The chef took us out for lunch today, and we enjoyed appetizers with a variety of dipping sauces for dinner, which were yummy. We have a few types of pepper plants in the garden, including jalepeno, so the chef might enjoy making this dip for afternoon snacks tomorrow.

Tonight the chef made a pizza, using a thin crust and sauce from the grocery store, and piled high with tomatoes from our garden, sliced mushrooms, pepperoni and cheese. It was great, and there are a couple of slices left over for lunch tomorrow. The chef also made a delicious salad, so we’re full of [...]

Tonight the chef made a delicious dinner of Romaine Salad with Sour Cream Maple Dressing and Salisbury Steaks. It was a great meal, and I’d have both dishes again any time.
The garden is still producing lots of zucchini, so this pasta recipe might be a good way to use some. I’m sure any pasta could [...]

The chef brought home a couple of pounds of very small new potatoes yesterday, and this recipe looks like a delicious way to eat them. The recipe is adapted from The Lighthearted Cookbook, by Anne Lindsay.
The cookbook was published with the Canadian Heart Foundation, so the recipes are heart-healthy, and they’re also easy to follow, [...]

There’s more zucchini ready to be [...]

Here’s a recipe that we’ve [...]

Last night the chef brought home some fresh corn on the cob, which we enjoyed for supper. The night before, he made a variation on Sloppy Joe Skillet Dinner, using a can of St. Hubert Pepper Sauce, instead of Sloppy Joe Mix. The sauce is like gravy, with an extra dash of black pepper, and [...]

Today the chef found a great deal on lean ground beef, so I guess we’ll need a few recipes to use it up. It’s stored in the freezer, so I think we have a couple of months to use it, before its quality starts to decline.
This recipe looks quick and easy, with ingredients that the [...]

Tonight the chef made the Not So Portly Pork recipe that I posted yesterday, and it turned out great. The rhubarb in our garden was still tender and firm, which is rare for this time of year. We hauled the old bottle of cheap port out of the back of the cupboard, and used it [...]
