Ham, Potatoes & Peppers
Around here, we call this the ‘I hate Greg Dinner’. He hates both ham and scalloped potatoes, therefore I never (well, never say never) make them! However, I had left overs, so I put this together and guess what? He loved it! Me too.. It’s a keeper, so is he! Black forest ham, diced or […]
Stuffed Yorkshire Pudding
This Leftover ‘STUFF’ is amazing!! I make sure there are leftovers so I can purposely make Stuffed Yorkshire Pudding! It’s better than the roast beef dinner from the night before. Using leftovers makes it fast and it’s a 100% sure win every time. The leftovers you’ll need are: Roast beef (slices, chunks, tidbits.. what ever […]
Beef Pie
I had left over prime rib (Right? Who has that!! We alway do because I mess it up and it tastes better as a pie the next day! I sautéed some onions and garlic, when they were tender, I added the beef, flour and butter paste, and one package of gravy mix with some stock. […]

Brockville Shepherd’s Pie
It’s time to clean out the fridge! Carrots, mushrooms and green beans, sauteed in butter until just tender, then diced. Brown beef, add anything you like.

Garlic Mozzarella Bread
This is amazing!! Fun to make and to eat! We dipped in brushetta. I didn’t use the lactose free cheese, just mozzarella. I also used more butter and added a bit of melted butter so it would spread. (No luck trying to spread ‘softened butter’. ) I likely added more garlic and used chives instead […]
White Chilli & Chips
This was a surprise! It’s strange to make chilli without it being red. It’s really good! I didn’t have all the ingredients as below, and only wanted enough for one meal for two people (okay really I only had 2 chicken breasts to use…) so I mixed things up a bit as follows. In dutch […]
Chicken Cordon Bleu in Puff Pastry
I love puff pastry!! This chicken was amazing, and juicy!! For the mustard I used a mixture (to taste) of mayo, yellow mustard and white sugar, seems weird but it was very good. I didn’t use all these spices, I just used salt and pepper. The amounts below seem excessive to me, and I like […]
