Our Creamy Herb & Feta Spread is inspired by the famous Green Goddess Salad Dressing. Here, we swapped mayonnaise for Greek yogurt and added feta cheese to make it the perfect consistency for spreading on sandwiches.
Dressed in a classic array of herbs that you'll find in your pantry, this turkey is one that your family can enjoy for years to come. To add even more herb flavour, we've added fresh sage to the gravy, but feel free to omit it, if desired.
This flavourful and elegant side dish is the perfect accompaniment to any roast. Fennel mellows as it cooks, adding just the right amount of aromatic sweetness to the final dish. Assemble the gratin the day before, leaving only the topping and baking to take care of prior to dinner.
This dish is a favorite at our home for entertaining - it is delicious, easy to make and guests are always impressed with the presentation (we bring the plank directly to the table and serve off of it!). My husband, who is currently serving in Afghanistan, was home on leave recently and it was his homecoming request for dinner! Since we are currently living in New Brunswick, we love that fresh atlantic salmon is readily available and the maple syrup here is some of the best in the world! In the spring time, I love to serve this dish with steamed fresh fiddleheads tossed in garlic butter and jasmine or basmati rice (or wild rice when we were living near Winnipeg). At other times of the year, I serve garlic sauteed spinach. If you aren't a curry lover, just leave it out and the dish is still great! Cedar planked Salmon is fantastic on the grill but can also be prepared in the oven. Enjoy!!
Quiche is a menu workhorse. You can even freeze it to rewarm when needed.
Cheesy, creamy broccoli soup is a family-friendly dish that's a great way to get kids to eat their veggies. The crispy Cheddar croutons add a satisfying crunch. For a lighter finish, replace the sour cream with Greek yogurt.
Janice Beaton loves good cheese, which led her to open Janice Beaton Fine Cheese just three years ago in Calgary. Besides the large selection of carefully chosen Canadian and European cheeses and other fine-food products, the store also widely promotes local products, such as organically grown heirloom-seed tomatoes. Recent and popular additions to the store are in-house prepared frozen foods, the most in-demand item being this macaroni and cheese, made with blends of cheese from the store. Beaton always likes to include a sharp and tangy cheese in the mix for extra flavour and combines at least two different cheeses, although she says using all old Cheddar or Gruyère will make a fine dish, too. She encourages you to experiment with favourite cheeses; just remember to use ones that melt well.
