Bocconcini Chicken Burgers

Grinding chicken thighs for this burger, rather than using the already-ground chicken, gives the best flavour and texture. A Caprese salad topping of Bocconcini cheese, tomatoes and basil adds a fresh kick.

Cracker Catfish with Swiss Chard

Caramel Coconut Blondies

 Keep the blondies in the pan to overwrap and take to your bake sale. 

Gobble Pops

These pops make an adorable edible centrepiece on your Thanksgiving table. Small gingersnap thins fit neatly in a measuring cup; if you're using bigger cookies, break them into 1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces to fit in the cup. To make the crumbs, pulse the cookies in a food processor, or put them in a plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin, until they're crumbly but not powdery.

Tomato Sweet Onion Crisp

Ripe, red and juicy, hothouse tomatoes don't have to wait to be kissed by the summer sun. Baking them as in this side dish only intensifies their flavour. Vidalia and Spanish onions are sweet onions.

Baked Apples with Amaretto Crunch and Creme Anglaise

Comfy Mac and Cheese

A smaller amount of light old Cheddar-style cheese adds flavour with less fat than a larger amount of mild cheese.

Meat Loaf Burgers

Delight your family with burgers that capture the flavour of meat loaf. You can further enhance the treat by topping with shredded mozzarella or Cheddar cheese and gilding the lily even further with  Cooked Brandied Mushrooms. Serve on onion buns.

Reuben Burgers

Dill pickles and thick-cut potato chips are the perfect accoutrements for this European-deli-inspired burger. Serve on pumpernickel buns or kaiser rolls.
