Old Fashioned Pancakes

These pancakes are not too thick, not too thin, but tender, light, buttery, and delicious. Anybody can add water to a boxed pancake mix, but you're better than that!

Vegan Pancakes

These fluffy vegan pancakes are delicious! I have been making them for years, and everyone that tries them wants the recipe.

The Bloody Caesar, an iconic Canadian cocktail simply referred to as a Caesar in Canada, is a national favorite, known for its distinctive flavor that sets it apart from the classic Bloody Mary. It combines vodka with Clamato juice (a savory mix of clam and tomato juice) for a distinct briny, unami taste. Spiced with hot sauce and Worcestershire sauce, it’s usually garnished with a celery stick, lime wedge, pickled treats such as beans or olives, or whatever your heart desires.

German Apple Pancake

This German apple pancake is also known as a Dutch baby. It is a terrific pancake recipe for those special occasions. If you are strapped for time, you can start it the evening before and pretty much pop it in the oven. The presentation is excellent!

Roasted Turkey Legs

Roasting a few turkey legs is a great way to have a small-scale Thanksgiving dinner. You don't need to worry about cooking a whole roasted turkey from scratch, and this recipe can be easily doubled to serve more people.

Pan Poached Alaskan Salmon Piccata

This is a delicious, creative way to serve salmon. You can serve the salmon on a bed of cooked noodles (I enjoy fettuccine) or on its own with a side of vegetables.

Make Ahead Turkey Gravy

Flavorful turkey fond makes a smooth and delicious make-ahead Thanksgiving gravy that looks and tastes way better than those frantic, last-minute versions. This savory gravy is made with roasted vegetables and turkey wings before you roast your turkey and frees up valuable kitchen time for all the other dishes of your Thanksgiving meal.

Chilaquiles Breakfast Casserole

This chilaquiles breakfast casserole is made with layered tortilla chips, baked in a spiced chile sauce and cheese. Topped with fried or poached eggs, and plenty of delicious fixings, it's very satisfying. Traditional chilaquiles are made in a skillet, but this casserole version is a great way to serve a large group at breakfast or a brunch.
