Quesadillas With Spicy Chicken

Here’s a tip if you want to write about your dinner — don’t eat food that’s hard to spell!

Tonight we had quesadillas with shredded cheddar cheese and spicy chicken as the stuffing. The chicken breast pounded flat, then cut into 1″x1/2″ pieces, and stir fried with fajita seasoning.
Easy, quick and tasty!

Soup and Tea Biscuits

We ate yesterday’s leftovers for lunch, so for supper tonight we had chicken vegetable soup. To round out the meal, I made tea biscuits, from the recipe in my well-used, and rather oily,  ”Cooking with St. Lawrence Corn Oil.”
The recipe booklet was published by St. Lawrence Starch, probably in the early ’70s, right here in [...]

Spicy Ham Jambalaya

It’s a cool, wet day, so we needed a supper that would heat us up. Inspired by a recipe in the Chatelaine cookbook, Quickies: Ten Quick Ways with Everyday Foods, I made a spicy dinner from a ham steak. It turned out well, and the recipe is below, if you’re brave enough to try it.

Toll House Pan Cookies

Tonight’s dinner was beans and weiners, with pan fried mushrooms and asparagus on the side. Because the dinner was so easy to make, the substitute chef decided to make chocolate chip cookies for dessert.
Since the dinner theme was “Easy Cooking”, we opted for pan cookies, instead of drop cookies. It’s much easier to mix the [...]

Fish and Chips

The chef has abandoned us for a week of golfing, so suppers might be dull this week. Fortunately, he filled the fridge with goodies before leaving, so we can forage for food without facing the hordes at SuperStore.
Tonight, we made fish and chips, from supplies we found in the freezer. The fish was halibut, with [...]

Apple Crisp with Leftovers

No, we didn’t eat the apple crisp and leftovers together. First, some of us had leftover pasta, and others had sandwiches made with leftover chicken.
For dessert, we all had delicious apple crisp. Some of us had two servings, in honour of recent birthdays. We like apple crisp with a topping made from flour, brown sugar, [...]

Linguine With Tomato Beef Sauce

Who’s in charge of taking the dinner pictures? Apparently no one, because, once again, we wolfed down the dinner without stopping to take a photo.
The chef made a delicious sauce — tomato sauce, simmered with fried diced onion, celery, mushrooms and ground beef, with oregano and basil added for seasoning.
The plan was to serve it over [...]

Buffalo Wings

Thank goodness for birthdays — anything you eat at a birthday celebration has zero calories! It’s the chef’s birthday today, and we enjoyed some delicious buffalo wings, with fries, and a few token celery and carrot sticks. No one remembered to take a picture, but they looked something like this:

 

Roast Chicken and Vegetables

The chef bought a roast chicken from the grocery store today, and sliced it up for dinner. Served with steamed carrots, broccoli and asparagus, and tossed salad, it was a delicious spring meal. Tomorrow is the chef’s birthday, so the sous chef will be cooking (or dialling). I hope there’s plenty of leftover chicken!

Burgers With Salad

Another great night for barbequing, so we had grilled burgers and mushrooms, with tossed salad. The chef was tired from a day of golfing and swimming, but still managed to make an excellent dinner.
