    It’s All In The Sauce

    What is Roast Beef, Mashed Potatoes and Yorkshire Pudding without Gravy? Boring, for starters… The Chinese knew this 2000 years ago when the first chef squeezed a mass of fermented soya paste and discovered the liquid added zing to the chicken he was stir-frying. Today Soya Sauce is a staple in Chinese cooking and a condiment that should be in every fridge. Recent studies have shown that soya products may not be good for your health after all … Read entire article »

    Oatmeal-Bran Minnie Bread

    The bread machine has been working overtime this holiday season. There is just something about adding ‘fresh from the oven’ bread to any family meal, not to mention the wonderful smell it gives the kitchen! Oatmeal-Bran Minnie Bread is a hearty, dense bread well suited for toast, sandwiches (turkey of course!) and quite likely toasts up to make wonderful croutons! But the loaves are smallish (hence Minnie, who also asked for the recipe…) compared to regular … Read entire article »

    Simply Different

    Around our house eating can sometimes be an adventure, with The Boss rolling her eyes and only jumping in where there is risk to life and limb. Let’s just say I get bored easily, and that applies to food as well. Here are some of the somewhat off-beat ‘concoctions’ that have appeared in our kitchen lately: Want to jazz up your Egg Salad Sandwiches? Instead of the boring smunched hardboiled eggs, mayo and salt and pepper, try … Read entire article »

    Oatmeal Bread With Oomph

    With the colder weather I have been hauling out the bread machine much more regularly. But with at least two lactose intolerant and two sugar sensitive people in the house I have been much more conscious of making bread with less of the ‘white bread syndrome’ and little or no milk. My latest attempt seems to have finally hit the mark – a fortified white bread with NO milk or white sugar in the recipe. And NOT … Read entire article »

    Sinful Sunday Snacks

    The countdown to Advent always means a work party at Teeswater United, hard work perhaps but lots of fun (especially if you get to see Sir Laurence trying to hang a wreath while perched on the back of the choir loft!) and just a plain good chance to get into the holiday spirit! Of course before all that ‘hard work’ the troops need sustenance, this year in the form of Jane McQuarrie’s hearty Turkey Soup (hopefully … Read entire article »

    Chili Con Queso (Cream Cheese with Jalapenos)

    Cousin Tracy is on a roll… this is her second recipe sent today! Maybe I can talk her into a Recipe column? What do you think?? She and I share more than just a common relative (my wife). We both love diablo-hot food, whether it is curries, spicy Thai, Szechuan hot or Mexican.  This hot dip recipe calls for Jalapenos but if you asked her really nice I bet she has a couple of Habaneros hiding … Read entire article »

    Eileen’d Over And Ate Yer Muffin Banana Muffins

    These are perhaps the BEST banana muffins I have ever eaten – and I KNOW banana muffins. As the story goes, we were giving away our stroller and car seat to a newly delivered 2nd cousin of Lori’s. When she picked them up Aunt Eileen offered to pay but no way – this is family. As a compromise Aunt Eileen brought us a dozen of her banana muffins, which promptly disappeared, mostly down the gullet of … Read entire article »

    Grandma Fischer’s Anything Cookies

    ‘Cousin’ Tracy (Nicholson) mentioned a while back about this famous family recipe of her grandmother’s. As the story goes Grandma Fischer’s ‘Anything Cookies’ were literally ‘to die for’! Definitely my kind of recipe, you can follow the instructions word for word or read the Notes first and go crazy with your imagination. After all they are Anything Cookies! So here is the recipe from Tracy (with lots of notes – my kind of cookie recipe!) Anything Cookies Print Recipe type: … Read entire article »
