This is one of our favourite dinners. It is a very simple dinner, one that can be made quickly, even on work days. Chicken Souvlaki with Greek Salad and Rice Just cut boneless chicken breasts into cubes and thread on to skewers. Rub with minced garlic, sprinkle with oregano, salt and pepper and squeeze a…

Italian Roasted Chicken
I took a chicken out of the freezer for dinner tonight with the intentions of just roasting it. But Moe put in a request for Italian. This is actually a favourite of his and one I haven’t made for him in at least a year. Brings back fond memories of the New Marconi Ristorante Italiano…
Greek – Roast Chicken and Potatoes
Rather than a traditional roast chicken dinner I decided to go Greek. Lots of garlic, oregano and fresh squeezed lemon juice over the potatoes and the chicken. Roasted at 500°F. I love how the potatoes absorb all the wonderful flavours, especially the lemon.
Satisfying a Craving
I presalted a chicken on Friday with the intention of roasting it for dinner last night. But at work yesterday, I kept thinking about chicken and dumplings. I had a real craving for a bowl of comfort. I had also bought some bone in chicken breasts on Friday, so, when I got home from work…
Buttermilk Fried Chicken
This dinner was so simple that we were eating 45 minutes after I got home from work. More “diner food”. Buttermilk Fried Chicken, Onion rings, mashed potatoes with chicken gravy and peas.Cut two large boneless chicken breasts in strips and rub with fresh garlic. TIP: Rub a garlic clove on a microplane. Easiest way to…
The 60 Minute Meal………..
That is what Moe thinks I should call the traditional roast chicken dinner. Actually it takes 70 minutes if you let the bird rest for 20 minutes before slicing. Lots of time to bake a bread dressing, make gravy, mashed the potatoes and cook vegetables.
Chinese and Chocolate
The Ultimate Chocolate Cake Or maybe I should title this Chocolate and Chinese since Moe had two pieces of chocolate cake before dinner. Around 4:00 pm. I waited until after 7:30 to serve dinner so he would be hungry again. You can find the recipe for Anna Olson’s Ultimate Chocolate Cake here. I found a…
All Day in the Kitchen
And loving every minute of it. I spent almost all day in the kitchen today. Started out early this morning feeding my sourdough starter and making a biga. While that developed I kneaded up dough for a batch of bagels. The last batch of bagels came out of the oven at 11:00 am. Next ,…
Chicken Stew and Dumplings
I meant to post the recipe for the Southern Style Dumplings to go with Friday’s post. I actually have three different dumpling recipes that I use, depending on the mood. The Bread and Parsley Dumpling and the regular Drop “fluffy” dumpling are both good in Beef stews too. I grew up eating “Bisquick Dumplings” ….
Foodie Friday
I missed the first Foodie Friday, but I am happy to be participating in the second one. Thank you Michael for hosting Foodie Fridays at Designs by Gollum. Before leaving for work this morning I put a chicken stew on to simmer. All that need to be done when I got home was to make…
