Halibut coated with a Parmesan Crust

Another favourite tonight Lori’s (Hoopysmom) Parmesan Crusted Halibut. This is delicious. Note that the recipe calls for Panko, but I much prefer using fresh made bread crumbs. I think that the flavour is better and makes for a wonderful crispy coating.

Sourdough Bagels

It has been a while since I made Bagels. I’d forgotten how much Moe liked them. He had his first two when the first batch came out of the oven. And two more toasted from the third batch. Morning snack. Good thing Matthew isn’t home or there would be none for the freezer. Home Cookin…

I made Meatballs using ground chicken breasts, fresh spinach, garlic, onion, fresh bread crumbs, a little of my frozen pesto sauce, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper and an egg. I…

Glazed Lemon Loaf with Rum

I’m in the mood for Chocolate

Maybe you are too? I love brownies and my favourite are these Decadent Brownies. You can serve them a variety of ways. Glazed with caramel  White Chocolate  or a ganache,  or dusted with powdered sugar. But my favourite way to have them is plain.

Recipe for Dumplings Beef Stew and Dumplings One of those meals that you don’t really need a recipe to make. I change mine up a bit every time I make it. And even though I don’t like carrots I do add them but I pick them all out and put them in Moe’s bowl. Home…
