Crunchy on the outside, these cookies pack a surprise centre of a chocolate macaroon candy from Neilson. You will need one 145 g package, or buy 1 cup (250 mL) at the bulk food store.
Turbinado sugar is raw light brown sugar with a delicate molasses flavour. You can also dip the tops of the cookies in turbinado sugar before baking for a sparkly finish.
Finding a breakfast that gives you a boost and keeps you going until lunch can be tricky. Getting the right amounts of fast-burning energy (carbohydrates) and lasting energy (protein and fat) is key to striking the perfect balance. These whole grain waffles made with protein-rich Greek yogurt and topped with nutritious berries and more yogurt will start the day off right.
Pairing fruits is a great way to show off different flavours. For longevity, don't wash raspberries until you use them; just sort them and refrigerate as soon as possible.
Ripe, succulent peaches are superb for eating fresh, but there is nothing more appetizing than a peach pie. Not loving the peach fuzz? Peel the peaches for a more refined filling.
Although oyster mushrooms have nothing to do with the dried oysters used to make oyster sauce, they are a lovely addition to the classic beef in oyster sauce. For extra spice, add a pinch or more of cayenne pepper to the beef marinade or increase the hot peppers. Green or red finger chilies are traditionally used in China, but jalape?are very nice, too.
These rustic S-shaped cornmeal cookies are a delicious change of pace from traditional sweet cookies. The cornmeal gives them a pleasant crunch that goes well with a cup of tea. Dust them with icing sugar, if desired.
