Bruce and Kim Thanks for the welcome back. Kim, chicken enchiladas are a favourite here too. We had Mexican last night. Pork Carnitas with homemade corn tortillas. I roasted tomatoes to make a salsa, and cooked up a pot of pinto beans to serve on the side. Leftover pork and beans will end up in a layered dip for dinner tonight.

Amy, I'll trade you a couple of oatmeal for your double chocolate pecan cookies.

It has been a while since I've posted here. It is nice to come back and see so many familiar names. Bruce your meals all look so good. What you cook has always appealed to me. I'd be happy with everyone of your meals. Shelby, I haven't had frog legs in years. I love them. Yours look perfect. Nate, I love your smoked meats. I can just imagine the flavour in those ribs. Menuinprogess, your photos are amazing. A couple of our meals from the weekend. Saturday - Rack of Pork with Cracklins. And Sunday - grilled beef tenderloin.

Dottie I'd have to agree with your friend. Especially if you were serving that pork pie. Looks mouthwatering delicious. austramerica What a pretty presentation. Bruce I love your multi-cultural dinner. What always draws me to your dinners are the colours. Kim What an Easter Feast. Dinners this week: Tuesday: Homemade Italian sausage served with Penne Wednesday: Beef Stew with Bread Parsley Dumplings Thursday: Grilled Tex Mex Pork Tenderloin stuffed with roasted Poblano Peppers and cheese and rubbed with garlic and Chipotle pepper. Homemade corn tortillas.

Bruce, I'm not even in your league. Thanks Monovano. I have no clue how to use all the functions on my new camera so I just use the automatic setting. I sit the plate up near two "Day light" lights. And I never use a flash. Basically it is luck. Tex Mex on the menu here tonight. I cooked the pork and the black beans this morning before leaving for work. All I had to do when I got home was make the corn tortillas and the guacamole.

Thank you Shelby and Percy. Made homemade buttermilk biscuits for breakfast yesterday. Moe had an egg white omelette with his.

OOOOH doesn't that look good. Bruce My husband would love your salad. Tuesday's dinner Grilled Italian Sausage with pasta. Wednesday - Halibut with a green peppercorn sauce and last night Chicken Lettuce Wraps.

SanaaSol Your soup look delicious. Great photo. Dr. J I agree with David. Your dinners and your photos look amazing. I grilled a small Prime Rib for dinner. Just big enough for two slices. Fresh grated horseradish on the side.

Bruce Your breakfasts are as colourful as your dinners. Works of art. Speaking of art, Rachel you paint pictures with your words. No photos needed. I've missed reading your posts. We had Breakfast for dinner last night. Biscuits with Sausage gravy, fried potatoes and scrambled eggs. And one day last week I made Moe pancakes for breakfast with Blackberries.

Dockhl, Prasantrin you are both welcome to the dark ones. I like the more golden ones. I use the double fry method when frying regular french fries but the potato chips cook so quickly that I just fry them in oil that is 350° to 360°F degrees. They don't take long. If you are doing a double batch ,just keep the first batch warm in the oven. Tim A perfect steak dinner for your dad. Grilled Baby Back ribs, seasoned Greek style with deep fried smashed potatoes (still had the oil from the potato chips to use) and a broccoli flan.

WOW! What a wonderful display of different foods and cuisines. Italian, Asian, Irish, Cuban and everything looks soo soo good. I wish I could reach in and sample Dockhl's Cheese souffle Prancrackers sole. Oh my god that fish looks amazing. So fresh. Ce'Nedra's won ton soup and for dessert Monovano's chocolate cheese cake. Meals haven't been anything special but they have been tasty. Burgers on Saturday night with homemade potato chips. Pot Roast on Sunday night with the traditional sides. And last night a Malaysian chicken Curry.

