Creamy Pumpkin Pie
Jul 14, 2005
A nice change from the traditional spaghetti and meat sauce, this pasta bakes into a pie shell, making the outside layer crispy. Canada's Food Guide to Healthy Eating recommends two to three servings of meat and alternatives each day. One serving of cooked meat is about 3 ounces (90 grams), on which we are basing the sauce, then we're bulking it up with vegetables. Canned tomato products have the highest amounts of lycopene, which can reduce the risk of certain cancers. Serve with Light Caesar Salad.
Take advantage of locally available, long, narrow shepherd peppers for this dish (just slit them lengthwise before stuffing and arrange on their sides in the baking dish). If you can't find them, any small sweet pepper about the size of your fist will do. Enjoy them hot or at room temperature.
Polenta squares topped with chicken cacciatore will bring make-it-again requests at home or for a potluck.
Hearty is the description for this vegetarian dish that is sure to be a new buffet and potluck favourite.
The creamy, salty dressing makes every bite of this salad feel indulgent. If you want to make this dish ahead of time, store the lettuce and dressing in separate containers and dress the salad at the last minute so the lettuce doesn't get soggy.
Beautiful heirloom tomatoes are the star of this tart. Thanks to their varied shapes and sizes, they yield the most stunning results.
There's no need to trim the outer leaves of the brussels sprouts because they will fall or pull off easily when you trim and cut the sprouts in half.
Words can't do justice to marshmallows, drizzles of chocolate and caramel, and a creamy chocolate cheesecake.
The addition of artichoke hearts updates this classic. If you make it ahead, adding the artichokes after thawing prevents the dish from getting watery during reheating.
