I made a Chicken Pie tonight. I used my regular chicken pot pie recipe but rather than top the pie with a single crust as the recipe calls for, I made a double crust pie. Tastes the same, only better – more buttery crust. This recipe is very versatile. You can top the pie with…

Prawn and Avocado Salad
We drove down to Victoria today to drop off at my son’s apartment some of the chocolate Easter eggs and the Perogies that I made last week. We had a wonderful Dim Sum lunch in Chinatown and ate way too much. Rather than make a big dinner I made Moe the salad that he requested…
Maple Cream Fudge
I’ve added a few new photos to the side bar and over the next day or two I’ll add recipes to go with the photos. Thought I would start with a recipe to go with the Maple Cream Fudge. Another family favourite. I don’t use a candy thermometer when I make fudge. I just do…
Traditional Roast Chicken Dinner or…………..
……..a condemned man’s last meal. This is the dinner that Moe said he would request if he knew it would be his last meal. Roast Chicken, Mashed potatoes, Stuffing/dressing Rutabaga and buttered peas. The chicken was presalted using Judy Roger’s Zuni Cafe Method. And roasted using Barbara Kafka’s High Heat method. Just preheat the oven…
Easy Dessert
Blackberry Turnovers I still had half a package of puff pastry leftover from last night – so I made Blackberry turnovers. No recipe. Took some blackberries out of the freezer, mixed with a little sugar and cornstarch. Spooned on to the dough, topped with 1/2 teaspoon butter, brushed edges with egg wash, folded the dough…
Escargot under Puff Pastry
I had absolutely nothing planned for dinner. I never even thought about it until I was on my way home from work. Lucky for me, Moe is very easy and is happy with just about anything I want to serve him. Yesterday when I went to pick up a few groceries I bought a package…
Sourdough Rye Bread
Yesterday was quite a productive day. I started off very early morning, before 6:00 am, feeding my sourdough starters. Baked Buttermilk Biscuits to go with the sausage gravy for breakfast. Made a double batch of Monique’s Chocolate covered Easter Eggs. The starter was really active and doubled by early afternoon so I used some of…
Easter Ham Dinner
Served early. On Friday. I had Friday off work so I decided to bake our ham on Good Friday instead of Easter Sunday. I’m a purist when it comes to ham. I don’t like glazes of any kind. Usually I buy a bone in ham, but this one was a boneless one from my favourite…
Easter – Homemade Chocolate Cream Filled Eggs
I made Monique’s Chocolate Cream Filled Eggs yesterday. Please check out Monique’s blog La Table De Nana for the recipe. And while you are there spend a little time looking around. You won’t find a more beautiful blog. The recipe calls for 1/2 a can of Condensed Milk. And what was I going to do…
Sausage Gravy with Buttermilk Biscuits
Another “Diner” meal. Southern Style! I love biscuits and sausage gravy and have eaten it often for breakfast in restaurants throughout the US. But it isn’t something that you will find on a menu in Canada. So when I get a craving for it I have to make it myself. Basic Outline. Again, I don’t…
