Strawberry Rhubarb Custard Pie

Mon, 16 May 2005 16:09:24 -0400

This was my Grandmothers recipe, we all love it! You can adjust the sweetness by the amount of strawberries you add. You will need 3 cups of fruit in total, but if you want a more tart pie, use more rhubarb than strawberries. I have posted this with exactly 1/2 and 1/2. -- posted by ~Leslie~

Sweet Potatoes With Caramelized Onion

Sun, 20 Nov 2005 21:25:21 -0500

I fail to remember where this recipe first appeared but chances are it was from Canadian Living magazine. This simple dish is much richer than you would expect and pairs well with grilled meats especially lamb and pork. Since sweet potatoes are very moist, adjust the amount of sour cream or milk to your taste. I do recall that the original recipe recommended placing the sweet potatoes and onion mixture in a food processor until blended. I found this method too gluey and altered it as stated. -- posted by Highland Lass

This is from our Church cookbook, it's very simple and so yummy! Something different when you don't know what to do with ground beef.

Granny's Fried Potato Slices

Mon, 24 Apr 2006 20:30:01 -0400

I like this recipe because it is fairly easy to make, is quick to cook and inexpensive to make. I got the recipe from my father's mother when she was alive many years ago and she got it off of a lady she knew during the Great Depression of the 1930's. One tip I would like to make is to always make sure when cooking this recipe to have the cooking oil not only cover the top of the slices but underneath the slices as well in the deepest frying pan you have or deep fryer that you can also use. If you or your family like french fries a lot, then I am sure you will these, they are tasty but I am afraid addictive like french fries and fattening but enjoy them anyway! -- posted by sweetie52

Low Carb Beef and Cheesy Spaghetti Squash Bake!

Wed, 10 May 2006 18:13:51 -0400

This recipe was inspired by my favourite pasta recipe that was posted by Beck D called Beef and Pasta Bake - the Best! Recipe #133624. Vegetarians can omit the beef. This is my low carb dream come true. Whenever I am craving a cheesy, ground beef pasta dish this is the one I turn to. This is a version that my husband actually prefers to pasta (yes, I am dumbfounded too)....hope you enjoy! -- posted by ~Leslie~

Rhubarb Pineapple Custard Pie

Tue, 16 May 2006 21:35:13 -0400

5 Layer Dip on a Chip

Fri, 16 Jun 2006 21:14:21 -0400

I prepared this as a snack for my husband this afternoon, as I had made chili and guacamole earlier in the day. At first, I thought I would throw together some classic nachos, but then I remembered that in the past, the results sometimes yielded some soggy chips while others didn't have any of the goods on them. 3 minutes under the broiler for these babies, and you're guaranteed that every chip will burst with that Mexican flavour that everybody loves. The only problem with this recipe, my husband says, is that you're left wanting more. -- posted by KP in Canada

Carnation Maple Muffins

Mon, 24 Jul 2006 22:23:45 -0400

My Mum got this recipe from a can of Carnation evaporated milk in the 80s and it's been a family favourite ever since. It's not listed among the Carnation website's current list of recipes at www.nestle.ca so I thought I should do my best to save this classic recipe from extinction. The original recipe calls for "1/4 cup shortening"; we use 3 tablespoons of (corn) oil. It also calls for 1/2 cup of maple syrup, but we found 3/4 cup was even better :) We also cut out the 1/2 teaspoon of salt from the original recipe. Use medium grade maple syrup (not the "light" stuff) if possible. Finally, be sure to use *evaporated* milk, not condensed milk! -- posted by Pepita

Cream of Cauliflower Soup

Mon, 28 Aug 2006 18:20:28 -0400

This is a wonderful fall or winter comfort food. The recipe can use either cauliflower or broccoli. UPDATE: I need to mention that I usually reserve some of the cauliflower pieces on the side before I blend, so I get a mixture of creaminess as well as some chunky pieces as an end result. You may want to try this. -- posted by Axe

