Baked pasta with pork and sage meatballs and kale
I have felt like eating something similar to a recipe from my friend over at Cottage Grove House (which you may find here) had posted since I saw it in the wee hours of the morning. 5:30am to be exact. But this is bound to happen when you get up at 5am every morning to…

Pork porterhouse (porkerhouse) “saltimbocca”
Saltimbocca is the Italian term (meaning jumps in the mouth) that loosely refers to something that is wrapped in prosciutto and sage and is done with just about everything these days; chicken, fish, veal, pork, your girlfriend… certainly guaranteed to spice up your evening if nothing else. And if you’re anything like me you wouldn’t…

Bacon, corn and herb stuffing for your roast chicken… or pervy bedroom antics (it is Valetines Day after all)
First of all Happy Valentines Day. Secondly, whatever. The kids have decided that they want roast chicken for dinner tonight, which is just fine with me. You must know how to roast a chook by now so I shall spare you the insult to your intelligence, although I’m sure I’ll say something soon enough that…

Mums tuna patties (with kale)
This is not a funny story. Nor is it a gripping adventure. It is a recipe for a dinner close to overflowing with nostalgia, and the tale of a young carnie showgirl and her quest for freedom and her struggle to get to the U, S and A. Where do I go from a statement…

Iluka and a prawn pasta that will do the trick for Valentines Day I think…
Iluka again. Yes we’re back to Iluka again. The owners of the restaurant I work at have declared we shall be closed for a week for maintenance and a well-deserved break after the holiday craziness. I agreed this was a good idea. Even if I was a little simpler then I think I am and…

A steak sandwich just so I get to use my homemade tomato sauce
As I stated in the title of this piece, this steak sandwich happened to come into my possession purely for the purpose of carrying my home made tomato sauce to my face. I could’ve just drank it but, quite frankly, that shit just looks plain wrong. Make a steak sandwich exactly like you would make…

Pork knuckle, sauerkraut and bean stew with mustard dumplings a la Jamies Money Saving Meals
…and with the leftovers of last nights dinner I shall make pork knuckle, sauerkraut and bean stew with mustard dumplings a la “Jamie’s Money Saving Meals” and by Jeeves he would have been proud. That pork knuckle only costs $8. Read it again, eight bucks! So yes, the leftover pork and cabbage shall be our…

Pork knuckle with sauerkraut and hasselback fondant potatoes
Today Jennee has declared she will be cooking my favourite dinner because of my prompt completion of set tasks lately. I have been meeting all of my KPIs (key performance indicators), negotiating multi-single dollar deals and fulfilling all of my regular everyday husbandly duties (sex) with such efficiency (defo) and great results (not really). I…
