Spaghetti squash, so named because its flesh comes apart in long strands when cooked, gets dressed up in an easy way for a satisfying side dish.
I like to prepare this in my crockpot and take it to my daughters home for a week night dinner. They get to come home to a home cook meal and I get to sit down and enjoy it with them. I serve it in big bowls and have hot crispy rolls to eat with it. It's a perfect dish for the winter months, a great comfort food.
Caroline Gray of Pointe-Claire, Que., won accolades and first place with her Mexican-inspired recipe. Corn flour, which is finer than the usual cornmeal and closer to the texture of all-purpose flour, gives the bread its soft, appealing texture. It's available in grocery stores.
This is a wonderful late summer or early fall recipe using fresh vegetables and berries, with the added touch of our local dark rum and truly Canadian maple syrup. You can vary the vegetables depending on what is available at the time, just use about a half pound of vegetables per person. Also, we like the tarragon, but a combination of fresh herbs could be used with the vegetables. This recipe will serve 6 ? 8 people. Easy to prepare,it is fancy enough for company but simple enough and quick enough for a family supper. Because the vegetables and roast cook together and the sauce it quick, it can be cooking while you enjoy your company. Begin by preparing the pork and vegetables and then while they are cooking, prepare the barbeque sauce.
Sure to be a big hit with kids, these great big meatballs have fabulous flavour and taste even better the next day. You might want to make a double batch and freeze half for later.

When it's on sale, try trout or salmon as an alternative to sole. Serve with Whole Grain Rice with Broccoli which is rich in nutrients and fibre.
