These Festive Beaujolais Poached Pears are a lovely dessert for parties or any special occasion. They are vegan, lower calorie and gluten-free and they are suitable for many people. The crystallized ginger adds deeper flavours and heat to this traditional dessert.
Using Crystallized Ginger to add flavour or to garnish dishes, gives you the ability to add more to a recipe. It's actually very easy to make and keeps for a few weeks or can be frozen.
This Banana Bread is a recipe that my mother typed for me and I have used so much. I wanted to try an eggless version, so the secret ingredient is silken tofu instead of eggs. You can make it added sugar free, dropping many calories but still enjoying a sweet treat. The overripe bananas give it sweetness and the vinegar, milk and yoghurt are a substitute for buttermilk . I have since made many updates to it and improved the calories, carb count and saturated fat profile, but it remains true to its original heritage.
This Bannock Reimagined biscuit has incredible history. It is one of the most basic recipes there is. Miners in Northwest Territories made this at their mining sites along with other food. They fried it in a skillet. This recipe takes a historical staple and improves the taste, makes it gluten free and bakes it instead of frying. This adds flavour and improves the nutrition. It is so easy that the children might like participating in this one. The cranberry glaze adds some unique taste and beauty.
This Chocolate Delight Hummus will satisfy your sweet tooth with no guilt. It is loaded with nutrients and some protein too. Not much added sweetener but using the best cocoa packs some great taste turning hummus into a dessert.
This Sweet Pumpkin Pie Dessert Hummus will satisfy your sweet tooth with no guilt. It is loaded with nutrients and some protein too. No added sugar and with the pumpkin pie spices, you will think it is sweet. Great addition to the Fall menu.
You have no doubt heard of food coma. It is real. Warning: these brownies cause Chocolate Coma. Just kidding. Sort of. These babies are filled with so many different types of chocolate, they may cause you to lose your mind! But please help yourself. Specially developed for the Canadian Baking and Sweets Show in Toronto on October 19 & 20. Brownies are classified as a bar cookie. The required elements are met using Coffee Crisp bars and Maple Syrup inside and decorated with wild Ontario Blueberries. Using the finest cocoa powder from Camino, semi-sweet chocolate chips from Callebaut and Nestle Coffee Crisp bars crisp crushed supplying the tasty middle layer.
With the challenges of feeding a large family during the depression, these recipes harken back and pay tribute to those times with some updates and added flavours that were the family’s favourites, for example cornbread and peaches. Why not marry these together? Since I love France, we must add some aged French Blue Cheese. Now we have it all, salty, sweet and divine cornbread.
This Le Biscuit Rose de Reims recipe requires some baking forms if you want to make them as closely as possible to the original. Otherwise have fun and make whatever shapes you want. You could also make them whatever colour you want but the original is obviously a lovely pink. Less is more when adding the colour. The original versions have lots of air bubbles so have fun with these. The story goes that these biscuits originally were leftover bread dough and decided not to waste it and the result was these pretty biscuits. That is most likely why they are made with yeast rather than another form of leavening.
I have never been very good at biscuits. When I saw this Tomato Cobbler with Distinctive Biscuits recipe, I jumped at the chance to try my luck once again. This one worked and it tastes great. I made some updates to it to decrease calories, sugars and saturated fats. And I added some wonderful tastes to the tomato cobbler. What are baked tomatoes without shallots and garlic? Try this one, you will love it.
This Vegan Sourdough Whole Wheat Rye Crackers recipe was inspired by @klaracard on Instagram. I've used a Rye starter but if you wish, you can use a white flour starter.
