The tale of two pies. I made this mixed berry pie when we were all doing our own recipes during the pandemic. It was a soupy mess and I did not want to repeat it. This summer I purchased a Costco mixed berry pie for research purposes 🙂 to compare the two. Costco had the…
Lamingtons
National Lamington Day celebrates an iconic Australian dessert. It is observed every year on July 21. In honor of this day we are making Lamingtons for Tuesdays with Dorie. Lamingtons are cubes of cake usually sponge covered in chocolate and coated with unsweetened coconut. This is a new dessert for our household but we were all…
Roast Chicken with Pan-Sauce Vinaigrette
I have been known to ruin a good piece of meat so I usually leave the meat cooking to my husband but he was working so I needed to step up to the plate:) First off, while buying the ingredients I found Living Herbs sold a roasting mix of rosemary, sage and thyme in one…
Nectarine-Berry Cobbler
Since I am going to make a berry pie later this month I decided to go with Dorie’s Playing Around suggestion and I made a Nectarine-Berry Cobbler. A cobbler is a combination of fruit and biscuits and Dorie’s version includes cottage cheese in her biscuits. A quick search of my blog and I discovered that…
Cheddar-Scallion Scones
We love scones, they are a beloved breakfast treat. I don’t think we have made savory scones before so this was a new recipe for us. Scones usually have heavy cream or sour cream but with the addition of so much cheddar cheese these have whole milk as the liquid. I managed to get a…
Strawberry Tart
This tart is supposed to have a bottom layer of poached rhubarb but after going to three grocery stores I ended up empty handed, so strawberry tart it is. This was a lovely summer dessert with strawberry flavor throughout. The strawberries I purchased were quite large so I only needed a few to cover the…
Liam Charles’s Chocolate Marshmallow Biscuits
Inspired by the latest season of the Junior Great British Bake Off, I decided to make Liam’s poop emoji biscuits ie cookies. It was a revelation to me that the recipes were available on the website, I did not know this. The recipe is printed by UK standards ie the metric system. I was not…
Lettuce Soup
This is a recipe that requires a lot of fresh ingredients so a trip to the produce store was needed before I could start this one. Since I did not think my son was going to like it I decided to make a half recipe which influenced what ingredients I was going to buy. To…
Ponzu Chicken
According to my cookbook, I made this chicken on 10/11/20 but I don’t remember making it and I don’t have a blog post for it so here we go again take two. Ponzu sauce is a mixture of soy and citrus, instead of buying a bottle my husband made some of his own concoction. We…
Warm Squid Salad
I included all the ingredients in the recipe except celery which I forgot to buy. I assembled everything in advance except the squid which my husband wanted to add right after cooking. I served this over a bed of iceberg lettuce with some bread for a light dinner. I found eating this dish quite laborious,…
