Even though the ideal method of cooking, at least in my mind, is to barbecue all summer, I suppose it’s OK to have other options! There’s no pasta in this tasty “lasagne” just long “lasagne” like strips of zucchini. Of course it’s best made with in season zucchini, especially if you can find the Italian ridged […]
You’ve just have to say yes to these juicy, succulent morsels! When a friend posted that she was making meatballs, I figured I’d better get busy and make some too! I’ve probably made hundreds if not thousands of different meatballs in my former chef life! The big plus being, they are easy to eat from […]
Meatballs are hard not to like! They’re quick and easy and you can have a meal on the table in no time, and the are child friendly too! I think these are especially good with mashed potatoes, Colcannon (a mashed potato/cabbage combo.) or buttered noodles and a green veg. Makes 4 Servings For the Meatballs: […]
You just can’t help but love the colours of bell peppers! I call for ground veal but I don’t see why ground turkey, ground pork or ground beef would not be just as delicious. A nice big spoonful of tomato sauce with herbs spooned over top would be just the ticket! Makes 4 Peppers 2 […]
A pasta dish with the scrumptious Greek flavours of cinnamon, cloves and cayenne. The combination of spices remind me of the very first time ever that I tried spaghetti with meat sauce. I absolutely fell in love with that spaghetti taking me on my lifelong journey exploring Italian/Mediterranean cuisines, not to mention my love affair […]
When I worked at the corporate dining room, we made bucketful’s of these meatballs for receptions,coated with a sauce made from grape jelly, chili sauce and a squeeze of lemon juice; probably sounds a bit odd, but tastes pretty good! They were always a hit. We also like to make them for a main course, making them larger and serving with different […]
The beauty of these juicy meatballs is that you don’t have to brown them first. Yeah! As they bake, they impart all their delicious juices and flavours to the sauce! Does it get any better? They’re a big hit at our house. We serve them on their own as a second course with a light […]
It was definitely time to go through the freezer and use up stuff. I found a package of ground veal and thought “what am I going to do with this?” Meatballs? No, not really. Spaghetti? Nope…lightening strikes; I know, we haven’t had polenta for a while, so how about a ragu to put on top […]
The famous Brazilian meat pies! We really enjoy them in the summer either for lunch or dinner with a salad! They are perfect to take along on a picnic or to make appetizer size and take to a party. Bonus…they can be eaten hot or at room temperature! If you wish, you can add a few […]
