Home of the Famous Banana Dog!!

Welcome to Kath's Kitchen featured on The Retirement Show - the best years of our lives, on CFOS 560 each month with co-hosts Bob and Kathryn Durant.

When Bob announced his semi-retirement and left the morning show host slot, we knew that we were about to undergo many changes as he tranisitioned from full time to occasional work (I joined the semi-retired ranks too!).

Thus The Retirement Show was conceived and launched with the premiere show on Tuesday May 28, 2013.

We are delighted to be back for a 3rd year and welcome back our sponsor CanEVA. Barbara Kay will be a a regular guest over the next several months to discuss the importance of Elk Velvet Antler as a safe, natural remedy that relieves joint pain and promotes bone, muscle and cartilage growth, among other things.

The show will feature a number of lively topics ranging from lifestyle, finances, health, travel, entertainment and all of the other issues facing today's 50+ generation. As is our style, there will be lots of kibitzing and fun along the way.

We will spend some time in Kath's Kitchen and will share an easy peasy recipe from our favourites with you, endorsed, of course, by Gracie our resident "sous chef" ... and golden retriever.

The latest recipe is shown below. To view and print archived recipes click on the triangle next to the month of your choice in the archive list on the right side of the screen. Next, click on the recipe of your choice. When it opens into the text area below just choose print from the File menu.

We hope you enjoy this new chapter of Durant's World and will tune in. Join us this year on April 21, May 19, June 23, July 21, August 18, September 22, October 20, November 17 and December 15. Every show is repeated the following Saturday at 2:00pm.

Enjoy and thanks for listening!.

BON APPÉTIT!

Turkey Jasmine Rice Meatballs

Serves 4-6

1 cup water
⅓ cup uncooked jasmine rice
¼ cup dry breadcrumbs
¼ cup chopped green onions
¾ tsp. salt
¼ tsp freshly ground pepper
1¼ lbs ground turkey
2 large egg whites
1 garlic clove, minced
Cooking Spray


1 Bring 1 cup of water to a boil in a small saucepan. Stir in jasmine rice, reduce heat, and simmer 15 minutes or until rice is almost tender. Drain; cool. Combine rice, breadcrumbs and next 6 ingredients. Shape mixture into 18 meatballs.
2 Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add meatballs; cook 5 minutes, browning on all sides. Cover, reduce heat to medium, and cook 10 minutes or until done, turning often (NOTE: I always cook a little longer to make sure they are done).

3 Once the meatballs are cooked, I add some bottled Teriyaki sauce (I use Golden Dragon brand – available in most supermarkets) over the meatballs and heat through for approx. 1 minute.

4 Serve over jasmine rice (cooked separately from the rice that is added to the meatballs).

Steamed bok choy makes a nice accompaniment.


BON APPÉTIT!
