Centre-cut ribs, sometimes labelled pork Chinese spareribs, are perfect for appetizers because they are easy to pick up and eat in two bites.
The introduction to these glossy, packed-with-goodies cookies reads: "Wakeup feettofloor grabcookie outthedoor. PS - don't forget shoes" The recipe originated in the Kid Approved Cookbook, launched by the Kids Eat Smart Foundation of Newfoundland and Labrador.
This is something our family makes once a year. It's our Christmas tradition. I like to make it for special occasions if I'm having friends over for dinner other times of the year too. Our friends and family just can't get enough of them. I have yet to find store bought perogies that compare to these ones. Once you try these, you may never go back. This recipe really didnt fit into any of your catagories, but it is one of those awesome home cooked meals all my family and friend rave about.
These eggs are a twist on classic crisped rice bars, and they’re as fun to make as they are to eat.
These flourless pancakes taste a bit like the centre of a piece of French toast. Fry up a batch (or two!) on the weekend and keep the wrapped pancakes in your fridge or freezer for an easy microwaveable breakfast you'll actually want to eat.
These cupcakes are our best bake sale solution: They're nut-, egg- and dairy-free, and almost too pretty to eat! What's more, they taste great, making them a fast favourite for kids and grown-ups alike.
The absolute beauty of this meal is that it is what everyone I know loves: rustic, satisfying, easy to make, un-pretentious but so incredibly delicious that every single person I've ever made it for has requested a 'repeat performance' just days later! I think it's the perfect thing to serve for a casual night of entertaining- serve it with some great red wine (may I suggest a lovely Cabernet Sauvingnon?) and some balsamic & honey dressed arugula. This menu is condusive to a chilled out night full of great conversation and laughter with people you love. I definitely created it for the people I love!
I am very excited about entering my recipe in the 2009 Canadian Living Cook of the Year Contest. I am an avid home-cook and love creating new and exciting home recipes to make for my family and friends. I am a firm believer in seasonal cooking, using the freshest ingredients available, and making use of local ingredients whenever possible. Consequently, I was delighted to see that this year's contest was to feature Canadian ingredients. I wanted to take things a step further and include some local Newfoundland ingredients. Newfoundland and Labrador has some wonderful producers for fresh, often organic, produce, seafood and meat products...and of course the island is well known for it's abundance of wild berries. Berry picking is a provincial past-time in late summer and early fall and many families, including my own, can be found on the hillsides or barrens, bent over and collecting gallons of sweet, juicy berries to be used fresh, or to be frozen for use during the long winter months. I knew as soon as I read about this year's contest that I wanted to feature these berries, along with our wonderful, locally-raised lamb and artfully crafted local wines, in my recipe. I hope you enjoy a taste of Newfoundland!
