RACK OF LAMB FOR A VERY SPECIAL OCCASION

Roast rack of lamb is Doug’s favorite “special” dinner. This recipe is quite easy to prepare and is 99.9% mistake-proof. The lamb sauce is easy but it does need to simmer for about 2 1/2 to 3 hours so make sure you start that early enough. A rack of lamb has 8 ribs and serves…

ROAST FILET OF BEEF WITH MADEIRA SAUCE

This entree is so much fun because it is so easy to make and the sauce has a most velvety, mellow flavor. People will think you spent hours preparing  this…HA…HA…  Fooled them again huh? I’ve tried many different  veggies with this but I think that baby buttered carrots go the best. Therefore, the sauce and…

AUNT LOU’S PARTY TACO MEAT

UNCLE BILL’S SCRUMPTIOUS SPARE RIBS

Uncle Bill’s weekend haven is the kitchen. Yes, Uncle Bill, the secret is out*** He is indeed, folks, a weekend closet cook! The first step to the success of “cooking a la Uncle Bill” though, and very possibly the main ingredient to any of his recipes, is a quick jaunt to the store for 2-3…

FILLET OF SOLE A LA DULGERE

When I first looked at this recipe, it looked quite complicated not to mention a little intimidating to me but it sounded so good that I had to try it. However, I sometimes have trouble remembering my name or how to work my microwave so… I beg you to try it. It’s worth every single…

GRILLED SALMON PARTY *

We’ve turned into real fishermen while living here in Milwaukee, thanks to my wonderful brother-in-law, Lloyd, and his even more wonderful  friend, John (John lives across the street from Lloyd and owns a beautiful  fishing boat).  A couple of years ago, they invited us to meet them in Door County, Wisconsin, about 3 hours north…

HALIBUT CHEZ MOOERS

We particularly like to grill fish as we think that it adds a nice flavor to fish. This sauce recipe is not exclusively  for halibut. You can use it for any light flavored fish: sole, whitefish, orange roughy, swordfish  etc. The sauce can also be used when baking the fish in the oven or when…

RANCH-STYLE CHICKEN

I’m personally, not crazy about “BBQ” sauce like “Open Pit” etc. For those of you who have seen what happens to chicken on the grill when the BBQ sauce has turned into the color of the briquettes, you probably know what I mean. With this recipe, you will never have to eat black chicken again….
