First attempt at Haddock....

Shawn was craving haddock after a trip to Vancouver, so we tried it out.  Used Tempura batter and deep fried it.  Four days later the house still smells of deep fried fish.  Next time we will do this on the BBQ.



Happy Birthday Shawn (And Queen Victoria)

Although we celebrated the Queen's Birthday on Monday, she was actually born on May 24, 1819.  My husband was born many decades later!

Inspired by our friend Emily, we attempted wild boar chops.  They were amazing.  Boar...the other, other white meat.

A meal fit for a King (Shawn) and Queen:
  • Wild Boar
  • Corn on the cob
  • Loaded baked potato
  • Garlic sautéed shrimp

Been on a bit of a hiatus...

Well it has been a busy couple of months since I have been in the kitchen blogging.  It was a super busy March and April and now that May is almost done BBQ season is in full swing (not that it actually ever stops, but it is much nicer with a glass of wine in hand on the patio than having to shovel a path to the BBQ).

So.....for the summer I am taking a break from the weekly blog, but will post pics and recipes when I can.

Golf (at the Brampton Golf Club) cutting into my blogging time!

Until Autumn rolls around, enjoy the rest of Spring and Summer!!!

On the menu for the Queen Victoria's Birthday:
  • Striploin charred on the Sizzle Zone
  • Grilled veggies
  • Garlic sautéed shrimp
No receipes this time folks....it is pretty straightforward.  GRILL EVERYTHING!!!

When someone gives you lemons....you make????

Lemon loaf of course!!!

Ok, well no one gave us lemons, but you always end up with too much when you shop at Costco.  Note...this recipe won't put a dent in your lemon inventory, as it only uses one.  But I suppose it could if you made more than one loaf!
