The combo of warm, rich Brie and mildly tangy fresh strawberry salsa is a marriage made in heaven. For the most flavourful cheese, remove the top rind so that the sweet honey can permeate the creamy interior.
Traditionally made with beef, this Korean dish is tasty with chicken, too. Set out the chicken, rice, lettuce and dipping sauce, then invite everyone to wrap the fixings into little bite-size bundles.
The tender, mild cloves of roasted garlic make this simple preparation special enough for company.
Classic spring flavours and a variety of textures combine in a special brunch dish the whole family will enjoy. Mom will definitely appreciate the stylish presentation. Be sure to read through the whole recipe together first and then assign jobs, referring to the work plan below.
Rubbing the beef with flavourful spices before cooking it to tenderness makes this roast a winner. For an informal family event, slice thinly and serve on kaiser rolls. If you can't find strained tomatoes, just process 1 can (28 oz/796 mL) whole tomatoes in the blender until smooth and strain out seeds.
Flank steak is a great option for serving a large crowd because you cook it whole, meaning there's only one steak to turn on the grill, rather than several. Balsamic vinegar adds bold flavour to the marinade. For a subtler taste, opt for a light-to-medium-bodied red wine, such as Pinot Noir or Merlot, instead.
Inspired by the famous cinnamon buns of Winnipeg's Tall Grass Prairie Bread Company, which celebrates Manitoba's agricultural wealth by using local grains and ingredients in its many offerings, these cinnamon buns are made “virtuous” by the addition of whole wheat flour. If you prefer your buns glazed, mix 1-1/4 cups icing sugar with 2 tbsp milk and drizzle over buns while still hot.
A little chicken (less than a pound) goes a long way in this rich, creamy dish. We love whole wheat spaghetti with the rustic mushroom-infused sauce, but any long pasta, such as bucatini, spagettini or linguine, can be a delicious partner. Feel free to improvise with whatever type is waiting in your pantry.
