Fettuccine with Herbed Pesto, Kale, Shiitake Mushrooms, Goat Cheese and Toasted Pine Nuts

Fettuccine with Herbed Pesto, Kale, Shiitake Mushrooms, Goat Cheese and Toasted Pine Nuts

May 7, 2009

My fettuccine is a flavourful dish packed with healthy ingredients, and is a perfect vegetarian entree. The dish will be served hot, all except for the goat cheese that will be added at the end, only to allow it to slowly melt on top. I have been a vegetarian for about 6 years now, and I have never felt better. I love to research various local farmers in the Niagara Region, and buy fresh ingredients. I decided on this dish by researching in-season produce for November when the contest will published in the Canadian Living Magazine. Mushrooms came up, and kale is such a healthy green that along with the pine nuts and goat cheese, this entree is packed with protein and fiber.

Cornish Game Hen with Maple, Ginger and Cranberries

Cornish Game Hen with Maple, Ginger and Cranberries

May 12, 2009

This recipe is an homage to slow cooking, fine Canadian ingredients and a nod towards the 100 km diet. On a fall or winter's afternoon, I love braising so that my house is redolent that my guests know that they are in for a mouth-watering treat when they walk through the front door. Although this recipe calls for Cornish hens, chicken breasts or legs may be substituted. This dish and sauce makes a great companion with mashed potatoes or wild rice and a vegetable. Green beans with either crumbled goat cheese or toasted slivered almonds makes a great side dish. I have an excellent side dish, Shiitakes and Manitoba wild rice that I would love to submit along with the Cornish hens. However your contest only permits one entry per contestant. For a stunning presentation, plate on either a white or light coloured dish. Garnish with fresh herbs (like thyme used in the recipe or minced flat leaf parsley). This can go easily well with either a white or red wine (e.g. an oaked Chardonnay, or lighter red - both Canadian, of course).

Mushroom Soup Cheese Melts

Mushroom Soup Cheese Melts

Apr 16, 2010

My dad is quite creative in the kitchen and a fantastic chef...and always comes up with fancy delicacies as well as some strange but delicious meals when we were kids. On a whim when we needed a quick lunch, he whipped this together for us. Although this isn't the most calorie wise meal, it is quick and easy and a nostalgic reminder of my childhood. My brothers and I used to make these Mushroom Soup Cheese Melts all the time! Our friends would be skeptical at first, but once they tried them, they loved them too and would always ask for them! If you like mushroom soup and cheese, you will love these too. Try them out, you will be surprised! :)

Cheddar and Chive Potatoes

This side dish is a family recipe on my husband's side. It steals the show from the ham or turkey every time we have them. My Mother in law created this potato masterpiece that I call "Cheddar and Chive Potatoes" I believe it is best served as part of a turkey or ham dinner. Will also work with roasts as well. Enjoy!
