GRANPA LOVED HIS CIAMELLA BUNS

 Adolph loved a ciamella bun with his coffee every morning.

They are tasty with the anise flavour. If a little hard a quick 20 second buzz in the microwave can soften them.

They freeze well too. So buying several and having them available is always a good thing.

GRANPA LOVED TO MAKE COMFORT FOOD-HOMEMADE PASTA WITH MEAT SAUCE IS ONE OF THEM

 One of Adolph's favourite meals was homemade egg noodle pasta with a meat sauce.

His meals were not gourmet. Just good home cooking.

I miss seeing him cook. 

This was the last batch we made together in November 2018.

On a cold winter day, a good plate of pasta is so comforting.

GRANPA MADE GOOD STIR FRY AND STUFFED RED PEPPERS

Bean sprout stir fry with chicken and carrots was a good quick easy meal that Adolph made.

I love red peppers so when Adolph made stuffed red peppers it was a hit. Simple with some ground beef, onion, diced garlic and bread crumbs with a touch of olive oil as stuffing inside the cleaned red pepper. Bake in medium heat oven until done.  I still make some stuffed red peppers occasionally.

 

Then combining the stir fry with stuffed peppers was always a good meal.

If a special occasion topping it off with cake like for a January birthdays.

 What a comfort meal!!

GRANPA MADE SOUPS IN JANUARY- TIME TO WARM THE SOUL

 Oh how I miss Adolph's soup.

The aroma in the house. 

With fresh buns or bread or toasted garlic bread always a hit.

• A warm soup on the stove in a large pot. More than enough for one meal. 
• I used to take some to work. It always made for a good lunch.

GRANPA LOVED A NEW YEAR'S MEAL- SURF AND TURF

 So for New Year's Day I will have a lobster tail and steak.

One of Adolph's favourites.

With a little garlic bread of course.

Such a classic New Year's meal.

I know I will enjoy mine today.
