Thai Mussels

Cooked with garlic and hot pepper flakes, this vegetarian rapini dish will surely please at the dinner table. Serve as an appetizer or side dish to complement your main course meal.
A plentiful array of grilled vegetables is just right for a crowd. You can cook the vegetables early in the day to free up the barbecue for the burgers or other items that residents contribute.
This deep purple blend is as delicious to look at as it is to drink. Wash the beets well (including the greens if using) and leave the skin on.
Any brown ale will do for this marinade, but dry stout has a wonderful toasty, coffeelike flavour that lends itself well to the grill. Serve with grilled potato wedges and corn.
These brandy-scented apricot treats are perfect for elegant entertaining, but they're also a nice alternative to a Danish pastry for a holiday brunch. You'll appreciate how easy they are to make almost as much as you'll enjoy eating them. If the dried apricots are especially moist, you may have brandy remaining in the bowl after microwaving. If so, strain it and reserve for another use (such as adding to your coffee!).
Sandi Fiolka of Okotoks, Alta., just loves cookies – reading about them, planning to make them, shopping for ingredients, baking them and especially eating them!
