Chicken and Prawn Paella Platted This morning before leaving for work, I gave some thought to what we would have for dinner. I still had some spotted prawns in the freezer that I could do something with. I just wasn’t sure what. Then I got the brilliant idea of making a Paella. I had almost…

Tex-Mex – Act II
I don’t like leftovers. Or maybe I should clarify that. I like very few leftovers. But this is one of the few meals that I make out of “deliberate” leftovers. The beans, pork, salsa all end up in what I call “Mexican Layered Supreme”. Guacamole does not keep, so I made a fresh batch. Rather…
Tex-Mex
Pork Carnitas Roasted Tomato Salsa Guacamole Mexican was on the menu here tonight. Pork Carnitas in homemade corn tortillas and served with pinto beans and guacamole. Washed down with Sangria. The pinto beans were put on to simmer in the morning. The beans had been soaked overnight. And I roasted tomatoes on the grill for…
Wings
Wings were on the menu last night. I love wings. Usually I serve them with homemade fries or onion rings. But last night we just ate wings. Not a very healthy food day, between Hello Dolly squares and wings. I seasoned the wings earlier in the day with fresh garlic, cayenne pepper, hot red pepper…
Retro Dessert
Well, hello, Dolly, Its so nice to have you back where you belong………………….I don’t think I have made these in over 20 years. I forgot how good they are. What I really love about them is how the condensed milk drizzles down between the coconut and the chocolate. Very simple to make. TIP: Many recipes…
Pasta in a Sausage, Tomato and Cream Sauce
This is another very quick dinner to put together. Lori of All that Splatters shared this recipe with me a few years ago and it quickly became a favourite. TIP: I like to slice the sausage rather than crumble it. I parboil the sausage for a couple of minutes. Just long enough to firm them…
Cheddar and Onion Bagels

Roasted Rack of Pork
I prepped a rack of pork before leaving for work this morning. Bought at my favourite local butcher,the roast was a little 4 bone rack with the rind. I absolutely love “cracklins” I rubbed the rack with a mixture of fresh garlic, sage, salt and pepper. It was Moe’s job to take it out of…
Best Oatmeal Cookies
I’m at the store today so I have no idea what dinner will be. So I thought I would share the cookies I baked this morning on Foodie Friday. Thanks again to Designs by Gollum for hosting Foodie Fridays. I promised Moe last night I would make a batch of his favourite cookies today. So…
