Pineapple Strawberry Rhubarb Jam a.k.a. Heavenly Rhubarb Jam. A jam my Newfoundland grandmother made in the Spring when seasonal rhubarb became available.

Mongolian Beef. A quick and easy recipe. People love this dish for its balance of sweet and salty flavours and this recipe has just a little extra zing.

Delicious crispy chicken fried fish nuggets that make a terrific dinner that kids will love or as deliciously unexpected finger food at parties.

The Best Classic Canadian Butter Tarts. There’s a reason why we have a national obsession with these sweet, buttery, caramel-y tarts. I’ve sampled them in many places across the country and this thick pastry version is my favourite. Don’t do the raisin debate,  just leave them out if they are not your thing. Everyone should be able to enjoy them as they like them.

Garlic Parmesan Potato Latkes. As a terrific side dish or with a weekend brunch, nothing beats these flavourful crispy potato pancakes.

Easy Chocolate Strawberry Shortcake. This gorgeous, simple cake is so quick to make too, with only about 20 minutes of hands on preparation. It’s destined to be one of your go-to desserts.

Sweet Potato Spice Muffins. Such a quick & easy recipe for moist, delicious muffins and a perfect use for leftover sweet potatoes too!

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.

Strawberry Vanilla Sponge Cake. A simple but delicious vanilla sponge cake filled with roasted strawberry jam and topped with an uncomplicated vanilla glaze. Makes a simple elegant birthday cake.

One Hour Beer Butt Chicken. It only takes an hour at high heat to infuse flavour into the dry rubbed chicken, while giving it a little tasty char on the skin and yielding a juicy, succulent result.
