This recipes parboils the potatoes which allows for the lemon juice to easily absorb prior to roasting. They have a nice lemony flavour.

Chocolate Dipped Strawberries




These are so easy to make and will get gobbled up in no time. I like to use a Toblerone chocolate bar as the little crunchy toffee bits add a nice touch. The trick is to thoroughly dry the strawberries after washing them. The chocolate melts nicely in the microwave and then it is just a matter of dipping. If you have any leftover chocolate grab some bananas, call the family and dip every last bit of the chocolate up. I also use the Toblerone for chocolate fondue.

Nestle Original Toll House Cookies (Chocolate chip Cookies)


I have been making this recipe for the last 25 years, I found the recipe in the Edmonton Journal. I have read that Ruth Graves Wakefield invented the original chocolate chip cookie. She owned the Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts, hence the name, which was a very popular eatery in the 1930's. She also wrote a popular cook book called "Tried and True Recipes".
These cookies are great with a big glass of milk!
