Fresh Pumpkin Pie
This classic pie uses sugar, or pie, pumpkins, which are abundant in the fall. They are much smaller than jack-o'-lantern pumpkins; one average-size sugar pumpkin will yield enough purée for just a single pie.

Bubbly and golden Canadian Monterey Jack and Feta cheeses top this quick-to-assemble chicken casserole. Very family-friendly, it's sure to become a regular in your weekly repertoire. Serve over rice or pasta to make the best use of the flavourful sauce.
This is a great way to introduce tofu to skeptical family members. Extra-firm tofu cubes don't fall apart when you fry them. You can top each serving with grated Monterey Jack cheese, chopped green onions and sour cream and serve with a green salad and corn bread.
Thin pork chops topped with a crispy cheese mix are irresistible. Canadian Mushroom Oka cheese gives another layer of flavour but you also could use plain Canadian Oka Classic, an aged Canadian Gouda or old Canadian Cheddar cheese. Or try another flavoured cheese, such as Canadian cumin-flecked Gouda or Canadian Pepper Jack.
From our book and video, Fast-Fix 5 Ingredient Cooking (Robert Rose Inc., 1997), here is a delicious vegetarian burger. Experiment with various toppings: diced avocado, shredded romaine lettuce, or Monterey Jack or fontina cheese. Mild or medium salsa is plenty hot, especially when salsa is not just a condiment but the central ingredient.
Sweet juicy peaches are the Test Kitchen's most eagerly awaited fruit of the summer. Use firm, ripe local peaches for the best flavour and texture. With only a hint of spice, this chutney is a perfect condiment for cheese, pâté or grilled meat. To jack up the heat, increase the jalapeños to your liking.
This pork shoulder roast is braised in a zesty tomato sauce, but instead of slicing it, you shred it to serve on buns or in tortillas with sliced avocado, shredded Cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese and a squeeze of lime. This makes enough for 12 to 16 sandwiches, so it's a good party dish.
When you add up the grams of fat in a taco salad of chili, fried tortilla bowl, full-fat cheese and sour cream, it comes to about 50 g. Our version features light Monterey Jack cheese, which is flavourful with 43 per cent less fat than the regular. And this salad is so delicious that you won't even miss the sour cream.
You can serve this to guests for a fun card game night or for an elegant dinner party
