For a printer friendly version of this recipe, click here. I love a really good veal stew. We buy a veal freezer pack of non-milk-fed veal from Columbus Meats** every year which includes different cuts from scaloppine to veal ribs, stew meat, shanks and ground veal. I always like to dream up different ways to cook […]
Fall Harvest
Dynamite Chinese Chicken Thighs
For a printer friendly version of this recipe, click here. My husband gives these his “two thumbs up.” You can absolutely substitute approximately 2 lbs. of chicken wings. The chicken can be cooked in the oven on a rack, or are perfect for the barbecue, just make sure when you barbecue them to use the […]
Ragu Bolognese
I previously posted a recipe for the “official” sauce from Bologna. This version has the same basics but with the addition of beef stock and red wine. Some recipes use beef, pork and veal but I think the pancetta covers the pork part! Marcella Hazan’s recipe uses a little EVOO and butter, all beef, no pancetta, […]
Turkey Gumbo Soup
For a printer friendly version of this recipe, click here Guess what I found while rummaging around in my freezer? You guessed it, the carcass from the roast turkey! Some people don’t like okra; I don’t happen to be one of them! If you don’t have a turkey carcass, simply buy turkey drumsticks and wings and […]
Mushroom Crostini

If you like, you could change things up a bit by adding a few dried Porcini that have been soaked, drained and chopped or substitute some fresh […]
Clementine, Goat Cheese And Walnut Salad

Rosemary “Yorkshire” Puddings
Of course, fabulous to serve alongside a delicious prime rib roast of beef; although I have been known to make them to have with beef stew made with red wine. Rosemary just goes so well with beef! The puddings are crisp on the outside, soft inside and stay puffy! Preheat the oven to 350 F […]
Toasted Hazelnut Salad With Dried Cranberries
For a printer friendly version of this recipe, click here. An utterly fabulous salad! This is a recipe I like play around with and all are wonderful, especially the one with duck cracklings, croutons, Gorgonzola and changing out dried sour cherries for the cranberries in the dressing! The key is the dressing! Don’t fret if […]
Pasta With Spicy Beef Tomato Sauce
A pasta dish with the Greek flavours of cinnamon, cloves and cayenne. These spices remind me of the first spaghetti dish I absolutely fell in love that got me started down the path to pasta addiction! The pasta is simple to make and mouthwatering to eat! Garlic could be added to the sauce…I sometimes do! […]
My Go To Quiche
For a printer friendly version of this recipe, click here. The very first time I made quiche was probably in the 1970’s! I had invited a bunch of my “girlfriends” over for Sunday brunch and wanted to make them something none of us had ever had before. I stumbled upon a recipe for “Quiche Lorraine” […]
