Ravioli & Fire Roasted Peppers with Tomatoes
So good!!! Colourful, full of flavour and fast to make… though I wonder how I managed to make so many dishes and why is my stove top always getting so spattered with oil! Use your favourite fresh ravioli, bring some salted water on to a boil. In a skillet, add some olive oil and the […]
Dutch Oven Drop Chicken
Here is a fast, delicious way to roast your chicken by the Facebook cast iron cooking group originator Eric Walker!! You need a dutch oven or a chicken fryer, which is what I used here, it’s a BSR, and one of my favourite users. I make pretty much anything in it, even sourdough bread. For […]

Rock Cornish Game Hens
Absolutely I would do this again!! I used to make them, and tried to make stuffing etc, that never really worked out. I haven’t thought of them in years. I saw someone posted on the Cast Iron Cooking group, so I decided to pick some up and try them again. I like them better than […]
Bacon Wrapped Chicken Breasts
How easy is this??? Next time I won’t use thick bacon, I had to cook it more after the fact, or you could precook it a bit too… that’s a better idea. Slice the chicken in half. Salt and pepper both sides. Stuff it with cream cheese and a slice of swiss cheese. I used […]
Debbie’s Stuffed Queso Chicken Breasts
Debbie Daniels from the Cast Iron Cooking group posted this recipe. I have to say, it looks good at every stage! Split the chicken but not all the way through, pound so it’s a bit flatter. Season with salt and pepper. (I was late getting started so wanted it to cook faster.) BTW it only […]
Swiss Steak with Tomato Gravy
Sounds weird, but wow, is it ever good!! You can use any steak you like… it doesn’t have to be a ‘good’ cut as you’ll simmer it for so long it will just fall apart in your mouth! Slice and fry as many onions as you like in part olive oil, part butter. I added […]
Chinese Fried Rice
Dice cooked chicken and let soak in your favourite stir fry or teriyaki sauce. In your WOK (my new favourite thing.. makes an amazing omelet!!) add a bit of sesame oil, fry thin sliced bits of onion. Crush 3 cloves of garlic (yes Sarah, that is VERY satisfying!) into it, mix around for a few […]

Meatballs ~ Grape Jelly & Chilli Sauce
I started by using over a cup of sourdough bread, torn and soaked in cream (just enough to get it all absorbed). Use a fork to break it down. I used 2 packages of lean ground beef and one package of lean ground pork. I spread it out on a cookie sheet to mix together. […]

Spicy Lasagna
We really loved this lasagna, it has a bit of a kick to it… From a few red pepper flakes and Montery Jack cheese as the main cheese. I actually think I prefer it. Loads of flavour! Using the pasta sheets saved time! Use any Bolognese sauce you like. I used one but found it […]

Reverse Seared Steak
