Lobster Au Gratin with Rotini Noodles
.gif&w=556&h=133&zc=1)
This is my take on Lobster Au Gratin, the base is there, and then I modified it a bit to my liking making it a lot more creamy and richer. This meal turned out amazing, and I will definitely be making this again when I feel like furthering my goal of giving myself a dairy ...
Crab Cakes
Walking through Costco today I noticed a new product in the deli/cheese section and decided on a whim that I would make some crab cakes tonight. It was a container of lump crab meat, lots of good chunks and claw meat, and apparently on the side all wide caught. With crab in tow I headed ...

Seattle Day 3 – Seattle Aquarium, Naps, Tavolata and Juju
Well after last nights epic drink fest with Heidi, the day started off slow. Dave got up around 9 and wandered over to Top Pot to work on his blog, sip coffee, eat giant donuts, sight the fake Gary Busey, and allow me to sleep in. He makes a good vacation wife! After convincing Dave ...

Chicken Pot Pie
Saturday I decided to make chicken pot pie from scratch. This was once again my first proverbial kick at the cat, but I think all in all it turned out very well. Next time I want to add a little sherry to the mix for some more flavour. I was watching Chef At Home earlier ...
Ramsay Inspired Shepherds Pie
I made this a little earlier in the week for Amy and I, it was quick, flavourful and tasted just as good the next day as it did the day it was made. From beginning to end this really only took about 1 hour to throw together and cook. Shepherds pie was one of those ...
Curry in a Hurry!
My new Le Creuset Tagine and French Oven finally arrived today to work. Ever anxious to use one of them right away, and starving for something tasty, yet somewhat quick I decided to take the Tagine for a whirl with a simple curry! Unfortunately I didn’t take any pictures of dinner tonight. I lied I ...
Boring Pork Chops? I think not!
A couple of weeks ago we had Kyle over for dinner and were going to have pork chops. Problem with that is I don’t really like pork chops. Not in their normal grilled type meal. I enjoy bacon, ham, pork roasts, so really there should be no reason for me to dislike a pork chop. ...
