This is probably my most repeated dinner. Moe had actually been asking for a Roast Chicken dinner since about two days after our Christmas turkey dinner. I finally caved. Should have made it sooner. I really could eat this meal once every 10 days. How boring is that????? Sides were the must-have mashed potatoes and…

Leftover Christmas Turkey
Christmas Turkey There were five of us for Christmas dinner. Moe, Matt and I and our neighbour Clif and his son Chris. I roasted an 18 pound turkey(pre-salted and roasted at 500°F) so there was lots leftover. The turkey was cooked in less than 2 1/2 hours. While cleaning up after dinner I cut up…
Spicy Chicken Cakes
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…
Spicy Asian Chicken
I called Moe from work on Friday and asked him to take some boneless chicken breasts out of the freezer. I wasn’t sure what I was going to make with them but was leaning towards Italian or Chinese. Chinese won out. Something quick and simple. I used Ken Hom’s marinade for his Classic Lemon Chicken,…
Satisfying a Craving

Tonight’s version was made with shallots and garlic along with the addition of sauted Crimini mushrooms and seasoned with fresh sage,butter…
Turkey Revisited
It was just last Monday (Canadian Thanksgiving) that we had a turkey dinner. But for some reason I was craving it again. So last night I roasted a whole turkey breast. It was just over six pounds so lots of leftovers for my favourite Hot Turkey Sandwiches. Besides the standards of dressing, mashed potatoes and…
Simple Dinners
Serve with a quick sauce made from Franks Hot sauce and butter. Most weeks I work Thursday to Sunday so some weeks dinners are quick and easy. Friday night we had a feast of wings. Spicy oven baked wings with a hot dipping sauce. I love wings and have two favourite ways of preparing them. …
