thekitchenman Cabbage Rolls. There are so many versions of this item that almost every country has a tried to stuff a cabbage leaf all of which use the same assembly method!

Spud Nut’s

Spud Nut’s

This little demon is called a Spud Nut. My Aunt Marie made these at the cottage the night before. Don’t drink any of this buttermilk in the fridge she would say. That meant pancakes or donuts were going to had next morning. Soon as the dishes were all done and the men playing cards, my aunt would be planning breakfast and doing the prep. When there are 10 mouths to feed at the cottage, it’s great that the simple ingredients like flour and sugar, a few spices, butter and eggs were the foundations to so many home comfort recipes. Don’t even look at these...

Wayne Conrad Serbu · 18h  Spaces. Chicken Ala King. This is one of my favorite comfort food meals.

You can pick one up at most deli counters and grocery stores. Leftovers warm up easily right on the stovetop. Chicken a la King is a delicious mix of tender...

One of the most requested items at the old Knotty Pine Kofe Bar where I worked were the buttermilk scones that were made fresh each day by the hundreds. These flaky light biscuits were topped with tuna salad,...
Angus Beef Belly Brisket Bacon BLT.

Angus Beef Belly Brisket Bacon BLT.

  I like to shop for a good beef brisket with just the right amount of marble fat and lean. I first prepare a nice brine using my mix of pickling spices kosher salt, syrup, cider vinegar. After soaking in the brine for a few days I give it several baths in cold water before heading to the bbq smoker. I first smoke it whole low and slow for 9 hours to get a nice smoke ring and maple flavour. for the last hour I use a hand full of maple sugar in this rub for a wee bit more maple sweetness during this final smoke. Once the brisket has been fully cooked I let it rest to...
