'Lapin a la Moutarde'. Oh, who am I kidding? It's not rabbit, and Jim would laugh me out the front door if I said this out loud. The Buvette cookbook has a lovely braised rabbit in a mustard sauce....

Roasted beets in a sherry vinaigrette with almonds and horseradish spiked creme fraiche. Intriguing combo of flavours! From Buvette cookbook.

When is pumpkin pie not pumpkin pie? When it's Apple Butter Pie! Thick, homemade apple butter replaces the pumpkin purée. It's Apple pie in a velvety texture ☺️

What is it about a crunchy, slightly burnt crust?! 😋😆 Baked penne in layers of cheeses, sour cream and hot Italian sausage sugo. #pasta

Can't seem to get enough of these....slathered in a whack of butter 😜 Cheddar, caraway and caramelized onion scones.

Well, stuff my apples! And pears. Hot Italian sausage filled apples and pears roasted in butter, white wine and sage. It could be an appetizer, but add a salad and it's dinner! #laterstand

Anniversary Breakfast. Chestnut crepes filled with orange and Campari marmalade. Leftover oranges got the heck squeezed out of them for juice! Recipes from the Buvette cookbook.

Starting the day savoury. Sautéed spinach and Chinese lettuce, quinoa, kimchi and Harissa dusted fried egg. Bring on Thursday!

Greetings Meatless Monday. Pleased to meet you. Sincerely Cauliflower Gratin with sage and Gruyere.

Spiced Plum Custard Cake. Partially bake the cake batter and plum layer. Remove from oven and add the custard. Keep baking till set. A lovely recipe from 'The Baker Chick'.

Jim says I make fancy food all the time. I didn't think so. All he wants is cookies. Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Oatmeal cookies. It's 'National Homemade Cookie Day'. They've got a day for every...

I will so make pasta more often! Semolina Trofie from 'Pasta by Hand' by Jenn Louis. The ramp and pistachio pesto that I made back in the spring was perfect with this style pasta. Yay! ☺️
