Hungarian Goulash is a favourite of my son Matthew. So when I knew he was going to come up for dinner this week that is what I decided to make. Along with the Goulash we had spaetzle, red cabbage and simmered green beans. Comfort food at its best. I made sure there were lots of…
Cheddar Cheese Crackers
I was looking for something to do with sharp cheddar cheese and found inspiration in a photo on Tastespotting. The picture posted by Zoomyummy was for a Salty Cheese Cookie. I adapted the recipe slightly and rather than cookies made both crackers and little cheese olive bites. I thought that these crackers actually tasted even…
Baked Potatoes for Breakfast
Yesterday was a strange food day. The first thing I did was put on a pot of Hungarian Goulash to simmer. I was expecting Matt to come up for dinner and I needed to get an early start because we had a lot planned for the day. Abby , our Himalayan was going in to…
Moe’s Diner………….. Daily Special
Before heading off to work on Sunday I roasted two small chickens. Just so I could make hot chicken sandwiches for dinner. And you can’t have hot chicken sandwiches without homemade fries and of course canned peas. I know, I’m sorry, but canned peas are a tradition and ALWAYS served on the side with hot…
Fish and Chips
Saturday night’s dinner – Fresh Petrale Sole breaded with fresh bread crumbs seasoned with parmesan cheese and lemon zest. To add a little more flavour I also grated a garlic clove on a microplane and mixed the paste in with the egg dip. Served with oven roasted potato wedges and a sauce made with Hellman’s,…
Chicken Breasts Perigord
Dinner tonight was Chicken Breasts with a mushroom duxelle stuffed under the skin. This is an old standby recipe one that I haven’t made in a while. Perfect for a dinner party. The chicken can be stuffed earlier in the day and then roasted just in time for dinner. The duxelle flavour permeates the meat….
As Canadian as Apple Pie
If I had to rank pies in order of my favourite – rhubarb would be first with apple a very close second. I had been promising to make an apple pie all week and finally got around to putting one in the oven last night. Poor Moe, I wouldn’t let him have a slice…

Sunday Night Dinner
OMG I can’t begin to tell you how good dinner was. I roasted a little three pound sirloin tip roast. I’ve had prime ribs and tenderloins that were not as tender as this roast. I know, hard to believe, but it’s the truth. The roast was presalted the day before and left to air…
