Properly cooked pork chops should be wonderfully tender and juicy. This is one of those easy methods to keep up your sleeve, especially after coming home from work and having to come up with something quickly for dinner! Faster than ordering in a pizza! Makes 4 Servings (4) 1 ¼” thick, bone in pork chops […]
The combination of potatoes and celery root is scrumptious! And adding a little horseradish really adds zing to the mixture! It’s kind of like a little black dress, it goes with everything from roast beef, pork or veal to poultry. If you are wondering why the potatoes look a little pink in the photo, it’s […]
A favourite old fashioned dessert but just as good as it always was! Anne gave me this recipe ages ago, who knows where it comes from. I got to use our own apples to make it! Great with ice-cream! Makes 4 – 6 Servings For The Crisp: 4 apples, peeled, cored & sliced ¼” thick […]
I’ve made this “glowing,” delicate tasting soup for years. It would be a lovely first course or served as a main course with some bread or biscuits and cheeses or whatever else takes your fancy! And, bonus, it freezes well and makes a bowl of sunshine to enjoy on a dreary day. Makes Approximately 6 […]
CHANTERELLES means it’s definitely Fall! After discovering the most amazing chanterelles at Trout Lake Farmer’s Market recently, there was no question what we would do with them. It’s sort of like when you come across fresh porcini or fresh truffles; simple is best! I really do recommend making your own pasta, it’s so much more […]
I’ve been making these forever and they remain high on my list of really tasty ribs. There’s nothing like good ribs despite the sticky fingers! Can there ever be too many delicious recipes for ribs? We sure don’t think so! I often precook ribs for a short while before finishing them on the Weber over […]
Bring on the burgers! A bit of the mayo is mixed into the turkey adding moisture and lots of great flavour! I don’t know about you but I love grilled onions and peppers on a burger! Makes 3 or 4 Burgers ½ tsp. cumin seeds ½ tsp. coriander seeds ½ cup mayo. 2 Tbsp. EVOO […]
Childhood memories of crusty, bubbly and golden mac ‘n cheese but with tomatoes…what’s not to love now that we are all grown up! Because I adore tomatoes, this is right up my alley and I hope yours too! I like to make this with tomatoes that are available locally right up to the early fall; […]
I really do like to make my own spice mixes. I find them to be so fresh and so much nicer to use than purchased spice mixes. There are many combinations of spices from different regions of India but I have found this one to my liking. Store any leftovers in an airtight container. Try […]
A very simple, but very flavourful way to serve lamb; the chutney is a must! You could serve with grilled naan and a cooling Indian Tomato and Cucumber Salad. Making kebabs using lamb sirloin would also be wonderful! Makes 2 – 3 Servings Make the Lamb: 6 double loin lamb chops or rib chops 2 […]
