cozy fall favourites

Julie appeared on Rogers TV today to introduce three
delectable fall recipes that will envelop you in a cozy, autumnal embrace.
First, she prepared Buffalo Chicken Enchiladas, featuring tender chicken and
zesty buffalo sauce, all wrapped in a blanket of cheesy goodness. These
Enchiladas were paired with a Creamy Street Corn Salad, showcasing a harmonious
blend of charred corn, creamy dressing, and crunchy peppers. And for a sweet
finale, Julie baked a Zucchini Cranberry Loaf—a moist, cinnamon-kissed creation
that highlights the best of early fall’s harvest. You can try these recipes
yourself using the recipes provided below. They are sure to warm not only your
heart but also your kitchen.

Father's Day fare

When we celebrate Fathers Day and come up with a menu, it seems to always be something on the grill. 
I am happy with that too! Easy, no mess, keep the heat out of the kitchen and us too 😉 This year we are adding some creative zing to the grill and adding to the Burger and Sausage Bar..And don’t forget dessert… adding shots to the menu 😉
The Foodland Ontario menu items are also inspired by cuisine around the world and brought right to your backyard.

coronation quiche

Buckingham Palace shared the Coronation Quiche recipe.  Julie created her own version using local, in-season products and the result was a quiche fit for a king.  Planning to celebrate the coronation?  Julie suggests using the invitation as a starting point for decorations.  Bright reds and blues give the table a regal look.  Don’t forget to use your best china and silverware.  It is a Coronation after all!
