Restaurant critic Jacob Richler shared his blockbuster menu for Mother's Day in our May 2004 issue of Canadian Living. It begins with this easy, tasty soup. "Making it is a cinch, and, so far as I know, it meets all mothers' criteria, which is to say it tastes good, is good for you and is not especially fattening."
Simmering the potatoes right along with the chicken makes for an easy one-pot supper. Sweet potatoes are high in fibre (about 4 g per 1/2-cup/125 mL serving). They are also very high in beta-carotene and a good source of vitamin C, both of which are antioxidants. Add Creamy Coleslaw and green beans to round out the meal.
An elegant, rich and dark consommé is perfect for holiday entertaining. For a dairy-free version, replace the mini puff garnish with sliced chives.
This savoury saucy chicken dish is perfect for a cold winter's night. Chicken thighs and beans are a great way to bump up the protein, and polenta makes for an inexpensive side dish.
This simple dinner has all the bright, fresh flavours of the Mediterranean, plus the heart-healthy benefits of ingredients common to the region (think lean protein, olive oil and lots of veggies!). Serve with a side of cooked orzo to round out the meal.
You can make this meatloaf with ground venison, moose, elk or bison. Red wine gives it a traditional rich and fruity flavour, while the gin adds a touch of juniper berry flavour and rounds out the spicing. Serve with Roasted Sweet Onions.
Garnish this stew with sprigs of coriander and serve with side dishes of plain yogurt, chutney, rice, cooked spinach and pappadams (spicy Indian wafers).
Some weeks you need a big-batch soup to use up a ton of in-season veggies. This tangy-sweet soup fills the bill – it's great hot or cold, and freezes beautifully. This borscht is vegan on its own, but it's even tastier topped with a dollop of sour cream (or plain Greek yogurt) and a sprinkle of chopped fresh dill.
