Buttermilk Chocolate Cake

Sunday, 31 January 2016

You would be right in thinking that this is not something which you will see very often in this kitchen . . .  chocolate cake.  The Toddster doesn't like chocolate cakes, pies or cookies, or puddings for that matter  . . .  and with my diabetes I try very hard not to eat this stuff, but when I was...

Lemon Cake Pie

Saturday, 30 January 2016

I want to tempt you just a little bit this morning with a tasty recipe from my Big Blue Binder. This is a big blue plastic covered binder that I have been carrying around with me since I was a little girl. (I was 9 or 10 when I started it.) It is old and tatty now, and bulging at the seams . . . but it is also filled...

Maple & Mustard Chicken . . .

Friday, 29 January 2016

 One of the things I love most about chicken is it's ability to go so very well with a lot of other flavours. It's just so very adaptable, and delicious.  The breast meat is of course a lot leaner, but also very easy to dry out . . .  the thighs and legs have a lot more flavour in the, and require longer...

Apple & Cinnamon Tea Cake

Thursday, 28 January 2016

  Apple & Cinnamon Tea Cake. I had some apples in my fruit bowl that needed using up pronto, and so I dug out this delicious cake recipe that I have had in my repertoire for quite some time now.  Who doesn't love an apple cake after all.  I thought it would be the perfect way to use them up. Actually,...

Dauphinoise Hasselback Potatoes

Wednesday, 27 January 2016

I am always looking for a different way to cook potatoes.  I love  potatoes.  Unfortunately I need to watch how many I eat these days.  The days of having nothing but a baked potato for supper are long over.  But I can enjoy half a one, and today I enjoyed a half a one of these delicious...

French Onion Cottage Pie

Monday, 25 January 2016

Red meat isn't something which we eat in this house very often.   I know we had that BBQ Beef Pie last week.  The week before I had made this French Onion Cottage Pie for a supper one night and it was fabulous.  I used my slow cooker and cooked the beef overnight so that it was fork tender, and the gravy...

Apple and Cranberry Baked Oatmeal

Sunday, 24 January 2016

Source: care2.com via Dawn on Pinterest When I was a child I was not overly fond of oatmeal . . . not for breakfast or any other time . . . unless it was baked into cookies . . . then I could be gently persuaded to eat it.  I wasn't eating cooked oatmeal for love nor money.  It was just not my cup of...

Saturday, 23 January 2016

Have you ever had a day when you really didn't feel like cooking at all, or even doing much of anything???

BBQ Beef Croissant Pie

Friday, 22 January 2016

When my kids were growing up I used to make these little biscuit cups for them called BBQ Biscuit Cups.   They were really simple and very delicious, but it did make a lot.   You pressed some biscuit dough into muffin cups and filled them with a BBQ Beef filling and topped with cheese prior to baking. ...

The Well Dressed Crock Pot

Wednesday, 20 January 2016

There are certain times of the week, month and year that my Crock Pot is my best friend and the most valued and used tool in my kitchen!  On Sundays when I know we are going to get home from church absolutely famished, it is such a simple thing to do to pop something into the crock pot before we leave, making sure...

Spicy Potato Tacos

Monday, 18 January 2016

There are two things in life which I really enjoy.  One is potatoes and the other is Mexican Food.  When I first moved over here to the UK, it was extremely difficult to get the ingredients to make Mexican anything.  I used to bring them back with me every time I went to Canada for a visit, or order them...

Sunday, 17 January 2016

 Todd is not overly fond of eating raw apples, but if you cook an apple, he is the first in line wanting to tuck  in!  He just loves baked apple desserts.   I had about half a jar of mincemeat that needed using up  in the refrigerator and I also had some apples that had seen better days...

Welcome, I'm Marie

Welcome, I'm Marie
Canadian lover of all things British. I cook every day and like to share it with you!
A third of my life was spent living in the UK. I learned to love the people, the country and the cuisine. I have always been an Anglophile. You will find plenty of traditional British recipes here in my English Kitchen. There are lots of North American recipes also, but then again, I am a Canadian by birth. I like to think of my page as a happy mix of both. If you are looking for something and cannot find it, don't be afraid to ask! I am always happy to help and point you in the right direction, even if it exists on another page, or in one of my many cookbooks.
