Jac marinated chicken marylands with barbecue seasoning, then baked them in the oven.

Last month, Jac, my sister Juji and her boyfriend Jay went to dinner at Divido Italian restaurant in Mount Hawthorn to celebrate Jay’s birthday. Divido’s been on our list of restaurants to check out ever since the Largesse Dining event in May. That night, the third course was the porcini and spinach rotolo by Jason […]
Jac grilled pork chops and onions for dinner. She simply cut the onions in half before placing them under the grill next to large, juicy pork chops. She served the pork and onions with a simple salad of cos lettuce, green beans, mandarins and strawberries. I love pork chops! I ate my chop with lashings […]
Jac made savoury pancakes filled with chicken and mushroom for dinner. They were tasty! I love pancakes and would happily eat them every week, savoury or sweet. Or savoury AND sweet – as you know, one of my favourite combos of all time is pancakes with bacon and maple syrup. What do you like to […]

Dinner: corned beef with mustard sauce and vegetables Jac cooked a chunk of corned beef (sometimes called silverside) for dinner recently. I think my US readers will know this as boiled beef brisket.

Jac made meatloaf for dinner and served it with sauteed vegetables (cabbage, onion, mushroom, zucchini, green beans and peas) and garlic mashed potatoes. Jac knows I love meatloaf that has hard-boiled egg in the centre, so when she makes meatloaf she always makes sure to include the hard-boiled egg. I love the tomato sauce glaze […]
