Maple Chipotle Barbecue Baked Beans. Sweet, smoky and spicy, these baked beans are the perfect accompaniment to any great southern barbecue meal.

Strawberry Pie. Southern style with no artificial colours or flavours. Why interfere with the sweet natural flavour of summer ripe strawberries?

Sweet Biscuit Strawberry Shortcake. A super simple dessert that’s perfect for summer barbecues and picnics.

Summer Corn Soup with Grilled Shrimp Sriracha Salsa. A perfect starter course for summer dinner parties or as a tasty light lunch with a side salad.

Newfoundland Jam Jams. Jam Jams from Purity Factories are a Newfoundland institution. Here’s a recipe for my homemade version of this local molasses and jam cookie classic.

Roasted Garlic Caesar Salad Dressing. The easy way, using a plain mayo base. Roasting the garlic brings out its natural sweetness and adds a more mellow garlic flavour for an exceptional caesar salad.

Mango Spice Banana Bread. A different mango and spice twist on a traditional banana bread. A great addition to packed lunches or as an afternoon snack. Makes a terrific bake sale contribution too.

BLT Salad with Creamy Dijon Dressing and Garlic Herb Butter Croutons. This salad may have very few components but it very big on freshness and flavour. It has turned out to be an ongoing family favourite.
