Milk Chicken ~ Jamie Oliver
Merry Christmas 2018. Mom, Greg and I enjoyed Milk Chicken, mashed potatoes and baked carrots and green beans. The only thing that would have made it better would have been to have everyone here!! We miss you all!! Rub chicken with olive oil and salt and pepper. Melt 1/4 cup butter in a dutch oven […]
Baxter’s Apple Pie
I’m claiming this pie recipe, it’s not mine.. but I did scour the internet for it (https://www.jordanwinery.com/culinary/recipes/wine-country-flaky-apple-pie) and it came out of the oven looking pretty good if I do say so myself!! Tomorrow is the taste test with Great Grandma for our Christmas Eve desert! Pie Dough 3 cups all purpose flour 8 ounces […]
The Rus’s Shortbread
1. This recipe works best if you beat the dough with electric beaters. If you have a stand mixer, set it aside for this recipe. 2. Make sure the cookie dough is cold before you put it in the oven. If your house is quite warm, put the cookie dough in the fridge to chill it […]
Scott’s Yorkshire Pudding
Thanks Scott for the perfect Yorkshire Pudding recipe!! This is really a never fail measurement for me… seems eggs are always a different size, I do 1 cup of eggs, today it was 5 small eggs, 1 cup of milk and 1 cup of all purpose flour. I mix it up but don’t over mix […]

Chicken Dinner in a Skillet
Super fast to make if you’re in a hurry! I didn’t have time to put the chicken in the oven, but you sure could. I boiled three breasts in chicken stock for about 25 minutes, removed from heat and cubed after they cooled a bit. While they were simmering, I sautéed onions, carrots, celery and […]

Sausage Rolls with Puff Pastry
I love sausage rolls. I remember trying to pass them up at delis and bakeries. I was never very successful. I’d eat them warm, cold, however…. and however you eat these it won’t matter either, just eat em up and enjoy. I made a dipping sauce out of sour cream, dijon mustard, mayo, garlic powder […]

Lasagna with Béchamel Sauce & Homemade Noodles
Making the pasta and lasagna sheets was so much fun. As usual, I didn’t read the instructions for everything that had to be done, so when I made the dough, and read about making the sheets, I kicked myself for always reading things too the last minute. I felt a bit unprepared but it all […]
French Onion Soup via Julia Child
It’s well worth making, a labour of love for a bowl of soup, but everyone should try this bowl full of love at least once. This is amazing soup! Restaurant quality in fact.. I said it smells like a French Restaurant in here, Greg said it smells like home.. I’ll take that!! Ingredients 2 quarts […]
Homemade Cream Sauce
This cream sauce is very good. It’s very good without the cream too. Add to pasta, use for lasagna… we used it for Pasta with Cream Sauce with Sausage. 3 mild Italian Costco sausages. Squeeze the meat out of the casings so they are tiny ball shapes, put on parchment paper and into the oven at […]
Pasta with Cream Sauce & Sausage
This is a dangerous meal if you’re trying to behave yourself! Combining the fresh homemade pasta and the cream sauce, this is how you put it together. Have the pot of boiling SALTED water, at the back of the stove, have your frying pan ready on the front burner, add butter to it so it’s […]
Homemade Pasta
Greg and I ate EVERYTHING. Embarrassing yes, there was enough there to feed 4 people, but hey, it was excellent if I do say so myself! I didn’t roll it as thin as I could have, but we actually liked it a bit thicker. It took exactly 4 minutes to cook, before transferring to the […]
Sweet ‘N Sticky Chicken Drumsticks
These are really good! I’m not a fan of drumsticks, but grandma won them at meat bingo, so we gave them a go! Next time I’ll roast them for you mom!! I’m a new leg fan! This sauce is excellent! Would be good for wings and thighs too. 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar (Costco Brand is […]
