I roasted a rack of pork for dinner last week and another for last night’s dinner.  This time, leaving the bones in place, I butterflied and stuffed the rack.  Stuffing was just a simple bread, garlic and sage dressing. The roast was presalted on Thursday and left to air dry overnight and Saturday before being…

I have been saving this dinner to share on this weeks Saturday Blog Showcase being hosted by Lori at All That Splatters.    I prepared this dish last Sunday for dinner.   Both Moe and I really like Eggplant and I especially love it with an Asian twist.   This was sooooo goood and definitely something I…

We had baked halibut for dinner last night.   The fish was topped with seasoned bread crumbs.   I sauted a little garlic in butter and drizzled it over the bread crumbs and then added a little fresh dill , lemon zest and some fresh grated parmesan cheese.   Baked in a 450°F oven for less than 10…

  I had defrosted a double chicken breast with the idea of roasting it for dinner.  But I really felt like pasta soooo…….. the chicken became chicken parmesan served with a side of pasta. An easy dinner to put together. Boneless chicken breast, pounded flat, rubbed with a little fresh garlic,  dipped in flour seasoned…

  Dinner tonight was Rack of Pork.   I presalted the rack on Thursday night and this morning before leaving for work I seasoned the roast  with fresh sage, garlic and fresh ground black pepper. I worked the new store in Victoria today and  knew I would be late getting home from work so Moe’s job…

This week’s Saturday Blog Showcase recipe is another recipe from  The New Portuguese Table cookbook by David Leite. White Beans and Sausage (Feijao branco e chourico da minha familia) I knew that this would be one of the first recipes I would try out of this book.  Moe loves beans of any kind, especially baked…

  This is one of our favourites.  Especially when it is made with fresh caught local Spot Prawns.  Rather than serve it as a “Tapa”  or an appetizer portion I serve it as a main course.  With lots of homemade French Baguette to sop up all the wonderful garlic sauce.

  I roasted a small sirloin tip roast for dinner last night.  The beef had been presalted on Monday.  I uncovered it early Tuesday morning so that it could air dry. Usually I serve roast beef with mashed potatoes, but, decided to go with David Leite’s recipe for Punched Potatoes.     I was recently gifted …

Rhubarb Pie is my all time favourite pie.  So I’m always excited for the first rhubarb of the season.    I baked two rhubarb pies yesterday using the same recipe I’ve been using for over 30 years.   It is Madame Benoit’s recipe and I’ve yet to find another rhubarb pie recipe that is better than…

There are a number of version of this recipe.  I found a recipe that appealed to me on another blogger’s site and I adjusted it to suit my taste.   The recipe called for both ketchup and sugar.  I dislike ketchup “immensely”. (sounds better than hate) so I never have it on hand.  Since the…
