Dinner tonight was Spicy Chicken Cakes. One of those dishes that Moe and I both like but I haven’t made them in a while. Linda (Doucanoe) shared this recipe on the Gardenweb’s Cooking Forum a few years ago. The original recipe calls for a Horseradish Aioli. As much as I love horseradish, I find…

Angel Hair Pasta with Lobster
I didn’t get nearly as much done as I had wanted on my days off this week. It snowed Monday and Tuesday wasn’t much better. So that left Wednesday. It was only raining so I headed down to Victoria to finish up my Christmas shopping. On the way home I stopped at the market thinking…
Weekly Bread Post
This bread makes the best toast. I kneaded up a large batch of bread dough on Tuesday morning. Baked four baguettes on Wednesday and saved half the dough to make pizza and two more loaves of bread Thursday night. Moe took the dough of the fridge an hour or so before I got home…
Garlic Prawns over Pasta
Last spring I froze a number of containers of our local spotted prawns. Beheaded but tails left on and frozen in water. This is the best way to freeze prawns or shrimp if you want them to retain their fresh caught flavour and texture. I still had two containers of local spotted prawns in the…

Since most doughs are just flour, yeast, water and salt, you can pretty much use your favourite bread recipe to make pizza. Lately it seems I…
Chicken Piccata with a side of Pasta
This has to be one of the quickest and easiest dinners to put together. On the table in less than 30 minutes. I defrosted boneless chicken breasts to cook Friday but by the time I got home from work I wasn’t in the mood so I made a pot of Potato Leek soup instead. That…
Homemade Pasta
Before leaving for work this morning I used the food processor to knead up a batch of pasta dough. The dough went into the fridge to rest for the day and about 4:00 PM I called Moe and had him take it out so that it could come to room temperature and be ready to…