Orange Raisin Walnut Muffins

Mon, 27 Nov 2006 16:14:50 -0500

Just made this recipe from Harrowsmith Cookbook, and they're probably the best muffins I've ever baked. Not too sweet, but not bland, and the cinnamon and orange just compliment each other so well! Nice crunchy walnuts here and there and raisins scattered throughout...I altered the recipe jussst a bit, and they turned out to be the perfect muffin, I think. (The procedure to mixing them is a bit different, I found, but the texture was great in the end, so it was worth cleaning an extra bowl or two.) -- posted by Megohm

Another winner from Lucy Waverman, who says: "Orzo is pasta shaped like rice. It cooks quickly and doesn't go mushy. I prefer the feta to be Greek but any will do." It's super fast, and quite filling. We loved this, hope you do too! :) -- posted by ~Leslie~

Spaghettini With Fiddleheads and Shrimp

Sun, 29 Apr 2007 21:49:04 -0400

Fiddleheads, yum! A Canadian and Northern U.S. treat, if you can get your hands on some, you should give them a try. It's the simplicity of this dish of pasta, curly fiddlehead fronds and shrimp nestled in a light cream sauce that makes it impressive. If you have access to wild leeks, the flavour is great in combination with the fiddleheads! Don't let the many steps of this recipe put you off, it's really quite simple. Freshly grated Parmesan cheese can be passed at the table as an optional topping. Recipe from Food and Drink. -- posted by ~Leslie~

Truck Stop Gravy

Mon, 09 Jul 2007 23:42:40 -0400

Another golden oldie recipe from a handwritten recipe card from 1960. A simple combination of beef broth and mushroom soup. You can serve it with meatloaf or hamburger patties for hot hamburger sandwiches. Or just top some french fries for 'chips and gravy'. Or use it to make hot beef, hot chicken or turkey sandwiches with leftovers. Slice cooked meat, place on a slice of bread, pour gravy on top. Add seasonings to taste. -- posted by foodtvfan

Nana Banana's Perfect Banana Bread

Mon, 13 Aug 2007 22:13:23 -0400

Well, this recipe is 25 years old. I created this recipe for my youngest son at the time. He was a very picky eater and had allergies to most things so suffice to say the Banana Bread was a good substitute for candy and etc at the time. I particularly like this formula because of it's simplicity and I have yet to find one that I like in comparison. It will always be moist and surely never last long. I have even taken to sending it to him when he went away to university. Thank God for couriers! I have changed the additions as the years progressed simply because I like nuts and variables from time to time. -- posted by Chef Mumsie Moskal

A touch of spicy curry flavour is a surprisingly terrific match for cheesy pasta. Do try the four cheeses below (though you can also use up bits of cheese lingering in your refrigerator).

This is one of my favorite cookie recipes because it reminds me of childhood and Mom baking these for school lunches.

These are simple to make and the molasses cookies fill the house with the incredible aromas of ginger and cinnamon. -- posted by Wild Chef

Rose Chicken & Mushrooms - Slow Cooker

Wed, 01 Apr 2009 03:40:02 -0400

Delicious chicken, mushrooms and tomatoes in a cream sauce. I serve it over egg noodles. My slow cooker is 5 litres. This makes enough for at least 4 very hungry people or 6 regular hungry people. Enjoy! -- posted by gagetite

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 :)

Ultimate Garlic & Cheese Bread!

Mon, 14 Sep 2009 13:53:28 -0400

This is a super easy, always delicious recipe for garlic bread with a twist. I got the idea for this recipe when eating out one evening, but developed it on my own. The nice thing about this recipe is that I often use it when I have some bread or buns which tastes a little too stale for sandwiches - so it's a great way to use those extras. If you're going out to buy the ingredients, check the "day-old" rack at your grocery store! The bottled minced garlic can be found in grocery store's condiment aisle. Fresh minced would also work, but I don't recommend dried since the cream cheese overpowers the taste.) It's a great appetizer, snack or side dish for a meal (especially anything with tomato) and even the pickiest eaters in my family love it. It's always the first thing gone at family functions! -- posted by Travelling Journal

This is is the perfect recipe for harvest time or for a long cold winter. The ingredients are quite affordable and the yield is high. It is very filling and nutritious as well as freezing fairly well. This is an original creation. -- posted by Jagash Vanhal
