Old Time Baked Beans

Thu, 30 May 2002 17:48:12 -0400

These are the beans my French-Canadian mother used to make. She never measured anything making these so I've estimated the amounts. These taste great with fresh bread. A good dish to keep in mind for pot-lucks. You can add pork or weiners to it if you like. Bacon strips on top work well. -- posted by Paul Elliott

Tue, 07 Jan 2003 20:03:45 -0500

Beer Ham

Sun, 12 Jan 2003 20:28:44 -0500

This recipe was given to me by mt Aunt Therese. She has been using the recipe since she was married. The ham is so moist and tender, and fragrant, just try it and see. You will need to remove it from the pocket with great care as it tends to fall apart! -- posted by Midge Plourde

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

Aunt Helen's Almond-Raspberry Rice Squares

Wed, 29 Oct 2003 20:03:19 -0500

An old family favourite! They were sure to show up on the platters of cookies and squares put out by my great-aunts at Christmas, and I always made a bee-line for them. Now I can make them myself. For the pastry, try half a recipe of Marie's French Pie Pastry. (Recipe #45383)I have made them gluten-free, by using brown rice flour in the pastry, and white rice flour in the topping, which worked out very well. -- posted by Jenny Sanders

Italian Poutine

Mon, 30 May 2005 11:55:19 -0400

This is a nice change from regular poutine in that it uses marinara sauce in place of the beef gravy. Not sure if it could ever beat the original, but I like it for a variation once and awhile. Be sure to use real cheese curds or it is just not a poutine. If you ever have the opporuntity to go to Quebec, stop at one of the casse croutes along the highway and order a real, French-Canadian potine. You will NOT be disappointed! -- posted by BirdyBaker

Mashed Pumpkin Potatoes

Mon, 03 Oct 2005 16:18:45 -0400

This is my personal rendition on a favorite from Quebec. The addition of pumpkin to ordinary mashed potatoes gives them an nice earthiness that goes well with roasted poultry or other autumnal fare. I have not tried it with canned pumpkin but will experiment eventually. Though I don't cook much with butter, you should feel free to add some more to suit your taste. -- posted by justcallmetoni

Salmon Pie

Tue, 13 Feb 2007 23:17:01 -0500

Mom always made this for our birthday's since it was everyone's favorite dinner. Like Emeril, our heritage is French Canadian, and after testing both his recipe and ours, my family agrees that our recipe has more salmon flavor due to the canned salmon. -- posted by Michele M.

Maple Raisin Pound Cake

Sun, 18 Nov 2007 03:23:23 -0500

Pound cakes got their name because they originally were made with a pound of flour, a pound of eggs, a pound of sugar and a pound of butter. This cake, with its Canadian twist of raisins and maple syrup, is served with a maple sauce but it can be omitted, if you HAVE to :) This is another recipe by Lucy Waverman, who happens to be my favourite chef! -- posted by ~Leslie~

Minimal preparation, awesome in sandwiches, It's another version of my comfort tofu loaf. I ground the tofu and onion using my meat grinder attachment on my standmixer... but thats because I don't have a food processor at the moment. Serve with mashed potatoes and gravy. Oh and green beans if you are not a vegan Paula Deen. -- posted by Mad Maryno

Den's Split Pea Soup and Ham

Tue, 21 Oct 2008 23:19:34 -0400

Good old fashioned French Canadian Pea Soup! If you like your pea soup thick and full of texture, you'll enjoy this! ( Though I enjoy starting soup in the morning on my days off, you can soak your peas overnight in cold water, but I don't recommend it for this recipe). I always make a lot of soup for freezing, feel free to half the recipe -- posted by hdg2vega

The secret ingredient in this recipe will have you feeling like there's a ton of butter and cream in there... though there's not. Go ahead and indulge in this ooey-gooey treat! This recipe uses the microwave. If you do not have fleur de sel, simply use coarse grain salt or simply omit. -- posted by Génial Génie
