A week ago I was supposed to go to a Pot Luck lunch/meeting with the other Senior Missionaries. It ended up that for reasons of health I was not able to go, however I had already made this delicious salad to take. However some of the younger missionaries came over to borrow our BBQ for an activity they were...
One thing I really love about chicken breasts is their complete versatility and ability to take on other flavours easily. They are like a blank canvas for an abundance flavours, textures and ingredients . . . so long as you don't dry them out. Over-cooked, they are quite tasteless and not very...
I confess I am a great fan of Swedish Design. I love everything about it. I love the colours, the simplicity, the fact that everything they do is meant to not only look good, but have great function. That's why I was really excited to have been asked to tell you about these new Wildo Camp-A-Box's! ...
I recently received this lovely book, Simply Ramen, a Complete Course in Preparing Ramen Meals at Home by Amy Kimoto-Kahn to review. I confess I have never had ramen, although I know a lot of people who have and who rave about it. I was very excited to get this book!

Remind me not to buy such a big ham next year. When there are only two of you it takes a while to use it all up. We had roasted gammon on the day, then I did the omelette thing, then the next day we had it just re-heated in a pan with the vegetable leftovers and now today I have done a pasta dish with it....
I think I have really been overdoing it on the carb front lately and so I took advantage of us having leftover ham in the house and lots of eggs to make us a delicious Baked Denver Omelette for our supper tonight. Not only was it quick and easy to make, but it is also relatively low in fat and pretty healthy all...
Simnel Cakes and Easter go together like peas and carrots! If you don't live in the UK, you are probably very unfamiliar with Simnel Cake. I adore Simnel Cake myself, but then I am a fan of fruit cakes in general. This very easy simnel cake recipe is one of my favourite go-to's for seasonal Easter Treats....
When I was a child Gammon/Ham was the centre piece of every Easter celebration dinner. It was always served cold, thinly sliced, with mustard and mashed potatoes and vegetables on the side. In all honesty as a child, I was far too full of chocolate and candy to really get too excited about Easter dinner. ...
I don't know about you, but I have very special feelings associated with Good Friday. I have always been a very spiritual person and for me this has to be one of the most emotional days of the year . . . a mix of sadness combined with feelings of gratitude and thanksgiving. I like to keep food...
I've been to Buffalo, New York many times in my life time but I am sorry to say that I have never tried Buffalo Wings in Buffalo. Shame that, because they are one of my favourite things ever. The spiciness of that finger licking chicken . . . and the wings are my favourite part of the chicken...
One of my favourite things to get when we are eating out is a Chicken Sandwich or Burger. Yes, I know . . . we eat chicken all the time at home, and dollars to donuts I eat it again when we are out and about. I am just a boring person I guess! Chicken Sandwiches or Burgers can often be...
This is something which I made a long time ago and forgot to tell you about. It is loosely based on something which my friend Kathy did in her crock pot, except I did it in the oven with parboiled potatoes, and I used cream instead of soup, etc. It turned out fabulous!

I have always made my own convenience mixes for things . . . . biscuit/scone mix, cookie mix, muffin mix, etc. One of my favourite convenience mixes to have to hand is my Brownie Mix. It comes in very handy and so easy to make and to store. It does make a lot, but you can always cut the...
I do believe I have found THE perfect lemon cookie. I love lemon anything and these cookies are just the absolute epitome of what are some beautiful lemon flavours! I SO adore lemon in anything, pies, cakes, cookies. Even savoury dishes. I absolutely love Lemon Chicken.These cookies are crisp,...
Wow, I can't believe that Easter is almost upon us and that this Sunday it is already Palm Sunday. It seems early this year . . . but then again, time just seems to be flying by at the speed of light don't you think? Easter was always one of my favourite holidays when I was growing...
