Right now this soup is a favourite around here, and good thing because I have a garden full of leeks. My husband loves this soup a lot, I quite often find him in kitchen lately whipping up a pot of soup for a weekend lunch or dinner. We like to serve this with a fresh...

Chicken Ball Batter

Irene — Fri, 02 Feb 2018 04:43:06 +0000

This is the best chicken ball batter for making homemade chicken balls. I’ve tried many other batter recipes but I keep coming back to this one. This recipe makes better tasting chicken balls than most Chinese restaurants that I’ve tried. For a small batch of deep fried foods I find it easier to just use...

Greek Pasta Salad

Irene — Sun, 10 Jul 2016 22:39:16 +0000

This Greek inspired pasta salad recipe is a very versatile dish. If you don’t have or like some of the ingredients you can leave them out. The main thing is getting the dressing right. A good rule of thumb when making any salad dressing is to use half the amount of vinegar to oil. So...

Homemade Yogurt

Homemade yogurt is easy to make and a lot healthier than the store bought yogurt that usually contains additives that you just don’t want to eat all the time. Here’s my recipe for homemade yogurt, I’m sure you’ll love it as much as we do. My friend Mona has been making her own yogurt for...

Italian Style Meatballs

Irene — Sat, 07 Sep 2013 01:29:00 +0000

This is a great flavorful meatball, especially with the added Parmesan cheese. I bake my meatballs in the oven because it’s easier than pan frying. They just need to be turned once or twice to get that even brownness.When I buy ground beef in bulk I like to make a huge batch of meatballs, and...

Onion Rings

Irene — Wed, 15 May 2013 03:39:00 +0000

This is the easiest batter for onion rings. Similar to my batter for fish, although this has a wee bit of spice added to it. I used purple onions only because I still have a partial bushel of these onions left and I’m trying to use them up. Sweet onions or spanish onions are ideal...

Such a hearty beet soup, short ribs can be used instead of spareribs. Celeriac is a very tasty addition to this soup, if you can’t find any, just use celery. This Borscht Soup recipe is handed down from my Dad, he was quite a good cook. I was raised on Borscht soup, my favourite part...
