Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Banana Pancakes

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.

Cheeseburger Spring Rolls

East meets West in these tasty little bites. We've doubled up on the spring roll wrappers, which provides extra crunch and prevents the filling from bursting out.
Processed cheese may seem like a strange choice, but it adds a creamy texture and the signature cheeseburger taste. Serve the rolls warm, with ketchup and mustard for dipping.

Chocolate Almond Tartlets

You can use mini (1-1/4- x 3/4-inch/3 x 2 cm) muffin cups instead of fluted tart pans if you prefer.

Beet, Goat Cheese & Walnut Tart

Butter Tart Ice Cream

Chunks of buttery shortbread and a sweet butterscotch ripple make this ice cream taste just like Canada's favourite tart. If you like raisins or pecans in your butter tarts, swirl a small handful into the ice cream when you add the butterscotch and the cookies.

Cannelloni

This is my favorite recipe when company comes. Many of the steps can be done a day or two ahead of time which leaves you more time with your guests.

Speedy Mini Lasagnas

We've achieved a 30-minute version of family-favourite lasagna by breaking the noodles into bite-size pieces, stirring the ingredients together and broiling them in serving-size ramekins. You get all the cheesy, hearty flavours of lasagna, without the time-consuming process of layering.

Lebkuchen Cutout Cookies

These invitingly spicy glazed German cookies, which can be baked ahead, are what many holiday cooks like best. Roll and cut out rectangles, fun gingerbread folk, trees, stars, or — in the northern European holiday tradition — hearts.

Linda's Home-Style Baked Macaroni

Baked macaroni is one of our Sunday dishes that we serve with stewed chicken or beef, rice, stewed red beans and potato salad. This will stick to your bones and you won't be hungry too quickly thereafter. Baked macaroni is definitely a tasty comfort food that all ages will love. Best served hot and leftovers are just as good. For those who are lactose intolerant, omit the can of evaporated milk and substitute with 1/2 cup of chicken broth. You must also increase the amount of breadcrumbs by 1/4 cup. Don't use too much broth as the mixture will not bind together. Any Canadian marbled cheese and parmesan cheese can be used.

Mini Chocolate Dutch Babies

Since these Dutch baby pancakes are miniature and made in a muffin pan, they're an easy addition to any meal.