Wow where to start. Chris Your Mushroom Omelette is prrobably the best picture I have ever seen of an omelette. Nishla Your Tofu and your scallops look sooooo good. But it is your butternut squash tart that I would love a slice of. Renka your Lamb is perfectly cooked. Now I have a craving. Kim I'd be happy with a little bit of everything on your plate. Monday night's dinner - Chicken Chop Suey. And last night we had Spaghetti and Meatballs. I've had a craving for meatballs since Shelby posted her dinner. So I put a big pot of sauce and meatballs on yesterday morning before leaving for work. This time I made bite size meatballs.

Shelby Gorgeous Roast Chicken. Dr. J Love your plating of the cornish hen with rice. Bruce As always your photos are the best. Your meals are amazing. Kim Your pot pies are so cute. Love the little heart cutouts. A few of the meals we have had over the last week. Roast Chicken Dinner Thursday Night. Chicken again Friday night. Chicken Legs roasted wtih potatoes, olives, onions, garlic, tomatoes and lemons and served with deep fried asparagus. Saturday night was Beef Tenderloin with Shittake Mushrooms over noodles. Sunday night I roasted a Rack of Pork. And last night I used the leftovers in Hot Pork Sandwiches with homemade fries.

Dr. J. No real recipe. I just browned the cipollini's in a little butter/oil then simmered them in homemade chicken broth. I made a roux and used the broth the onions were cooked in as the liquid and enriched the sauce with a little heavy cream. The mushrooms were an after thought. They were sauted and added to the sauce along with the onions and simmered for just a little while to meld the flavours. Other times I have added fresh thyme or parmesan cheese to the sauce. Ann

Everyones dinners look so good. And the photography is something else. Kim I'm not big on leftovers either, but I would be happy with yours. David Your corn beef looks as good as any I've seen in a Jewish Deli. Here are a few of the meals we have had in the last week. Penne Carbonara Grilled boneless chicken breasts with fried potatoes tossed with fried onions and green peppers. New York Strip with creamed cipollini onions and shittake mushrooms. And tonight Lamb Shanks with mashed potatoes, rutabaga and steamed green beans.

Thanks Toliver What a nice thing to say.

David Perfectly cooked steak. I grilled a small Prime Rib tonight. Sides were sweet potatoes with caramelized onions, asparagus and parisienne potatoes. And horseradish.

monavano great looking meatloaf. I love the filling. eldereno I made a cauliflower puree last week using a golden cauliflower. I seasoned it the same way but with the addition of a little fresh garlic. We had grilled Cajun style baby back ribs on Thursday night and last night was chicken pot pies.

Heidi Parisienne Potatoes are very easy to make. You just need a strong melon baller. I made Osso Bucco for dinner last night with risotto on the side. Cooked extra risotto so I could make rice balls for dinner tonight. (Thanks for the idea Dr. J..

Oh MIFI those baked eggs look fabulous. Bruce Normally I'm not a big breakfast fan. Unlike my husband who loves tradtional "egg" breakfasts. I usually lean towards something sweet, like a danish or cinnamon roll. But I would make an exception for any of your savory breakfasts. Made Moe hard boiled eggs with chives for breakfast this morning. The toast was homemade bread and the eggs were farm fresh free range eggs.

Tim Looks like you are putting your new gas cooktop to good use. Last night's dinner was my favourite pasta sauce over fusilli. Sausage and Rosemary.

oh man ← Well said Tupac. Grilled a small New York Strip roast for dinner. Sides were yellow cauliflower puree, parisienne potatoes and steamed green beans.

Bruce Your food is like a work of art. So much colour. I just know that the flavours are as vibrant as the colours. Tex Mex here tonight. Put a pot of black beans on to simmer early today and got out the tortilla press and made corn tortillas to go with pork carnitas. Pretended it was summer and drank Sangria with it.

Dr. J Great looking dinner. scubadoo97 Your Syrian meat pies look very good. Kim Yum. I'd be happy with your dinner. I love roast pork and red cabbage is the perfect side. Dinner last night was wings with homemade potato chips and tonight was a roast chicken dinner with traditional sides.

Bake day. Four loaves of Sourdough.
