These spicy-as-you-like-them Keto taquitos are just the thing for an easy lunch, especially if you’ve got just a bit of leftover cooked chicken in the fridge. I often roast whole, parted, chickens and though they are always a hit, certain parts are more popular with the fam-jam than others. I go for the wings –…
Jalapeño Popper Chicken
Got a craving for jalapeño poppers but need something more substantial for dinner? That was me the other day and this recipe for Jalapeño Popper Chicken fit the bill perfectly. Checking off all of my boxes (simple, quick, keto or at least low carb, and delicious) isn’t always easy but this dish was – easy…
Magret de Canard Séché (Duck Prosciutto)
Steve and I have always dreamed of making our own charcuterie and salumi. We’ve made fresh sausages a few times with really great results but have always wished we had a close Italian friend who would share their secrets to homemade cured meats like chorizo, capicollo and prosciutto. To me there is something highly romantic about a…
Greek Chicken Collard Wraps
I grew collard greens in my garden for the first time this year. I was on a bit of a cruciferous veggie roll after the resounding success of growing kale last year, planting cabbage, cauliflower and collards in the garden this year. I have to admit I had never had a collard green before as…
Greek Chicken Skewers
I am in the market for a new freezer. My brother in law, hunter Dave, has offered this year to share a deer with us should his annual fall hunting expedition be successful. Venison is a very lean and healthy meat and I am not put off by any gaminess in its flavour so we…
Roasted Duck Legs with Haskap Sauce
I was presented with a challenge several weeks ago by Steve’s good friend Larry. Larry has been growing haskap berries, a newish variety of berries to the Canadian market, and he wanted to see if I could come up with some ways to use them. Haskap, or honeyberries, are a small bush berry that grows similarly…
Rotisserie Cornish Hens
We’ve lived in our home for over 20 years and this has been the year of maintenance. Well actually, living on an acreage means every year is a year of maintenance. Maybe it’s more correct to state that this year has been the year of replacements. It started with our dishwasher. It killed the big…
Stuffed Turkey Breast
Following the lead of my brother in law Dave, it has become my routine to do a quick peruse of the meat department at the supermarket to look first for items that are on sale. These are items that need to be used up quickly, but since I’m often shopping for today’s meal that suits me…
Chicken with Lemon and Olives
When I purchase chickens my preference is often to buy a whole bird and then part it out myself. This is generally cheaper than buying packages of single cuts and a whole chicken offers a variety of different meats to satisfy everyone’s taste and texture preferences. Since I can happily eat chicken for breakfast and…
Mrs. Boswell’s {Best Ever} Chicken Marinade
A lot of my recipes come from friends and when I receive them I immediately rename them to reflect who I got them from. That is the case with this chicken marinade from Mrs. Boswell. Nearly 25 years ago, when my eldest son was just a baby, I met Steve in Texas at the end of…
