Fall is upon us here in Alberta Canada and we are changing things along with the weather....I have been busy with health issues this summer, and with the development of a line spice blends and rubs. Because of the changes, we have a new FaceBook page - Full Plate Flavour... Continue reading

BLT Salad
I love to take well - loved flavours and play with them in a different way. I can hardly wait every
year for tomatoes to become ripe to have a bacon lettuce and tomato sandwich.
Not just any BLT but it has to be just perfect, the perfect bread, the perfect
tomato, the perfect bacon, and of course just the right seasoning too. Continue reading

Don't judge before you try it! I saw a similar recipe on television and thought they were crazy...but I'm a little more adventurous than that so I took the principles of the salad, crunchy, sweet, tangy and salt, tossed it together in a bowl and TOTAL YUM! WATERMELON SALAD 8... Continue reading

BISCOTTI
Have you ever been in a coffee or bake shop and had one of those wonderfully crunchy cookies, Biscotti. They are wonderfully delicious, and horribly expensive. Each biscuit can be nearly $5 each. A few weeks ago, a friend and I hosted an Italian Night. We had a wonderful selection... Continue reading

Favourite Cookbook
Cookbooks I have a lot of cookbooks. I love to look at them, read them and put them back on the shelf. I’m sure my family gets very frustrated when they sit there all the time and I just make up my own thing. But to me a cookbook is a guide; it is a place to start. Once you go through the re...
Hi Debbie
I should have been a little clearer. Yes it is 8 hours per pound for whole produces like whole turkey or whole pork roasts, but for pieces like pork chops or chicken pieces, it is just 8 hours total.
I hope that clears things up.

Brining
Brining Why? I never used to think brining was something that concerned anything I was dealing with and I must admit, I don’t do it every time, but it is an easy way to prepare meat, to add flavour without a lot of work. There are rules however. The number one rule is never ever brine red meat...
Brining
Brining is similar to marinating, the formulas are different, but the results are similar. Add flavour, tenderize the meat or vegetables and allow most of the preparation to be accomplished in advance. Continue reading

Waffles
WAFFLES Do you have a waffle maker hanging in the back of your cupboard but you just don’t like the recipe you’ve used for years? I have tried lots of recipes. I have made strange things in my waffle iron (and watched others make even stranger things in theirs). Think... Continue reading

Homemade Mayonnaise
When I make mayonnaise I use my blender. It’s quick and I can control
the speed, whip it up when I’m low and I’m off to whatever I need next. I
usually have a jar of my favourite commercial mayo in the fridge too, for when
I only need a teaspoon, but this is fast, easy and cheap. It makes about ¾ of a
cup and tastes great too.
2 egg yolks
1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice, plus 1 teaspoon
¼ teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/8 teaspoon
sugar
¼ teaspoon sea salt
1/8 teaspoon
fresh black pepper
¾ cup canola oil
In the jar of the blender, empty the yolks, lemon juice, mustard, salt
and pepper. Blend on a medium setting until combined. With the blender set at
its lowest setting, and the main lid on, remove the inner lid and stream the
oil in in a slow steady stream until it is well combined. It should take about
30 seconds, then scrape down the sides and blend for 5 seconds more. Taste and
adjust seasonings if you feel it is necessary.
Salad Dressings
Sure you can go to the grocery store and stare blankly at the shelf of salad dressings before picking the same old same old or decide to be adventurous and choose the new variety of the one you had last week. Or you can even opt to throw caution to the wind and open the fridge door and dump near...

Salt
SALT BLOG At one time salt was used in place of money. Jesus called his disciples the salt of the earth. Salt is vital. We need salt. But with our markets bombarded with sea salt, table salt, cake-free, mineral salt, Maldon salt, grey salt, Himalayan salt, black salt, and kosher... Continue reading
