My first year anniversary came and went last week.(January 5th) Hard to believe that a whole year of blogging has gone by so quickly. I guess it is true what they say, time really does fly when you are having fun. Along with starting year two with the Saturday Blog Showcase, I have also created…

First Roast Chicken Dinner of 2010
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…
Homemade Fudge
I made a double batch of Walnut and White Chocolate Fudge. Most of the fudge got boxed up to send to family back east. But I did keep out a few pieces for Moe and I. Walnut and White Chocolate Fudge ================= 1 cup white sugar 1 cup brown sugar 1 cup cream – heavy/whipping…
Warm Gingerbread Cake with Caramel Sauce
Last nights dessert was a last minute decision. I wasn’t going to bother making a dessert but I knew my two guests would be disappointed. Soooooo I baked a Gingerbread Cake. This cake is rich, moist and and delicious and can be served with either a lemon sauce or caramel sauce. I like both sauces…
Braised Lamb Shanks
Two of our neighbours joined us for our first dinner of the New Year. More often than not I bake a ham for New Years day dinner. But this year I decided to go with lamb. I have this wonderful recipe for a lamb ragout that uses boneless lamb cut into cubes. I’ve made this…
First Breakfast of the New Year
What better way to start 2010 than with a late breakfast. We were up early and had coffee, but I waited until 10:30 before cooking breakfast. This way I can get away with only cooking two meals today. Spanish Tortilla baked in a vintage Griswold Cast Iron Skillet Served with English style bacon and toasted…
Peppercorn Steak
Dinner last night. Peppercorn Steak with a cream sauce seasoned with blue cheese. This is another one of those quick to put together dinners. New York Strip steaks, well trimmed and presalted for at least a couple of hours. Rubbed with fresh garlic and coated in crushed peppercorns. I used a mix of green, black…

Scallion Pancakes
I’ve been thinking of making Scallion Pancakes ever since I first saw them on Foodgawker and Tastespotting. Tonight was the night. I decided to use the recipe from Big, Bold, and Beautiful because her pancakes looked the best. And they didn’t disappoint. They were flaky and delicious. I mixed up my own dipping sauce…
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…
