I had no idea what I wanted for dinner yesterday. So I asked Moe would he would like and he requested steak. Before leaving for work I pulled a big thick rib eye out of the freezer to defrost. This was one of the steaks from the whole rib roast I posted about back in…

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…
Diner Food
One of the local grocery stores had both Pork Tenderloin and Rump Roasts on special this week. Buy one get one free. The pork tenderloins were wrapped in packages of threes, by the butcher. Fresh pork, not package in a brine or solution. I bought two packages. Froze 5 of the tenderloins and kept one…
Definitely Carnivores
I still had a small Sirloin Tip roast in the freezer so it became our Tuesday night’s dinner. With simple sides of mashed potatoes and buttered peas. The roast took all of 30 minutes on high heat (500°F) to roast. Last night’s dinner was grilled pork chops seasoned with just salt, pepper and fresh garlic…
Hamburger and Fries
I picked up some ground sirloin on the way to work yesterday. Dinner didn’t take long to put together. Peeled and hand-cut the fries and got them soaking in cold water. Put the oil on to heat (350° for the first fry). While the oil was heating up I seasoned and formed the burgers. Seasoning…
Baked Ham Dinner
Hams were on sale this week so I picked up a nice big one. Butt end bone-in smoked ham. Nothing more simple to cook than a ham. Just put it in a roasting pan, cover tightly with foil and place in a 325°F oven for two to four hours depending on the size of the…
Baked Risotto meets Southern Fried Chicken
Baked Risotto is so easy and versatile. Mary recently shared the recipe for Baked Risotto on her beautiful blog Once Upon a Plate . I made a version of it last week using prawns. Tonight’s version was made with shallots and garlic along with the addition of sauted Crimini mushrooms and seasoned with fresh sage,butter…
Turkey Revisited
It was just last Monday (Canadian Thanksgiving) that we had a turkey dinner. But for some reason I was craving it again. So last night I roasted a whole turkey breast. It was just over six pounds so lots of leftovers for my favourite Hot Turkey Sandwiches. Besides the standards of dressing, mashed potatoes and…
Potato Gratin Recipe
This is a very rich dish and unlike many Scalloped Potato or Gratin recipes it does not contain flour. The gratin thickens from the starch in the potatoes which is released by first simmering the potatoes in the cream. Potato Gratin=============Edited March/2018 I don’t usually follow a recipe when making a Potato Gratin. Use the…
Traditional Hungarian Goulash
Hungarian Goulash is a favourite of my son Matthew. So when I knew he was going to come up for dinner this week that is what I decided to make. Along with the Goulash we had spaetzle, red cabbage and simmered green beans. Comfort food at its best. I made sure there were lots of…
