I was getting together with friends on a trip to watch a football game. We had rented a house and we wanted to stay in for a meal. I needed something I could make at home, carry in the cooler and would be good reheated. I immediately thought of Spaghetti and Meatballs. They are always better the next day. Continue reading Spaghetti & Meatballs
You might have guessed from the number of rib posts I have that I love ribs. I had a friend coming up from Montana and if you are going to serve an American friend ribs, they better be classic. So, I made a rib classic, St Louis Ribs. Continue reading St Louis Ribs
OK, they haven’t made a commercial barbecue sauce that is good as my home made. However, that is unfair. When I make my barbecue sauce I have made it to meet my tastes. If I want it sweeter or spicier, I just add more of some ingredients. I am just going to like my own better. Continue reading Sweet Baby Ray’s Barbecue Sauce Product Review
Sometimes simple is best. I have had green bean casseroles, stir fries and beans in sauce. Nothing quite measures up to grilled green beans. The beans sweeten a bit as they char and the flavour intensifies. I decided to add a bit of heat and Berbere Green beans were born. Continue reading Berbere Green Beans

That crusty roll soaked in au jus and dripping down your arm just screams comfort food. So, I decided to make my chuck roast into Beef Chuck Dip. Continue reading Beef Chuck Dip
She Who Must Be Obeyed loves salmon. I do too but I find it very expensive. Apparently I am wrong and we can afford it. I stand corrected. Continue reading Dilled Salmon Steaks
I grow my own garlic. This comes with some blessings and a problem. Of course, you get a great tasting garlic with a firmness and texture that is vastly superior to the rubbery garlic sold in supermarkets. You also get tasty garlic scapes, the long stems in the centre of the garlic plant that are delicious in stir fries and pesto. The problem is you get a lot of garlic scapes if you grow enough garlic for a year like I do. Continue reading Garlic Scape Vinegar
