This mysterious recipe (because I have no idea where I got it from) has been serving me well over the past 20 years. It’s the perfect quick and simple dish when you are short on time and short on ingredients (there are only a few). And the kids gobble it up too. I’ve passed it…
My friend Sandra brought a tray of these treats over to my place earlier this year. When she passed along the recipe to me, I could not believe how easy they were to put together. I’ve made them several times and they are always a hit. Enjoy. Ingredients: 1 c. butter, softened 1/2 c. white…
Flipping through my very first recipe book – painstakingly compiled during my engagement – back when I was young and eager to prove myself a home cook worth her salt – I found this gem. In my notes, I had written “awesome!” so I figured I may as well give it another go. I’m happy…
Another recipe from unknown origins – that caught my eye and which I copied out into one of my hand-written recipe books. This one takes a bit of time to prep – but is so worth it. I double the recipe and then have enough patties for another day. Enjoy. Ingredients: 1 1/2 lb. ground…
I make this one every so often – it’s a quick and easy one that the kids like. I have no idea where it came from – but I’m glad I found it. Enjoy. Ingredients: 4-6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves 2 T butter 1 can cream of chicken soup 1/4 c. water 2 t.…
If you’re looking for an easy, weeknight meal – quick to throw together and sure to be devoured – yet not so run-of-the-mill. Then take note. This rich, creamy and delicious meal took 20 minutes to make and about five minutes for the kids to lick their respective plates clean. Enjoy. Ingredients: 500g angel hair…
Now that summer’s upon us, so are light, fresh and easy suppers. I found this steak recipe years ago, God knows where, and had hand-written it into one of my tattered recipe books. The kale recipe was in the Toronto Star a couple of days ago. This healthy and easy dish literally took about 15…
Another great recipe – and I haven’t a clue as to where it originates. I hand wrote it in a notebook almost 20 years ago and decided to make it for the family this past week. There’s a bit of prep work involved (chopping and slicing) – but other than that, this one came together…
More fish and rice plucked from the pages of the Toronto Star – this time from an April 2019 edition. This meal was light and fresh and in my opinion perfect summer (or spring) fare. While the kids grumbled (“Fish again?“; “You know the only fish I like is salmon“; “What’s with all the rice?”),…
I found this one in the Toronto Star – and for the most part it’s a quick one to put together. Removing the skin from the chicken drum sticks took a bit of time (I used a paper towel to wrench the skin down and over the bone) and peeling the heads of garlic took…
