Named after the city of Nanaimo in British Columbia, the first time this square was published under that name was in the early 1950's in the Vancouver Sun newspaper! This version of the original bar is from Company's Coming - 150 Delicious Squares! Later versions change the vanilla custard layer to mint or peanut butter but the original is my favourite. You can make this a day ahead of a special occasion or keep it in the freezer. I used to freeze half because I'm very weak & I would eat the whole thing myself BUT I soon discovered that it tastes good even when its frozen! -- posted by CountryLady

Mon, 01 Aug 2005 15:59:46 -0400

I just made this up. I wanted something different than the usual apricot jam so I added some almond extract and cinnamon. When you open the jar you can smell the almond but it isn't overpowering. They both are mostly a background taste. It is a softer jam but not syrupy. Great on bread with peanut butter. UPDATE: It did jell up after about a month. -- posted by tasb

This recipe is a mixture of a few. It's extremely versatile, choosing your own tastes from the veggies to the soup to the cream cheese. It's similar to other "cream chicken" recipes but I think this one has much more taste. Use any cut of chicken you like. Works well with turkey breasts! If you want to make the meal whole without any extra work, it also works great with sliced or chopped potatoes under the chicken. -- posted by Corilayn

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

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

Tomato Pineapple Jam

Thu, 16 Oct 2008 19:20:14 -0400

A soft jell, requiring about a week to fully set. It does not hold a firm shape when decanted. It is surprisingly flavorful, my children's favorite on toast, Popovers, English Muffins, or lightly spread on waffles. I usually keep mine in a spare refrigerator once the jars have sealed. 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

Spices are to your own taste and can be adjusted to whatever taste you want. Believe me...I've added everything from curry to southwestern tastes, this 'basic' recipe is just a guideline to the spices and taste you are looking for. ENJOY, it's awesome. -- posted by Corilayn

I love Starbucks' Fraps, but they recently closed the Starbucks closest to me, and now I cannot go as much, but I can't go too long with out a frap! It took a few tries to get this right, but, I did it! It's perfect. :) *I use the same blender starbucks uses, a VitaMix 5200. -- posted by frap girl :)

A chance to sneak in a particular vegetable that some 'think' they don't like. My DH says he doesn't like it (eggplant) but yet when I make this he fights with the kids on who gets seconds (guess I should just make 2 batches ;) Just don't mention that it has eggplant in it and see if anyone notices. -- posted by Corilayn
