Tart cranberries add a festive flavour to this coffee cake. Baking it in a Bundt pan gives a fluted shape to the bottom, making it a beautiful addition to a holiday brunch table.
Adding a bit of water to the burger mix helps keep this lean turkey juicy. There's no need for condiments when you have this crunchy coleslaw topping. If you don't want the bun, just serve the burger on a bed of slaw.
Greek thyme honey, traditionally used in this cheesecake, adds an intriguing herbal flavour. Closer to home, try wildflower or melon honey.
The dough for these homemade crackers is as easy to roll as cookie dough and is quick to cut into squares. Flaxseeds and ground flaxseed are available in the health food section of most grocery stores and at bulk food stores.
Oat flour has a mild, slightly sweet and nutty flavour that makes these pancakes satisfying brunch fare. Find oat flour in health food stores or make your own (see tip, below).
This springtime twist on classic date squares features a tangy-sweet pink rhubarb filling. Look for fresh stalks of rhubarb that are firm and have the most vibrant colour, but discard the inedible leaves before cooking. If fresh rhubarb is unavailable, measure the same amount of frozen rhubarb, then thaw and drain.
This is the ultimate in comfort food, combining two all-time homegrown favourites: cinnamon buns and bubbly, sweet apple cobbler. Sprinkling a cinnamon filling into rolled buttermilk biscuits offers a quick alternative to a yeast-risen cinnamon bun.
Baking bread from scratch is one of the most satisfying endeavours: kneading the dough, watching it rise, smelling it bake, then slathering a warm slice with butter.
