S'mores Thumbprints

Gooey marshmallows and melted dark chocolate give these soft thumbprint cookies the irresistible flavour of the classic campfire treat. Don't worry if the marshmallows seem too big for the cookies at first—they'll puff up and fall to just the right size in the oven.

Cheese and Herb Gluten-Free Sandwich Bread

Thyme adds incredible depth of flavour to all sorts of dishes. Here, it's a fragrant partner to sharp Cheddar in the middle and on top of a delicious loaf.

Spatchcock Chicken With Mustard-Glazed Parsnips and Crispy Kale

Cook a whole chicken in an hour? Definitely! Spatchcocking a chicken (or cutting it open so it lies flat) allows hot air to circulate around the meat more efficiently and shortens the cooking time by about one-third. To turn the crisp-edged kale into chips, simply bake it for a few more minutes until each piece is crisp all the way through.

Mini Turkey Meat Loaves With Herbed Potatoes

Make weeknight dinners fun (for adults and kids) with these veggie-packed, tomato sauce–topped mini meat loaves. Cooking your potatoes on the stove top with the help of a little steam gets dinner on the table more quickly. Steamed green beans make a nice veggie side dish.

Chocolate Espresso Torte

Cocoa powder gives this soft, fudgy cake deep colour and intense flavour. The cake may sink slightly in the centre. If this happens, just turn it over before garnishing with strawberries and chocolate syrup.

Harissa Meat Loaf With Coriander Mash

This lightly spiced meat loaf borrows flavours from North Africa. If you don't have couscous on hand, substitute 1/2 cup fresh bread crumbs. You'll find harissa, a fiery hot sauce, in Middle Eastern grocery stores and some supermarkets.

Orange Chicken Skewers & Sautéed Fennel

Chicken and Avocado Brown Rice Sushi Rolls

Sub in different vegetables depending on what you have in your crisper. Make sure to check the labels for the rice vinegar and tamari, because some brands contain gluten.

Crispy Breadsticks with Sea Salt and Sesame Seeds

Sea salt adds a burst of flavour to these breadsticks. Serve as a savoury appetizer or as a nibble anytime.

Spicy Asian Crab Noodle Salad

Eastern Canada is one of the main sources of sustainable snow crab in North America, with the bulk of the snow crab being harvested from the frigid waters of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. These crustaceans are often sold precooked and frozen in clusters of legs and arms. To thaw the clusters in a flash, place them under running cold water for about 10 minutes.
