Red Wine and Rosemary Pot Roast

Beef pot roast is such a versatile dish. So many different flavours and cuts of meat lend themselves to this method. You can also use a bone-in roast, which will have a beefier flavour than a boneless one, but either will be tender and delicious.

Hungarian Cabbage Roll Casserole

I once tasted Hungarian cabbage rolls in a family-owned restaurant in Winnipeg. When they closed down I knew that I couldn't live without this comfort food and created my own version with more spices, chicken rather than meat and tons of sauce. I serve them with whole, sauteed mushrooms and crusty bread.

Baked Rigatoni and Meatballs

The meatballs take a little time to prepare, but they boost this pasta dish to a deliciously flavourful meal.

Spinach Latkes

Spinach pancakes are a colourful variation on the traditional potato variety. Matzo meal is available in the Kosher section of most supermarkets, but you can substitute fresh bread crumbs. You'll also enjoy the Eggplant Latkes variation, which have a softer, more custardlike interior than the spinach variety.

Lee's Vegetarian Lasagna

Fresh sheets of lasagna, available in the deli section of most grocery stores, make quick work of this tasty and ooey, gooey lasagna that is simple enough for a weeknight meal, or hearty and satisfying enough for a weekend get-together. Use your favourite canned or bottled tomato sauce for added convenience. But for best results, homemade tomato sauce takes this lasagna to the next level.

Cold Peanut Chicken Rolls

These rolls are a great choice for nights when you crave something light yet satisfying. For a twist, we’ve swapped out traditional rice noodles for protein-dense quinoa. 

Lamb You Can Eat With a Spoon

Lots of mashed potatoes are definitely a must to slather in the delicious gravy.

Chipotle-Glazed Beef Short Ribs

 Look for cans of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce in your grocery store's Mexican food aisle. If you can't find it, replace chipotle peppers with 2 jalapeño peppers, roasted and seeded, and 1 tbsp (15 mL) hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco).

Kale Salad with Pears, Squash & Broccoli

We all know that pears are excellent in pies, preserves and crisps—but this autumnal fruit also lends itself well to savoury recipes.
