Day 96: Spinach and Ricotta Cannelloni...



It was one of those days when you look into the fridge to see what you’ve got.  I had a container of ricotta cheese that I didn’t use on a pizza night, and mused over what to do with it.
There was only one thought that popped into my mind.
Cannelloni.


Now before you go thinking that this is too fancy for the average cook to make, don’t kid yourself.  It’s easy, and faster to make than you’d think, which is good, because it’s a darn tasty and fancy looking meal.  The prep time is under an hour, and cooking time is about the same.  Consider it a weekend, or Friday night meal to make, but the leftovers you’ll have are so worth it.
Enjoy...

Day 95: Butter Scotch Ice Cream...



This decadent ice cream is purely for those who appreciate a good scotch.  So infused with a good dram it is that when you lift a spoonful to your lips, you’ll swear you are cradling a glass full of the liquid gold under your chin.

Day 94: Savage’s Own Hamburger Patty...


Over the years I’ve made a lot of scratch built hamburgers to varying degrees of success.  After all that time I’ve come to one conclusion when making a good hamburger, and that is to keep the filler light.  A few spices and sauces in small amounts and leave it alone.
Overload it and you lose the flavour of the beef.  So although the list of ingredients is long, and looks like a contradiction to what I’ve just said, the actual volume is low.
Did I mention it’s ridiculously fast to make?  Just mix it all at once in a bowl, make your patties and sear them over the barbecue.  In minutes you’ll be having burgers that kick ass, and have your guests asking if they can come by more often.
Enjoy.

Day 93: Peanut Butter Noodles...


As an avid runner on a busy schedule, there are times when I need a fast snack loaded with carbs to get me through the next workout.  This recipe, Peanut Butter Noodles, is not only a lightning fast snack, but a tasty indulgence.
Peanut butter and noodles just seem to go so well together that I can’t help but keep mixing them!
