Apple Pancakes With Syrup

Sun, 01 Jul 2007 23:18:01 -0400

This has been a favorite since my children were todders many years ago. I think the original recipe came from an add for B.C. apples but I have modified it several times over the years. The original recipe called for white flour, brown sugar, and peeled apples; but I now use whole wheat flour, have reduced the amount of sugar by substituting half of it with Splenda, and leave the peel on the apples. You could use any variety of apples but we like the tartness of Granny Smith. -- posted by Dr Phil fan

Bc Ferries Manhattan Clam Chowder

Sun, 01 Jul 2007 23:53:57 -0400

This is from a free recipe card that they used to give out on the BC ferries. It is a tomato based chowder and is very good. The recipe calls for clam nectar but the recipe zaar software changes it to clam juice. I'm pretty sure it's the same but you never know. -- posted by Bridge Street Cafe

Canned Chicken Breast (For a Variety of Uses)

Tue, 03 Jul 2007 23:41:47 -0400

Canned chicken in broth is so handy to have around, I use it often for a variety of different things. I drain the chicken and freeze the broth for future use. I use the chicken for salad mix for sandwiches and for chicken salad with greens etc, chicken fritatta and any number of other recipes; For almost any recipe that calls for cooked chicken; I have even dumped the whole can, chicken and broth into a pot, add veggies, noodles and it makes a great soup. -- posted by Derf

Mom's Savoury Beef Stew

Fri, 26 Oct 2007 19:31:36 -0400

Just the right dish for a cold day. This stew is very easy to make, but needs 4-5 hours cooking time. All of the measurements for the seasoning are approximate, and should be seasoned to taste. Only 400 calories and one serving is very filling. For a beefier flavour, try adding 2 little packets of beef oxo, and omitting 1/2 tsp salt. This stew freezes very well; when heating it after it has been frozen, add a little water and it will bring it right back to life. -- posted by Jen Clary

Teriyaki Salmon Skewers

Sun, 18 Nov 2007 03:41:05 -0500

The sweet dark flavour of teriyaki is an ideal match for salmon. This is an easy appetizer, perfect to pick up and enjoy with a glass of sparkling wine. By using a centre cut of salmon your skewers will be equal in size and cook evenly. Let your wooden skewers soak in water for about 20 minutes to prevent flare-ups in the oven.

This is a quick and easy meal for lunch or supper. Its healthy and tasty! I made it up one night for supper for me and my sister. It was really quick, tasty and not too filling, but just right. It is healthy and spinach actually has more nutrients than any other food! If you want it even healthier, try whole wheat noodles rather than white. I am not too fond of measurements so these are close but approximates, so feel free to adjust as necessary. Enjoy this simple meal as a light, healthy new recipe! -- posted by Missi "cook"

It is not acidic there so we could eat 10 pineapples a week, every week for 4 months! So this was delicious with fresh pinapple, but canned would be ok too.

Build Your Own Canadian Cranberry and Herb Turkey Burgers!

Mon, 19 May 2008 01:37:13 -0400

Build your own burger - the recipe here is for a low-fat cranberry and herb turkey burger, with LOTS of options! Plump semi-dried Canadian cranberries and fresh chopped herbs are added to lean, low-fat turkey mince for a moist and flavourful burger, and without the guilt! I have offered the bacon, cheese, assorted condiments and the burger bun as an option; if you are REALLY watching your calories and fat intake, just go with the plain burger and a lovely crispy mixed salad on the side. Turkey mince can be a little bland, so the addition of the herbs and cranberries adds a real flavour injection. Try to use freshly chopped herbs for the best flavour, if you do use dried herbs, reduce the quantities by half, as dried herbs are more pungent than fresh. If you prefer a slightly sweeter taste, use Craisins, the sweetened dried cranberries that are available in North America and Canada; this recipe has been posted as a thank you to a Canadian friend on Recipezaar, who kindly sent me some Craisins, along with lots of other Canadian goodies! Merci beaucoup! -- posted by French Tart

Bc Ferries Manhattan Clam Chowder for First Class Passengers

Tue, 27 May 2008 02:40:44 -0400

In British Columbia, Canada, the Ferries that travel the beautiful trip between the Mainland and Vancouver Island, are famous for their "Manhattan" styled Clam Chowder. In the small village by Horseshoe Bay terminal, one of the little bistro's has it's own kicked up version. This is my copycat version of their version! NOTE - this is on the spicy/hot side so if you aren't a fan of that, don't add the red pepper flakes. Serve up with a crusty white artisan bread and a crisp, dry white wine. May I recommend BC's Sonoma Ranch Pinot Grigio. -- posted by Beautiful BC

We picked some wild mushrooms and I wanted to use them in an appetizer. Not finding what I was looking for, I looked at some recipes for other types of mushrooms. This recipe "borrows" heavily from Bergy's recipe 16123.

So thank you to Bergy! -- posted by Paja

A soft jell, requiring about a week to fully set. It does not hold a firm shape when decanted.

This yields about 7-1/2 cups of Jam. -- posted by Chef #929103

Rustic Apple Tart

Mon, 10 Nov 2008 22:46:35 -0500

This recipe hails from British Columbia, Canada. It is from the website if the B.C. Tree Fruits Limited company. "Who doesn't love baked apples and cinnamon? They are an irresistible combination especially when served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. This rustic apple tart is simpler to make than a pie. You don't have to be neat and fussy with the crust, just simply fold it up over the apples however you please leaving the centre open. The chopped pecans toast while the tart is baking which gives them a buttery taste and help to make the tart look very rustic." http://www.bctree.com/recipes/archive/apple-rustic-tart.php -- posted by Jess4Freedom
