One-Pan Jerk Chicken Dinner

Very little prep is needed for this tasty one-dish dinner—simply toss together and bake! We've made our own jerk spice, which will keep for months in a sealed container, but you can also look for a prepared mix in the international section or spice aisle of your grocery store. Serve with our Pineapple Salad.

Thai Coconut Lime Chicken

Katie Taylor of Thornhill, Ont., was inspired to create this recipe with chicken after making it with mussels. She serves this with jasmine or basmati rice, to which she adds grated lime rind, chopped peanuts, butter, salt and pepper. Kaffir lime leaves and lemongrass are available at Asian markets and some supermarkets.

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).

Swiss Chard with Frizzled Onions

Frizzled onions add instant sophistication to even the most humble side dish. Garlic and hot pepper flakes infuse the oil—and the Swiss chard—with flavour.

Baked Blooming Onions

Rotisserie Beef

This beef recipe is easy to prepare and serve on Kaiser or onion buns. Since a beef eye of round oven roast is less tender than some other cuts, marinating and rotisserie cooking over low heat helps keep it juicy and flavourful.

Veal Chops with Panko Gremolata

Sweet-and-Sour Chicken Kabobs

These protein-rich kabobs provide the necessary amino acids to help build and repair muscles after active competition. Serve with brown rice to provide complex carbohydrates that replenish your tired athlete's energy.

Mum's Sticky Rice

In our family, we prepare rice for all occasions, so this is a definite must-have for Chinese New Year. My mother combines long-grain and glutinous rice, which makes the dish less sticky. If you can get fresh water chestnuts, use 3/4 cup (175 mL) diced.

Maple & Chipotle Pulled Pork Sandwiches

Prepare this summertime classic in the morning and let it cook all day for an easy-peasy, super tasty dinner that'll definitely have you going back for more.
