Dijon Crusted Pork Tenderloin

This was just something I whipped up because I had no time, but didn’t want a plain roasted tenderloin. So because Mike and I really like Dijon mustard, I used that as the main flavor. If you don’t like Dijon, this is definitely not the recipe for you. It’s a plain, simple recipe, Dijon mustard [...]

Honeyed Cornish Game Hens

I love Cornish game hens, they are just the right size for quick cooking, a healthy source of protein and relatively inexpensive. I can find them for about $6 apiece at a local super store we have here and I think this year I am going to attempt many more recipes with them.
This is a [...]

How To: Make The Best Buttercream Icing

I have found my icing recipe, it’s perfect and I won’t fiddle around with it any more. Promise. Ok, well maybe one day I will try adding a couple drops of lemon juice to it, to give it a little pizazz. You know me and lemon. It’s bound to happen one day that the two [...]

Yes, you should commit me, I am talking about my stand [...]

This sauce is strong, so if you like a dainty Alfredo, [...]

Whipped Shortbread

The best ever shortbread.
No really, I don’t like the traditional hard shortbreads very much at all, in fact. This is the only kind of shortbread I have ever known in my baking life, to be honest, it’s another of my grandma’s traditional recipes and no one in my family has ever bothered to make the [...]

Grandma Marion’s Christmas Pudding

This is the loveliest idea for pictures we have done ever; we took a beloved, traditional recipe and made it together as a family, while my friend Rebecca memorialized it for all eternity in pictures, she’s another of my oh-so talented phot0grapher friends. You can take a peek at her work at Rebecca McKay Photography. [...]
