Caprese Pizza with Bacon

Inspired by a Caprese (meaning “of Capri”) salad, this pizza features its basics of tomato and mozzarella. Look for fresh mozzarella or bocconcini cheeses in sealed bags or tubs of water at deli counters. Be sure to dry them well.

BACON-WRAPPED ASPARAGUS BUNDLES

Bacon Cheddar Cornmeal Waffles

Serve with scrambled eggs, and roast some cherry tomatoes by sprinkling them with a little extra-virgin olive oil, salt and pepper and cooking in 425°F (220°C) oven until softened, about 30 minutes.

Avocado & Bacon Breakfast Bagels

An elevated version of the classic BLT, this flavour-filled breakfast is all you need to start the day off right.

Bacon-Wrapped Beef Kabobs

These filet mignon–inspired kabobs are made with less expensive top sirloin, then skewered and grilled for a more casual take on the classic steak-house dish. Serve this warm-weather dinner with a baked potato to round out the meal.
 

Bacon and Onion Perogies

Food culture in Manitoba has been influenced largely by the influx of eastern European settlers to the province. Foods such as borscht, cabbage rolls, garlic sausage and, of course, perogies appear across Manitoba. These perogies are time-consuming but entirely worth the effort. Serve them with a hefty dollop of sour cream (and some fried garlic sausage if you can find it).
