I love stroganoff but It can be rather messy to make. I made it easier by using ground beef and cooking the noodles in the same pot as the stroganoff. Fortunately, it still has the great creamy texture and rich flavour of the old fashioned method. Continue reading One Pot Stroganoff
How many times have you had meatballs that had the texture of a lacrosse ball, dry and rubbery. Add to that they are usually balls of beef with all the taste of fast food hamburger patties. Continue reading Sausage Spaghetti
I like mac and cheese. A lot. However, that usually means something in a box to most people. I have nothing against the boxed version but it mostly hooks you in with a lot of salt. Continue reading Adult Ham Mac and Cheese
For my Community TV show at Shaw East Kooteny, they wanted me to do dishes for Valentines Day in December so they could be ready to show in January. So my clock was messed up but being married to She Who Must Be Obeyed means I always feel lucky in romance. The first dish that came to mind was Scallop Fettuccine Alfredo because the woman I love likes scallops and a creamy pasta dish is sensual and sexy. How can you tell I love food?

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.

The Old Fat Guy

I made a nice marinara sauce and cooked small meatballs in the sauce. Welcome to Miniball Spaghetti. Continue reading Miniball Spaghetti
You’ll note there wasn’t any posts for awhile. I have been ill with a terrible cold that has lasted for 10 days and isn’t completely gone. I was not totally idle. In the last couple of days, my brother and his wife came to visit for a couple of days so I had to do some cooking. It was all on the easy side. Continue reading Easy Meat Sauce
I have posted my Marinara Sauce recipe previously. I really like it but I am addicted to trying to make something a little better every time I make it. Sometimes it is “interesting” and some time it works. This time I decided to try adding some bacon to my Marinara Sauce. Continue reading Smoky Marinara Sauce
