Recipes I've Posted (all 6)
My favourite foods are comfort foods. I get weak in the knees over a good mac-and-cheese. Southern fried chicken and big beef ribs have been long favourites for me, and I always like the winter roasts. However, my husband, who grew up eating South Indian food, has given me an appreciation for delicately spiced curries and lighter, more flavourful fare. The result is an interesting combination of the two. :)

Red Pepper Hummusyummy!

Birds Nest (Eggs and Toast)LOVE. I've been making this forever, and even fry my circles like you. :)

Bacon ScallopsVery good!

Baked ScallopsI omitted the sherry, and used a bit more butter than stated in the ingredient list. I also mixed in minced garlic, parsley, and basil into the butter before assembling the casserole. This dish is simply fabulous.

Deviled Guacamole Eggs (by Marco Anthony Stanco)I used one avocado for a dozen eggs, because I was worried about the appearance of green eggs. Still, the avocado imparted a creamy texture and taste to the eggs!

Hot Crab DipI doubled the crab, which made it richer. I also love using celery sticks. The dip is creamy, rich, and yummy!

|
Roast Honey Duck #1I substituted port for the sherry.... this turned out wonderfully, and the duck was very moist! Next time I'll start at 450 to render the fat and then come down to 350 for cooking for an hour or so. I prefer duck NOT well-done, but even this recipe (well done) left the duck moist and yummy!

Baked Butterscotch PuddingOMG this is so good!

Mango Salsa over Grilled Chicken and Couscous[I posted this recipe.]

Shrimp and "Grits"Tweak the cooking times to get your greens as crispy or soft as you like them. Take care not to overcook the shrimp, or it will turn chewy. [I posted this recipe.]

Fauxtatoes/grits- mashed cauliflowerThis is a highly malleable recipe. Use the cauliflower just as you would mashed potatoes, but the secret is the cream cheese, which makes it creamy. [I posted this recipe.]

Juicy butterflied roast chickenMake sure you have a good pair of kitchen shears, a broiling pan, and a bowl of spices already prepared before you touch the chicken. I usually prep the chicken in my (cleaned) sink, which makes cleaning up the chicken easy: just fill with hot, soapy water and a bit of bleach! [I posted this recipe.]

James Beards Mac and CheeseThe roux made this mac and cheese very flavourful. I am definitely making this again. :)
