Who doesn’t like wings, sticky fingers and all! Get out the napkins. They make a great appy’s too! Don’t leave out the five-spice, it adds a delicious dimension to the chicken! If you prefer, you can use bone-in chicken thighs. Finger licking good! Makes Approximately 4 Servings 1/3 cup hoisin 1/3 cup freshly squeezed orange […]
In the mood for something with the flavour or curry? Then this salad is for you! We barbecued some chicken wings to have with it…delicious! And it would be a good thing to take to a barbecue! You can add cooked barbecued chicken or other proteins to make it a main course salad. Makes Approximately […]
An absolutely terrific sauce for Pannacotta or ice-cream or whatever else might come to mind! I think I’ll give it a try on waffles along with yogurt! You will need to use frozen pitted cherries, either your own or bought instead of fresh so as to get the juice needed. The sauce can be served […]
This is the sort of pasta we really appreciate on a hot day! The sauce is made a couple of hours ahead of time, covered and allow to stand to meld flavours. Great as a main course but It’s also a perfect first course (primo) followed by a main of barbecued leg of lamb, chicken […]
You have to make this! Such a refreshing salad for dinner or lunch on a warm day! It must be the cooling effects of the mint! To change things up, you could use Thai basil instead of the mint. This salad would go really well with Thai chicken wings, Asian barbecued ribs or Thai flavoured […]
When beans are in season, either your own home grown, or bought at your local farmer’s markets, it’s the perfect time to make this salad! A very tasty side dish! Dress the beans with the vinaigrette just before serving so the beans will retain their bright colour! Makes Approximately 6 Servings 1 ½ lbs. […]
Dill pickles are something we enjoy very much. We have been canning/preserving them every year for it seems like forever…and when you present a jar to friends, they are very happy! Cold, crisp and crunchy! We now get our organic dill cucumbers, dill weed and garlic from our local farmer’s market, we think the pickles […]
There is just something about pork in a coconut milk marinade! I like to serve the ribs with a rice noodle salad or a Chinese noodle salad. Begin preparing the ribs the day before. Makes 4 Servings 4 lbs. pork ribs, side or baby back, divided in half 1 cup tinned unsweetened coconut milk ½ […]
Our fantastic local, June strawberries are here at our farmer’s market, as is rhubarb! You know what they say, what grows together goes together. I just love the combination of strawberries with rhubarb, from jam to sauce for waffles or pancakes, to pie, crisp or cobbler! Then, of course, who wouldn’t want a stash of […]
Dinner on the patio and what a delicious way to enjoy a warm summer evening! Marinate the steak the day before, grill some onions and peppers, make a salad, warm up some corn tortillas and pass around the salsa. I used sirloin steak because it’s what I had on hand and grilled it for 4 […]
