Raclette Casserole

A Swiss dish, raclette is simply cheese melted by the fire then usually scraped onto potatoes. This delicious casserole version comes from The Raclette Restaurant in Toronto. Swiss-type cheeses, such as Emmenthal can be substituted for Oka cheese. If desired, add 1 cup (250 mL) cubed baked ham. Round out the meal with a tossed green salad, pickled gherkins and pearl onions.

Chicken and Rice Soup

Create a flavourful, intense broth using a whole chicken, then use it in a hearty soup for dinner. Serve with whole grain bread and a tossed salad. Use extra chicken and soup for sandwiches and soup lunches during the week.

Marmalade Pork Tenderloin

The tangy marmalade sauce over pork tenderloin is the perfect combination for this quick and easy weeknight dinner.

I have made this for home and for pot lucks at work and it is always a hit...it is like stuffed baked potatoes in a soup (I didn't add bacon this time but have before and it was great...)

Quick Chunky Tomato Sauce

Spoon this handy tomato sauce over Three-Cheese Polenta Pie, into lasagna or over pasta with a grate or two of cheese.
