What better way to bring people together than over a communal dessert that satisfies on every level. 1

Makes as many as you’d like. 1 potato makes 2 potato skins. 1

Beautiful saskatoons nestled in a sour cream filling are baked in a lightly sweetened lemony shortbread crust to make a delicious tart. 1

Since split red lentils fall apart and become soft as they cook, they are lovely for creating a soup that has a creamy texture. This one has a deep exotic flavour thanks to the cumin. Leave it chunky or purée it for a silky texture. 1

The key is in the beating of the batter – don’t skimp! The more you beat, the better they get. Under-beating will produce a tough cookie. 1

Scatter the ingredients all over the board like an abstract painting, or be more geometric. It all works. Just have fun!

If decorating isn’t your thing or you don’t have the time, this is a great little cookie with all the delicious flavours of a superb sugar cookie without all the fuss 1

Delicious tart sour cream smothers slices of apple to make this a most delectable pie. 1

The secret to making this a delicious salad is to massage the vinaigrette into the leaves of kale an hour before serving. It gives the leaves time to soften and absorb some of the dressing and makes them much more palatable to eat raw. Feel free to change up the roasted vegetables to suit your liking.

This delicious recipe is terrific for stretching the number of meals you can get out of a pot roast. You can also fill these little pockets with leftover stew, pulled pork, or pulled chicken. 1

The only thing you need to know is this…you just can’t stop at one of these soft and chewy cookies! 1

This lovely braided pastry tasted just like pumpkin pie but with the added surprise of a cream cheese layer. 1

Oh, the tastes of fall. I love them, especially when the warm spices of the season infuse this delicious soup. The key to its rich taste is roasting the vegetables to caramelize the juices and accentuate the flavour. 1

A family-fun way to transform leftover pot roast! 1

There’s nothing like a pot roast – especially when done right. It’s moist and flavourful and when you pour over the warm gravy….wow…every mouthful is a dance. You can do this recipe in the slow cooker or oven. 1

Seriously…is there any other dessert that can beat apple pie? 1

The key to this delicious salad is tossing the vegetables in the dressing while they are still hot. This will allow the potatoes to absorb the dressing. 1

Squares of double-chocolate brownie nestle together with all the flavours it loves…vanilla ice cream, whipping cream, toasted walnuts and strawberries…what more could you ask for? 1

A really delicious burger made extra fun with the addition of crispy tortilla chips. Don’t omit them….they really do put this burger over the top! 1

Almonds are a terrific compliment to this delicious pesto, made with summer garlic scapes, as they are milder in flavour than traditional pine nuts. It may seem like a lot of garlic scapes, but they have a milder flavour than a clove of garlic. Use this pesto for a myriad of uses – including as a sauce for pasta, in salad dressings, as sandwich spread, on fish and chicken, even in bread….and the list goes on! 1

These are made with Sask Snow Beef – a Holstein-Wagyu cross, raised by Ian and Nicole Crosbie in Caronport, Saskatchewan. If you can’t get Snow Beef, substitute a ground beef mix with 30% fat. These burgers are deliciously juicy and tender…they remind me of the burger meat I ate back in the 60s and 70s. They are delicious with Ben’s Herbed Roasted Potatoes. 1

For those who love the early wild delicacies of spring - try Fiddleheads with Spruce Tip Mayo. If you can't find fiddleheads, asparagus works perfectly. If you want spruce tips, get out now...the season is incredibly short. 1

What a delicious way to enjoy the first fruit of spring! This cake will rise and collapse slightly upon cooling. Don’t worry, it supposed to be like that. 1

This is a fun take on the famous Caprese salad but honestly, with COVID-19, this method is for whatever you have on hand. 1
