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

Adult Ham Mac and Cheese
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
Scallop Fettuccine Alfredo
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? Continue reading Scallop Fettuccine Alfredo
Spaghetti & Meatballs
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
Pork Chop Parmigiana
I had been shovelling snow and was really tired. I could have picked up a burger, ordered a pizza or opened a can. Instead I made Pork Chops Parmigiana. This recipe is so easy, even I can do it. Continue reading Pork Chop Parmigiana

Miniball Spaghetti
We needed a quick meal and I hadn’t had spaghetti in a while so it was obviously time. This necessitated a choice. Marinara sauce and meatballs or meat sauce? Why not something in between? I made a nice marinara sauce and cooked small meatballs in the sauce. Welcome to Miniball Spaghetti. Continue reading Miniball Spaghetti
Easy Meat Sauce
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
Smoky Marinara 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
Beef Rotini Casserole
I’d just got home from curling. She Who Must Be Obeyed had hamburger out and told me I was making dinner. I decided on a nice hearty casserole to warm us up on a cold winter day. However, I didn’t feel like making a roux based cheese sauce and decided to use Campbell’s Condensed Mushroom Soup as a base. I also used the low sodium version. I like mushroom soup based casseroles but they just aren’t as rich as ones made with a sauce from scratch. I thought I could overcome that and made Beef Rotini Casserole.
