Recently engaged, born in Canada moved to Scotland in May 2007 to be with my hubby to be. After doing a year long baking and pastry arts course, i decided professional baking was not my apptitude, so I just stick to home baking and cooking. I work in a local cinema, and I hope to start my own business of running a bed and breakfast one day. Stews, soups, cakes, my new best friend is the George Foreman grill. Great for low fat meat and burgers. We do a mean Canada Day BBQ, homemade burgers( beef and turkey), hotdogs, coleslaw, potato/pasta/caesar salads, chips and dip, and strawberry shortcake for the dessert. Then we all go down to the park to watch fireworks. I made my mom and dad a dinner of pork glazed with a lemon and maple syrup sauce, garlic roasted potatoes and green beans. Then a made from scratch lemon merengue pie for dessert. Made scalloped potatoes for a romantic Christmas day dinner. I made the layers too thick and after an hour of baking, the potatoes were still raw, while the cheese topping was burnt to a crisp. But the ham I did more than made up for it.
