Quick Calabrian Lasagna

Quick Calabrian Lasagna

  One of Meat and Tater Man’s favourite meals is lasagna.  My daughter also loves this, and has the capacity to gobble up multiple servings of it, unlike other foods (like certain vegetables), which she nearly never seems to have any room for come supper time.  When I ask what they want for supper, they […]

Roast Chicken (Notes for my daughter)

Hardly a week goes by without me roasting a chicken in the oven.  For me, roast chicken is the ultimate comfort meal.  One bite takes me back to the immediately soothing and familiar taste of my mom’s roast chicken, and provides me with a lifetime of memories at the tip of my fork.  There is […]
