Makin’ Bacon

A long, long time ago. In a galaxy, far, far away. Sorry, different story… Oh well, once upon a time we owned and operated a restaurant called “Route 3 Eatery.” It was awesome! We had a wood fired pizza oven, in which we made some tantalizing creations. No pepperoni on our pizzas! We also made […]

Oven-Baked Fried Chicken

Oven-Baked fried chicken….almost sounds like an oxymoron. Although it is baked, it is not fried! Thing is, you get the taste of fried without all the extra grease. No more ridiculous than chicken fried steak. And what’s up with that anyway? Why not breaded steak cutlet? It’s funny what we decide to call things. It’s […]

Salmon Fish Cakes

I used to make these in one of the restaurants we used to own and operate. It was one of those daily specials we would run once every couple of weeks. We always sold out, as a matter of fact people would call in morning and reserve x-amount of specials for themselves and their colleagues […]

Baked Cauliflower with Feta

You can whip them up like mashed potatoes, turn them into pizza crust, steam them, bake them, stew them, sauté them. For non- keto, you can batter them and deep fry ‘em. You […]

Scotch Broth

I’m not entirely sure why they call it Scotch broth when there is obviously more going on in this soup than merely a broth. I do know the soup originated in Scotland and it contains lamb and barley but why not Scotch lamb and barley soup? Winter is soup season and there is nothing more […]

Chia Pudding with Yogurt and Berries

Okay, I didn’t actually cook anything here but after a holiday of too much rich foods and too much alcohol it’s time to get back on track to healthier eating. At least it is for me! And this pudding will really clean out those rich food hardened arteries. There’s a ton of fibre in this […]
