Cheesy Polenta Squares

We love serving roasted potatoes for any holiday meal, but if you're looking to switch up your sides this year, we can't recommend these cakes enough. Creamy polenta becomes a crispy bite-size side when cooled, cubed and browned in a skillet.

Decadent Sacher Torte Bites

The Sacher torte, a moist chocolate cake enrobed in apricot jam and chocolate ganache, is Vienna's most popular confection. These cookies, with their sticky jam filling and chocolate dip, pay homage to the iconic dessert.

Pork Tenderloin With Mushroom Gravy and Egg Noodles

Pork tenderloin makes a leaner yet flavourful substitute in this lighter take on pork chops and gravy. If you like, use shiitake, oyster or portobello

SPINACH CRÊPES WITH SMOKED SALMON & HERBED CREAM

Crispy Fish & Avocado Cream Tostadas

Grainy Mustard Rotisserie Prime Rib Roast

For a family reunion or just a dinner with friends, a boneless prime rib is easy to cook on the rotisserie or on indirect heat. It's a snap to carve and serve, and, frankly, it's mighty impressive.

Nutty Halvah Cheesecake

Halvah is candy made in blocks from ground sesame seeds and honey and can contain chopped pistachios and dried fruit. It even comes in a marble form and covered with chocolate. Add chunks of this sweet, with its toasty sesame flavour, to a creamy cheesecake.

Cheddar Cheese and Potato Cabbage Rolls

These cabbage rolls require minimal preparation. The combination of potatoes, cabbage, bacon, onions and, of course, sharp Canadian Cheddar cheese is irresistible.

Beefy Corn Tomato Casserole

The tomato paste used in this recipe is a concentrated source of lycopene, with 28 mg per 1/4 cup (50 mL) compared with 3 mg in 1 raw tomato. It is also noteworthy that research indicates lycopene from cooked or processed tomatoes is more readily absorbed by the body, especially if cooked with olive oil.

Baked Chilaquiles Verde With Eggs

Chilaquiles (pronounced "chee-lah-KEE-lehs") is a Mexican dish that traditionally simmers leftover tortillas in zesty salsa. Our version is a one-pan wonder loaded with zucchini, tomatillo salsa, eggs and tortilla chips that are soft in the pan’s centre and crispy around the edge.
