Warm Crab Dip

Never fear dry chicken burgers again. Using your meat thermometer will result in a brilliantly juicy patty every time. Topping this burger with smoky chipotle mayo and sweet sugar snap pea slaw adds great crunch and a hit of spice.
Pretty in pink with a delightful sweet-tart taste, these marshmallows add a nice pop of colour to your holiday dessert table. Using frozen berries makes this recipe convenient and inexpensive.
Dip the biscotti in either dark or white chocolate to make these cookies extra delicious.
Jerk barbecue sauce adds a Jamaican touch to this burger. This sauce is milder than jerk seasoning, which is a paste to use in moderation. Jerk barbecue sauce and its counterpart, jerk marinade, are available in supermarkets.
A look through past recipes revealed that we have never developed a nut-free fruitcake – so here it is. A jewel-like topping and variety of fruits ensures that no one will even notice that the nuts are missing.

Christine wanted to make meals for large groups of family and friends that would appeal to adults and kids alike. She also wanted to be able to prepare them ahead so she could spend time with her guests. This recipe makes a little more sauce than you will need for the ribs, but you'll find lots of other delicious uses. Christine serves the ribs with her coleslaw (see Christine's Coleslaw).
Fruitcake lovers will enjoy the dense, chewy texture that comes from the combination of dried fruit and marzipan. Soaking the cranberries in rum softens them and gives the bars extra zing.
Fresh, spicy chorizo sausage is the perfect option when you want a lot of flavour in a little time. Pair this stew with a crusty baguette—you'll want to sop up all of the delicious broth.
