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

Pouding Au Chomeur

Thu, 24 Jul 2003 20:03:16 -0400

This is VERY easy to make and absolutely wonderful. It disappears quickly!! I got the recipe from my friend in Quebec. The original was brought over from France when the first settlers arrived in "Nouvelle France" or Quebec. Somewhere over time it became "Grand-pere" when someone substituted maple syrup for the brown sugar/water mix. Both versions are INCREDIBLY DELICIOUS! It is wonderful served warm with vanilla ice cream or cool whip. It also good served cold or room temperature. -- posted by Alskann

A recipe that is simply done, and cobines different ingredients to an excellent result. Found in "French Cooking in the New World" I use Moselle Valley Reisling; likewise its important that you use pure maple syrup, as corn syrup doesn't get it done! -- posted by John DOH

"chômeur's" Pudding

Mon, 23 Feb 2009 14:09:55 -0500

A classic French-Canadian sweet. "Chômeur" means un-employed; therefore, the dish bears its name because it is inexpensive. Along with rice pudding and jello, this is one of most commonly offered desserts in diners. WARNING: May cause sugar overdose. Contrary to the usual recipe, this one uses milk for a more cake-like texture. The original recipe also doesn't call for an egg, but my mother always made it with the egg. -- posted by Génial Génie

Nutribar Vanilla Frosting

Tue, 24 Mar 2009 01:44:56 -0400

I created this icing to compliment Recipe #362399, although it could be used on any kind of cake. There is no added fat. If the icing is too runny when it was just made, try refrigerating, or freezing, it before frosting your cake. -- posted by Génial Génie

Mon, 04 May 2009 14:28:13 -0400

This is a delicious recipe, ready in 2 minutes (really)! A nice, colourful change from the traditional salad. In the fall, use fresh beets and apples from local produce. I like to use Recipe# 367987 for the vinaigrette. -- posted by Génial Génie
