Saturday Night’s dinner was grilled ribeyes with Moe’s favourite – a baked potato – and my favourite – steamed green beans.    The only thing that takes time is the potato.  Rubbed with butter, salted and baked in a 450°F  oven for 25 minutes, poked with a fork, turned once, poked again and baked for another…

We had Parmesan Crusted Halibut for dinner Friday night.  This is another one of my  favourite ways to prepare fresh halibut.    I was late getting out of work so Moe picked up the halibut for me.  This is another one of those dinners that is quick to get on the table.  The fish only takes…

This weeks Saturday Blog Showcase is being hosted by Lori of All That Splatters.    Since the creation of the SBS I  have tried at least 20 new recipes. All of which have been found on other blogs.  It isn’t always easy but I am committed to trying at least one new recipe a week. If…

  It has been a while since I made a Mexican dinner.  The reason being,  I was having trouble finding masa harina flour in my local grocery stores.   Remembered to pick up a bag when I was in Victoria earlier this week.  Homemade corn tortillas are so much better than those found in the grocery…

  I grilled a couple of extra boneless chicken breasts  when I made dinner last night. Used them today to  make  club house sandwiches for brunch.  Toasted a homemade baguette and topped with the chicken breasts,  bacon, lettuce and tomatoes.

A quick to make dinner after a long day at work. This dinner took no time at all to prepare.   While the water was coming to a boil, and the grill was heating,  the chicken was pounded out and rubbed with fresh garlic (pureed on a microplane), Dijon mustard, fresh squeezed lemon juice, salt and…

Those that know me, know that I’m not a fan of salad.  Never have been.  This is unfortunate for Moe since he loves salads.   It isn’t that I won’t make or eat salads, just, that I don’t get any satisfaction out of eating a salad.  This past week though I made Moe a salad twice. …

This week I am showcasing a blog from England – Cherrapeno,  hosted by Nic, and sharing her recipe for Wrapped Baked Asparagus with Parmesan.   I have bookmarked a number of recipes on Nic’s blog to try, including her  Raspberry Cream Cake and her marinated feta.   The asparagus is meant to be an appetizer, but Moe…

I picked up four more pounds of rhubarb thinking I would make something other than pies with it.  BUT, we love rhubarb pie, sooooooo……………. I baked two pies  with lattice crusts.      One for us, and  one for Matthew  Which I delivered to him at his office on Wednesday.   He shared it with his team….
