Tomato Bacon Gruyere Tart with Maple Leaf Foods

By //  by Candace Sampson

There is no better time of year for me than tomato season, and nothing pairs better with tomatoes than bacon. Bacon and tomato sandwiches, pasta with bacon and tomatoes, bacon and tomato frittatas, and this Tomato Bacon Gruyere Tart are on regular rotation in my house every September. Bacon, by the way,  is in rotation year round, and it's always been Maple Leaf, because as a self-described bacon snob, it's simply the best.  I recently had the pleasure of meeting with Michael …

Bacon Wrapped Goat Cheese Avocado Appetizer

By //  by Katja Wulfers

I didn’t always love avocado. There was a time when I turned my nose up at its texture and colour and ohmygawd what is that flavour? As my taste buds matured along came an appreciation for olives, craft ale, bearded men, and the previously despised green fruit. And then I couldn’t get enough. Guacamole became my food of choice along with my current favourite: avocados lightly seasoned with sea salt and drizzled with balsamic vinegar. But avocados are tricky; if there’s one thing we can all …

Reinventing Mac and Cheese; Bacon Syrup Anyone?

By //  by Chef Christopher

It’s finally happening. After generations of unpronounceable ingredients resulting in hyper orange powder and a somewhat passable cheese flavor, Kraft Foods announced that they are changing ingredients in their much loved Kraft Dinner Mac and Cheese recipe. Starting in 2016 Kraft is going to use natural ingredients such as paprika and turmeric to color the cheese powder in an attempt to meet the request of over 300,000 people who signed an on-line petition asking the manufacturer to consider …

A Bunny Worthy Easter Brunch

By //  by Dee Brun

Easter Brunch is one of my favorite things. I think because it is an official sign that summer is finally on it's way. The colors of Easter are pretty and fun. Brunch in itself is FABOOSH because it is served late enough in the morning it is more than acceptable to have a cocktail. After all brunch without alcohol is just a sad late breakfast...and of course there is the chocolate. SO...let's start with THE BOOZE!! I love a good morning Sangria. The key is to keep it simple. A nice …

Creamy Perogie Dinner

By //  by Candace Sampson

There's been an interesting trend lately in my house—I hand my husband a recipe and he cooks it. I then photograph and eat it. In news that will surprise no one, I am really liking this trend. He was quick to jump in and make the Campbell's Chicken and Broccoli Alfredo and he insisted on  making this Campbell's Creamy Perogie Dinner. I will admit I was skeptical trying this. I am a perogie purist—onions, bacon, sour cream—nothing more, nothing less. I'm not joking when I say that a …
