Baked Chicken With Herbs
This chicken dish is quick and easy to prepare, and while it’s in the oven you can get the rest of the meal ready. We like it with Basmati rice and broccoli, but you can serve it with your favourite side dishes. Baked Chicken With Herbs 2 tbsp lemon juice 1 tsp vegetable oil 1/2 [...]
Spicy Pork Chops and Cabbage
I found this recipe in the November 2009 issue of Real Simple magazine, and talked The Chef into making it last night. He has bad memories of boiled cabbage, from sometime in his childhood, but agreed to try it anyway. The recipe was easy to make, and The Chef added a couple of touches of [...]
Greek Lamb With Orzo
I adapted this recipe from a Betty Crocker Casseroles and One Dish Meals booklet. It’s nice and easy, and something a little different than the standard beef casserole. If you don’t like lamb, you could substitute ground beef. Greek Lamb and Orzo 1 lb ground lamb 2 cans (16 oz) diced tomatoes 1 medium stalk [...]
Fusilli With Tomato Bean Sauce
We haven’t had this meat-free pasta for a long time, but it’s delicious, and perfect for supper on a cool fall night. The recipe is adapted from Quickies 2, which is packed with easy, tasty meal ideas. Serve a nice tossed salad on the side, and it’s a great supper. Fusilli With Tomato and Beans [...]
Acorn Squash With Ginger
Acorn squash isn’t my favourite vegetable, but we’ve got a few in the garden this year, and it looks like they’re almost ready to eat. The Chef likes them, so maybe he’ll try this recipe — it looks pretty good, as far as acorn squash recipes go. The recipe is from the Canadian cookbook, Quickies: [...]
Braised Halibut With Spinach
Last weekend, I bought The G.I. Diet Menopause Clinic, by Canadian author, Rick Gallop. It’s similar to others in his G.I. Diet series, with easy to follow meal plans and recipes. The chef made several of the recipes from Week 1, and we’ve enjoyed them (some a bit more than others). He adapted a few [...]
Pasta Cabonara With Mushrooms
The chef made a fabulous pasta this week, which was absolutely delicious. We both rated it as one of the best things he’s ever cooked, and plan to have it again! Here’s the recipe, which the chef concocted from a mixture of other recipes. There’s a picture of the finished dish at the bottom of [...]
Grilled Rack of Lamb
Last week the chef made a lovely grilled rack of lamb, and he finally scribbled down the recipe so I could post it here. And when he says to watch carefully, please take his advice! The chef turned his back on our dinner for about 5 minutes, and we almost lost it! Suddenly, it was [...]
Cabbage and Carrot Slaw
Tossed salad is good, but it’s nice to have something different occasionally. We enjoy this salad, and use a bag of cole slaw mix, so it’s easy to make. If you’d rather not use the mix, you could use 2 cups of thinly sliced cabbage and 1 cup of carrot strips. Cabbage and Carrot Slaw [...]
Skillet Beef and Macaroni
Here’s a quick and easy ground beef recipe. You could throw in a handful of shredded carrots or shredded zucchini too, or serve with a salad on the side, to round out the meal. Skillet Beef and Macaroni 8 oz uncooked macaroni or other gluten free pasta 1/2 lb lean ground beef 1/2 cup diced [...]
