Fried Chicken Tenders & Panko
Yum yum yum, best fried chicken I’ve had!! We’ve dubbed Friday’s around here as Fried Food Friday and tonight these chicken tenders and fried dill pickles started what I hope is a long tradition of great food. Yes it’s fried!! But once a week?? Come on… you have six days to jog, go to the […]
Fried Dill Pickles
Okay, I’ve heard of them… had them once at Harvey’s at Shannyn’s insistence, (one of the few times we all went to eat in Lethbridge). I know… not the fanciest of restaurants, but at least we were together! The ranch dip was my favourite part of them, which is why I made it again for […]
Beef Brisket in Brine
I’ve never made a brisket, never made a brine either, and I didn’t follow this recipe exactly either because I didn’t have things like star anise, and I couldn’t find my cloves and cinnamon sticks (though I’m proud to say I have them!) I winged it. Used the ground spices I had. I added some […]
Pepperoni Pizza
This is the same recipe for crust and pizza toppings for Baxcana’s Supreme, but this time I layered it differently! I hardly had any cheese and discovered I really didn’t need 16 tons of cheese on a pizza. I made due with what I had, so this one is missing salami (I REALLY missed that!) […]
Deep Fried Chicken
Yes, you read that right! We now have a deep fryer! We’ve spent all our years trying to eat healthy… and well, we’ll still eat healthy, but who doesn’t want to try to make donuts?? Fried Apple Pie?? I DO! Let’s live it up a bit and do some deep frying. Starting with chicken. This […]
Hamburgers & Fries
Cooking meat in cast iron… From what I’ve been learning, you want a hot pan, not oiled, and cold meat! I tried it and it works! To heat up your pan, put it on 1.5 – 2 for 5 minutes then up the temperature to around 3 for 5 more minutes. Hover your hand over […]
Chinese Food
It’s a shame Greg has a cold, this was REALLY tasty! ****TIP**** Frying hamburger or anything in cast iron for that matter has it challenges, so be good to your pan, and to yourself, and start out by heating your skillet! Put it on about 1-2 for five minutes, then up to 2.5 to 3 […]
Chicken Pie with All Butter Crust
This Chicken Pie is the ‘I can’t believe I made this chicken pie, pie!! It’s great for left overs, and if you have a pre-cooked chicken from the grocery store, use that and save some time! They have so much flavour. I used that and left over milk chicken from the Christmas dinner. Beautiful flavour […]
Eggrolls & Szechuan Noodles
What? I can’t believe I made egg rolls!! Trying new things is always fun… they turned out pretty darn good! We ate em up! The noodles need work, so here is the recipe I’ll try next time. These ones were good, but very hot and spicy. I’d rather have them with nuts! (I’d still add […]
Philly Mini Meatballs
Running out of ideas for hamburger?? I had no idea what to make with more hamburger! (Great grandma and I found a sale and went a bit overboard… ) This came together nice and fast and tastes really good! It made a lot of meatballs. They all got cooked and one batch went to this […]
Almost Korean Beef
Fast, easy & Different! This has a nice unique taste, so you keep putting it in your mouth… saying how good it is, and repeating this process over and over again, identifying all the different tastes that blend so well together. We had left overs, the next day Greg thought it would be good if […]
7-UP Biscuits & Chilli
Sour Cream & 7-up in a biscuit… Who knew!! If you want fluffy and moist biscuits to go along side almost anything you make, try these. If nothing else, they will be a topic for conversation at the table.
Great Grandmas Pokey Chicken
A Delicious way to end the day! Put it on in the morning and let the slow cooker do the rest! What could be easier!
Roast Turkey
I used to cover a turkey in the roaster. Not anymore! I’d add about an inch of water, put the turkey in, put the lid on and it came out ‘steamed’ every time. Yes it was great and the pan drippings made amazing gravy, but this time I thought I’d truly try to roast it. […]
Yorkshire Pudding
Yorkshire Pudding is really fail-proof! I’ve made it before in muffin tins, and it was always a nightmare! Oiling the individual muffin tins… getting it smoking hot, only to have the pan cool off before I was done adding the mixture AND the fact it never made enough to fill 12 muffins. This way is […]
Buttermilk Fried Chicken Tenders
Butter Fingers!! If you haven’t marinated your chicken in buttermilk before, you might want to start!! Tender, juicy chicken is what you’re going to get in return for minimal effort! Keep Buttermilk in your fridge just like a staple of anything else you buy weekly. Buttermilk biscuits would have been very good here, but time […]
Bangers & Co.
Yes, I’ve done this before, but, this is better… Why? Because I didn’t slice the sausages, that let all the juice out and this time I let them rest, covered in tin foil to get all the flavour! 30 minutes from start to table. The best part about cast iron cooking is serving in the […]
Sausage Skillet
Simple – FAST – Delicious! Add a can of baked brown beans and you have a great meal when your day goes sideways and you need something fast, yet looks like it took more effort than it really does! Tip: Turn your burner on low to medium to heat up the pan. Don’t put oil […]
Baked Chicken Breasts
Mayonnaise & Parmesan Cheese Chicken Breasts They will ask what it is between mouthfuls, but don’t tell them! They’ll wrinkle up their nose and say REALLY? Yes! Really, and they are juicy, tender and downright delicious. Try them! Someone told me about them a long time ago. I thought it sounded gross but was desperate […]
Biscuits & Balls
The name may be controversial, but it got you to this page! … and once you make these cheesy, tender meatballs, you’ll be glad curiosity got the best of you! WARNING: This dish is not good for your waistline! I normally make meatballs in big batches, then freeze 10 or so to each large freezer […]
