This is a quick treat that kids and adults can assemble at the last minute. To achieve the best bat-like wings, break (rather than cut) the cookies in half to create a ragged edge. You need exactly one package of chocolate wafer cookies, so check closely at the grocery store to make sure none of them are broken.
Hearty kale replaces spinach in this modern twist on a pub favourite. Serve with crackers and fresh veggies.
Bow tie pasta, or farfalle, works great in this quick dinner because the ridges and holes hold the rich, creamy sauce. Penne, rotini and fusilli pasta would also be wonderful in this dish.
This pizza is a great way to use up any leftover roast beef from the weekend, but it also works well with 1/4-inch (5 mm) thick slices of roast beef from any grocery store deli. Splurge on the best-quality deli roast beef for ultra-tender pieces.
This nutty cheese ball is always a crowd-pleaser, is easy to throw together and can be made the day before! The garlic toasted pita chips make it even more delicious.
These cheesecakes are the perfect first course to serve with Roasted Red Pepper Coulis.
Bubbly cheese dip with chunks of crabmeat is a retro throwback that's bound to be a hit. While not overwhelmingly spicy, this dip has kick; for less heat, seed the chilies or substitute with diced sweet red pepper.
Make this rich, creamy spread ahead of time to allow the mushroom flavours to develop. Use any combination of wild mushrooms you can find—or, in a pinch, opt for cremini mushrooms. Serve at room temperature with crackers or toast points.
