Full main course dish--tossed salad on the side
Recipe can be doubled for a larger crowd-it is a family crowd one dish meal.
This is the recipe that my Mother made on a regular basis my whole childhood. Now I do it, but most of the time it's at Christmas time for my brother's who love it!
This is my approximation of the roasted carrots that were served as part of the meal at Toronto's Famous People Players. The meals there are cooked and served by individuals with physical and mental disabilities - and if you didn't know ahead of time, you could never tell. There's enough liquid in this recipe that it forms a wonderful sauce... perfect for pouring over a salmon steak and rice for dinner.
Insanely rich custard gets lightened with whipped egg whites for a delicious mousse that's perfect for topping fruit or filling cakes. This does contain raw egg whites.
spiced cookies, usually eaten around Christmas (as they are supposed to be, not substituted, as my husband wanted to bake them)
One of my favorite holiday cookies! I've cut the recipe in half, since the original recipe made a lot of cookies!
Good for a light vegan lunch, stacks of broiled eggplant and tomatoes, basil and vegan parmesan get just a sprinkle of salt and pepper before being finished with balsamic and served warm. Makes a good appetizer too, just portion one stack per person instead of 6!
Saltines make an unusual but refreshingly salty base for the fairly cloying sugary shoofly pie filling in this recipe. It makes a 6" pie, which is good because it's SO rich!
A Christmas made straight from the heart... and home! Buckwheat flour added into the crust makes for both a tender and flavourful dough. A layer of thin apple slices underneath hearty spiced mincemeat adds texture and interest to the dessert too! I used my own home-made mincemeat for this, but jarred is fine... just pick one you like!
I highly recommend you serve this with rum raisin ice cream!
These are insanely powerful cookies that I adapted from an Eric Vellend recipe in the Toronto Star. They've got both a full tablespoon of each ground espresso AND Kahlua in them - they'll keep your party lively for sure!!

A Canadian cobbler with a maple syrup sauce under a rich and rustic scone-like topping. The syrup soaks in somewhat and makes it like the British Sticky Toffee Pudding.
This is my version of a recipe available on the Alberta Egg Board’s website. It’s a delicious, light and moist cake, and one that you can serve for dessert one evening and for breakfast the next day!
Low Fat, Low Calorie, Delicious version of a traditional holiday favorite.
At least you know what's in it... and there are no tempting leftovers!
I ran across a Chocolate, Cranberry Oat Bar recipe, but since all my Christmas recipes thus far had chocolate and nuts, I decided to change it up a bit. What a nice change!!
One of my favorite holiday cookies! I cut the recipe in half, for convenience. Enjoy!
