Fresh Cranberry Relish with Apple and Orange
Sep 18, 2002
Give beloved cinnamon rolls a Canadian twist with our favourite national ingredient—maple syrup—for an epic flavour combination you won’t be able to resist.
Nutritional yeast is the secret ingredient in this dish. It's a good vegan source of protein and vitamin B with a rich cheese flavour reminiscent of Parmesan.
Baked macaroni is one of our Sunday dishes that we serve with stewed chicken or beef, rice, stewed red beans and potato salad. This will stick to your bones and you won't be hungry too quickly thereafter. Baked macaroni is definitely a tasty comfort food that all ages will love. Best served hot and leftovers are just as good. For those who are lactose intolerant, omit the can of evaporated milk and substitute with 1/2 cup of chicken broth. You must also increase the amount of breadcrumbs by 1/4 cup. Don't use too much broth as the mixture will not bind together. Any Canadian marbled cheese and parmesan cheese can be used.
Middle Eastern tabbouleh is usually made with cracked bulgur wheat. By using quinoa (actually a seed that is an excellent source of iron), this salad becomes gluten-free.

Cindy layers roasted and sautéed vegetables between three highly flavoured quinoa mixtures to create a colourful vegetarian “lasagna.” This dish was invented not only for her oldest daughter (the lone vegetarian in a household of meat lovers), but also so the whole family could enjoy more vegetarian meals.
Start a new tradition with a sage-and-oregano corn bread stuffing for roast turkey. If time is too tight to make Corn Bread Loaf, buy corn bread at a local bakery; you'll need 3 lb (1.5 kg).
