Oven Baked Mushroom Rice

The kids never really liked mushrooms, but now that they’ve moved out, we can add them to all kinds of dishes. This recipe is from The 250 Best 4-Ingredient Recipes, by Margaret Howard, and it’s really tasty, and easy to make. This was the first oven baked rice recipe that we tried, about 5 years [...]

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 [...]

Southwestern Chicken

Spanish Beef Dinner

Here’s a delicious ground beef recipe that we’ve enjoyed in the past, and would be a quick dinner on a busy day. We could use some of the herbs from our garden that the chef dried in the dehydrator this fall. The recipe is adapted from Quickies: Ten Quick Ways with Everyday Foods,one of my [...]
