This is a recipe I probably would not have made if it wasn’t for this group which is the benefit of cooking in a group. I served this as a starter for our Sunday family dinner and it was a big hit, surprisingly big hit. This was another team effort recipe, I put my husband…

Boozy Jumbled-Fruit Croustade
I purposely made this dessert late, I was saving it for an outdoor luncheon I was having with friends. I was happy when this recipe made the list as I have a cupboard full of dried fruit to use up. As I headed out to get the few ingredients I needed to finish this dish…
Pasta with Sardines, Fennel and Pine Nuts
My husband knocked this out on a Thursday night. He said this recipe was doable for a week night meal. We opted not to put the oil in from the sardine can but used olive oil instead. We enjoyed this one even though it was a bit fishy. Anytime raisins end up in a dish…
Cauliflower Tabbouleh
Shopping for the ingredients for this cauliflower tabbouleh I found this bag of cauliflower pearls which was begging me to buy. It just seemed so easy to open and pour and I didn’t have to wash the food processor. Sold! I followed the recipe as written except for the mint, my husband does not like…
Stuffed Cabbage
I don’t think I have ever made stuffed cabbage but I am sure that I have eaten before. This is a good winter dinner recipe, I seem to crave more beef dishes during the winter months. I take issue with the ‘Everyday’ as this is a laborious recipe, I would put this in the special…
Everyday Christmas
I planned to make both my recipes from Everyday Dorie for Christmas dinner and a make-up too. The menu was; Spatchocked Chicken, Paper-Thin Roasted Potatoes and Maple-Syrup and Mustard Brussels Sprouts. It was a lot of cooking but it was oh so worth it. Luckily my husband likes to cook so he was a big…
Roasted Butternut Squash Soup
I love all things squash and I was looking forward to having soup again. Roasting vegetables in the oven (butternut squash, onion, carrots and garlic) also makes it extra yummy. I made the full recipe knowing I would have enough for two meals. I have learned from experience that Dorie likes thin soups and since…
Chicken and Winter Squash Tagine
Given all the spices that went into this dish we were expecting much more flavor. I think all the flavor went into the chicken broth and even though I put sauce all over my meal, it was still bland. The whole family was underwhelmed with this one. We made the whole recipe to have enough…
Caramelized Onion Galette with Parm Cream
I love caramelized onions and I am drawn to them on restaurant menus. I have made caramelized onions before and it is a labor of love. This particular batch took about an hour or so. I complained to my husband that after 40 minutes there was no color and he said you are stirring them…
Umami Burger
This week’s selection required a trip to the local Asian market (Mitsuwa Marketplace) and some help with translation. Needed ingredients were oyster sauce and gochujang. I found the oyster sauce but needed help with the later which was not in English and was shelved as kochijan, I learned something new. Other needed ingredients which I…
