Hello from beautiful Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia where my husband and I are livin' the good life on the beautiful Mira River. In our retirement years it is almost always just the two of us at our table. That’s ok with us, we still love each others company. Whether you are a sometimes home cook, an everyday home cook, cooking for one, two, four or more, the recipes I decided to share in this book were chosen for their simplicity and easily accessible ingredients. These are tried and true recipes. I’ve made all of them and believe they are easy enough to prepare and I hope, make you proud to serve.
