Mega Veggie Burgers, Garden Salad & Basil Dressing

Tofu is a brilliant carrier of flavors, plus it's high in protein, low in saturated fat, and a great source of calcium and phosphorus, both of which make for strong and healthy bones.

Curried Beef Patties

The pressures of making dinner after a busy workday and long commute leave little time in the evenings for Gail and Amber to spend together. These patties freeze well, so making them together on the weekend is a great way to share quality time and free up weeknights. To complete the meal, add a green salad and yogurt with fruit for dessert.

Fish & Chips (with mushy peas)

If ever there was a British national dish, this has to be it. Loved from John O’Groats to Land’s End, fish and chips is the perfect Friday night supper.
 

A fisherman’s tale

In mid-19th-century Britain, the worlds of Irish immigrants – with their potato dominated diet – and Jewish fried fish vendors collided, and a national dish was born, spawning countless chippies on high streets and seaside piers up and down the land. About a quarter of all white fish and 10 per cent of the potatoes now sold in Britain are sold in fish and chip shops. Not to mention the pickled onions and eggs, curry sauce and mushy peas that go with them.

Meatball Lasagna

The ingredient list may look long, but the techniques are straightforward and the results well worth the effort.

The Ultimate Poutine

The best part about this classic poutine? The gravy is made using store-bought broth, so you don't have to make your own. With a few added aromatics, it has all the intense, meaty flavour of homemade. If you're really pressed for time, use frozen fries and be done in about 30 minutes.

Grilled Mushroom-Stuffed Pork Loin

Pair up these two Ontario products for a spectacular rolled and barbecued roast. Buy a few of each mushroom - button, cremini, shiitake (use caps only) and oyster - for the stuffing. Wrapping the roast in bacon imparts smoky flavour and keeps the meat moist. It would be hard to deny that bacon makes everything taste better.

Whole Wheat Cinnamon Buns

Inspired by the famous cinnamon buns of Winnipeg's Tall Grass Prairie Bread Company, which celebrates Manitoba's agricultural wealth by using local grains and ingredients in its many offerings, these cinnamon buns are made “virtuous” by the addition of whole wheat flour. If you prefer your buns glazed, mix 1-1/4 cups icing sugar with 2 tbsp milk and drizzle over buns while still hot.

Everything Bagels

You don’t have to trek to the nearest bakery to enjoy a great bagel. Try this recipe and you may never want to purchase these delicious classics again!

Beef Burgers With Guacamole & Horseradish Mayo

This juicy burger is grilled to perfection and topped with homemade horseradish mayo, guacamole and pickled red onion, as well as all your favourite fixings, for an elevated burger experience you didn’t know you were missing.

Bakewell Tart

Moist, almond-flavoured sponge with a tangy layer of jam and soft, buttery pastry makes this traditional tart a wonderful treat served warm or cold.

Some say the Bakewell tart (or pudding, to give it its original name) was created by accident when, in 1820, a cook poured egg mixture on top of jam, making a tart instead of a pudding. However, other sources say it hails from a 15th-century dish called "flathon," which was either a rich custard over a candied-fruit base, or made with ground almonds, sugar and spice. In its birthplace, Bakewell, you'll still find it sold under the name "pudding."
