Here is what is coming soon - Our cookbook!

We are writing a cookbook and are going to sell it with the proceeds going to the River Association in Cape Breton, NS. The Margaree Salmon Association.

I am using this BLOG to practice BLOGGING as well as to work on the cookbook.

Here is a link to that working blog!

This is what you can look forward to, and much more!

Appetizers
Crabmeat Dip
Cheese
French Bread
Fruits & Nuts

Breakfasts ( brunch)
Usually served after the morning fish & the water heats up.

Soups, Stews & Chili (the crockpot is my best friend)
Margaree Mushroom Soup

Main
Pork Loin
Whole Chicken or a Turkey
Lamb, Lamb and more lamb

No body has said SALMON!! We put them back anyway!

Veggies & Starches
Sweet potatoes
Long Grain or Brown Rice


Dessert- simple ones. Or complicated ones like pies if it is raining for a day and the river is too high!

Another Recipe - Creamy Chicken, Leak & Potato Stew

I would call it soup, but I'd rather have something with body and texture and not pureed. I think Justin would like this one. I went to the Farmers Market and bought the things there - except the potatoes, but they are from Maine too.

Shopping List:
7 Leeks ( or less if the bulbs are large)
3 T Butter
Minced Garlic (I use about 3 Tablespoons)
1 Large boneless and skinned chicken breast
Herbes Salee (if you have it)
Some leftover white wine if you have some (water if you dont)
2 Large washed and peeled Maine potatoes cubed.
Low Fat, low sodium chicken stock
1 Can evaporated milk

Chop Leeks and place in a slow cooking frying pan with about 3 TBLSPNs of butter.
Cook slowly, add as much garlic as you like. Continue cooking.

When the leeks are soft and the butter is melted, add some white wine if you have some, add salt pepper and herbes salee.

Add chopped chicken breast - I get a boneless one from Bob at Sunrise Acres Farm, all skinned and looking nice, wash it, pat it dry, cut it into small squares and put into frying pan.

Stir it into the frying pan and cook for about 15 minutes. Salt and pepper.
Add potatoes and stir.

Add chicken stock - about 2 cups.
Cook until it slowly boils.

Put in crock pot and add the evaporated milk.
Let cook slowly.

Since almost the ingredients have been cooked along the way as soon as it comes to temperature you can eat it. I like the crockpot because you dont have to babysit it or worry about the milk/cream (if you like it) turning over.

Add a little parsley when you serve it -- YUMMY!

Tonights Recipe and Tomorrow's Recycling!

There is a pork roast in my future. Having it for dinner. These are the ingredients:

Rosemary/Basil/Garlic/Spinach placed in cuts inside as well as in this stick thing my mom gave me for Christmas.

Roasted Sweet Potatoes & Shallots
Cider for basting
Asparagus with Hollandaise

No guests, just me cooking and relaxing

Okay, so I am in total emersion!

My New Years Resolution....
was to really focus on viral web marketing. And Thank God for some great people I work with, their never ending patience has been a real help. BUT I have to cut loose and just DO IT on my own and learn ON MY OWN. So I in my mid 40's and far from retiring. So I HAVE to learn this. Plus being a real networker type I feel like I am missing out on stuff and really quick. Things are happening so fast that I am dedicating several hours a week to get up to speed in an online sort of way. So bear with me, I started with myspace, which was a good way to really get feedback from people, I dont know how this will work, but I am trying it anyway!
