This is my idea of comfort food. Mac & Cheese, according to the foodies on Facebook, is the perfect comfort food for most in the U.S….. It’s good, but a bit bland. This is also my idea of the perfect breakfast. Sadly, a long time ago, in a place far, far away I promised mon mari I would not eat this type of food for breakfast…. no cold leftover pizza … Continue reading →
I like flexible recipes. They are crucial to today’s style of cooking – at least for me. I do my shopping online every 2 weeks. I don’t know what will be available until I log in and I don’t know what might be substituted. Instead of my usual, careful menu planning before I shop it’s turned into a bit of an adventure after the food is picked up and unpacked. … Continue reading →
Another lock-down recipe. Even fish-hating mon mari is starting to miss having fresh fish every week. And we are both missing fresh vegetables and fruits. I’m not avoiding them out of concern that they may be contaminated with the virus. I’m avoiding them because I don’t trust the staff packing my groceries to be as picky about it as I am. For example: I normally select potatoes individually. Because mon … Continue reading →
This is a quick post because it’s Christmas, I have a movie to watch, and my ability to be online is a bit haphazard. My mobile works very well as a hotspot – until it doesn’t. Sometimes I know why, sometimes I don’t. There are so many things that need to be turned on and set and turned off…. And then I do something like actually use it as a … Continue reading →
Everything I make seems to be orange lately…. It’s either butternut squash, pumpkin, or a tomato sauce, which should be red, but then I add yogurt and paprika or, in this case, horseradish, and it turns orange. For the curious…. this is what it really looked like. There might have been an orange tomato in there, too…. This is based on Turkey Cutlets with Horseradish. I loved the sauce and … Continue reading →
I’m one of those people that shops with a list. I plan the menu for the week, make my list, check the fridge, freezer and pantry, then go to the market / supermarket. I rarely buy anything that’s not on the list – unless there is a note on said list to pick-up something interesting from the deli counter. And I very, very rarely forget anything. I will place the … Continue reading →
This is another recipe who’s origins are lost in the mists of time. I made it with traditional ‘white’ cabbage when we lived in the US but now I use green or Savoy cabbage – because that is what I can get. One of the things I noticed with the photo…. my home-grown tomatoes from the freezer don’t have the bright red, thick sauce like purchased canned tomatoes do. So … Continue reading →
