With the weather getting cold outside, I just wanted some simple comfort food to serve my Honey for lunch. This little dish really hit the mark when he walked in the door and smelled the comforting aroma and was served his personal steaming Shepherd’s Pie. Continue reading
Just like Linda, I still have several hard boiled eggs to eat. So I made a breakfast my mom used to make a long time ago. It’s a simple and delicious breakfast over hearty multi grain bread. The bread adds a nice nutty crunch with the creamy egg sauce. Continue reading
As you get to know Linda and I you will notice that we love all things Jane Austin. Linda would agree that our all time favorite Jane Austen book (and subsequent movie!) would have to be ‘Pride and Prejudice’. There is a scene in the movie where ‘Mr Collins’ is visiting the estate he will inherit, causing all five of the ‘Bennet’ girls to be left without anything, (as only boys could inherit).

Today’s lamb chops are being marinated in what I have growing now. Why waste a minute, I say! Continue reading

This is like the potato soup my Mum Mum used to make, but with the awesome addition of cheese and half and half instead of milk. It’s rich and creamy so a little goes a long way. Continue reading
