Corn and Potato Chowder

Sun, 23 Mar 2003 20:03:46 -0500

This is the only way I make corn chowder. It doesn't leave that awful skum around the pot like cooking it on the stove does, that you almost have to sandblast off. The bacon gives a wonderful flavour, and the two kinds of corn a nice consistency. -- posted by MaeEast

Nova Scotia Maple Chicken

Sun, 06 Apr 2003 20:00:00 -0400

Caution: Recipe calls for almonds; persons with nuts intolerance should exclude this ingredient entirely from the recipe. Chicken is tender; sauce can be poured over Sweet potato, rice, or orzo accompaniment. Serve with salad and/or other vegetables. Sauce is excellent over sweet potatoe or carrots; however this creates a very high sugar content; not suitable for diabetic diets. Persons with diabetes should not pour this sauce over their vegetables. -- posted by TOOLBELT DIVA

This is a simple recipe that tastes gourmet. Even your picky eaters will enjoy this one. Add more of the ingredients you love and omit any you don't enjoy or don't have on hand. This one is easy to prepare and hard to ruin. Great served with rice and veggies or salad **Extra fresh dill weed can be frozen in a plastic bag and keeps it's flavour beautifully.** -- posted by shannon0001

Rose's World Famous Pancakes

Sun, 12 Mar 2006 22:21:14 -0500

These are truly world famous. I have made them for guests from England and the Netherlands as well as from Nova Scotia. I remember the first time I ever made them. I was a fairly newly wed when my husband asked me for pancakes. I very sweetly replied, " I can't make pancakes, I don't have any pancake mix." To which my husband answered, "Don't you have a cook book?" Thus begun my obsession of cooking things from scratch. ( I was 14 when I learned you could make a cake from scratch). -- posted by breton cove dreamer

A number of years ago when our town used to hold a Farmers' Market they were giving out samples of veggies stirfried in this sauce and passed out the recipe to those that requested it. Very simple to make and tastes great in basically any type of stirfry...pork, chicken, shrimp or beef. -- posted by Nova Scotia Cook

This is an awesome recipe we made up. It is tried and true. I got this recipe from piemaking in Canada, where we went out blueberry picking. These should be fresh picked wild berries. I think you probably substitute Saskatoon berries, as well. Yummy! -- posted by Biscoti

Lightened up Traditional Nova Scotian Hodge Podge

Fri, 08 Aug 2008 13:42:22 -0400

This is a traditional dish in Nova Scotia, Canada and can be found on most peoples tables early August when the first "new" vegetable are just being harvested. This dish is also regional and by that I mean that each region of Nova Scotia has their own version of this recipe. In some regions it is made more like a soup or chowders and in other regions it is made more like a sloppy vegetable mixture, with a little bit of "juice", which is how I prefer it. Traditionally this version is made with cream and lots of butter, but I'm trying to eat less fat so I came up with this version. I think it's pretty good and if you've never had the "full fat" version you'll probably enjoy this. Nice way to get all kinds of garden fresh veggies on your plate. This is mmm mmm good for you. Serving size and cooking times are just an estimate. Serving size depends on if you are having as the meal itself or as a side dish. -- posted by PennyG

My Dad's Ultimate Macaroni and Tomatoes

Mon, 01 Jun 2009 00:46:28 -0400

I am originally from the Canadian east coast, and like most people from that area, I grew up with classic macaroni and tomatoes. Sound plain? Well, it can be, but not the way my Dad makes it! Even if you think this doesn't sound that exciting, give it a try- I know you will love it! Kids love this too... *** Edit for the person who mentioned they left out the summer savory because they don't like mint flavouring in their food- it is NOT minty, it is another herb similar to sage and thyme actually. Hope that helps! However, since I know it is hard to find in some areas, it isn't necessary, it's just that I love it, hehe. -- posted by Lady Clare
