I love making this dish in the summer, when the Farmers’ Market is filled with red ripe tomatoes and multi-coloured heritage tomatoes are plentiful.
Vegetables
Mushrooms Gratinée
This recipe for stuffed mushrooms is a little fussy, but worth it. They always disappear like magic whenever I serve them.
Mock Sukiyaki
A quick, one-pot dinner that feels hearty while remaining healthy. Reminiscent of a restaurant sukiyaki, but ready for the dinner table.
Spinach Salad
This Spinach Salad uses crisp greens, crumbled bacon, dried cranberries, Asiago cheese and is tossed with a red wine vinaigrette
Baked Beets
An underrated vegetable, fresh beets come in a colorful array of tones. These beets are baked which brings out the sweetness and flavour
Garlic Mashed Potatoes
Garlic Mashed Potatoes are a nice accompaniment to roasted meats, such as chicken or beef or pork. The nutmeg adds a subtle nutty flavour.
Asiago Brussels Sprouts
Perfectly cooked, these Brussels sprouts are finished with olive oil, grated nutmeg and Asiago cheese
Chili Con Carne
There is nothing better on a cold winter’s night than a steaming bowl of chili con carne served with toast or cornbread. This comfort food will warm your innards.
Roasted Sweet Potato Slices
Sweet potatoes and heat go hand in hand together. This simple preparation for Roasted Sweet Potato Slices goes well with both roasted or grilled meats or vegetables.
Portobello Veggie Stacks
These hearty Portobello Vegetable Stacks are wonderful to serve with barbecued steak, lamb chops or pork chops. I have also used them as an entree for a vegetarian meal.
