another website.   The pie was basically a crust with a filling of raw grated potato and raw…

This chicken recipe has been a favourite of mine since we lived…
