New recipe alert just in time for your Easter dinner!  I think Grandma Morton would have approved of my delightful adaption of her famous scalloped potato recipe.  The addition of Dijon mustard and parmesan cheese to her original recipe are a fun twist.  This is a very creamy dish with just a hint of mustard, and it will pair beautifully with your Easter ham.  Oh, and it was taste tested and approved by all the ladies in my book club!

While we are always #AgProud here at the farm, today is a special day.  Canada’s Agriculture Day was created to recognize the work of all those who help produce the food that Canadians and people around the world eat. Every year on this day I release a new recipe to get you excited about eating locally grown and produced food.  This year I settled on a new breakfast twice baked potato containing ingredients you can source at your local grocery store all year round.
 
To make my “Potato Benedict” you need to start with one of our russet potatoes and make a traditional twice baked potato.  Cover the potato generously with fresh bacon pieces.  Add one poached egg and Hollandaise sauce (or a sunny-side up egg if you prefer.)  Serve with a fruit bowl for a complete and wholesome breakfast.

As the polar vortex settles in over Southern Ontario and plunges us into a deep freeze, I’m happy to share a new recipe for some comfort food that will hopefully warm you up a little bit.  I’m honestly not sure what took me so long to publish a crock pot recipe since I am a huge fan of preparing food in a crock pot.  This is a super easy side dish to prepare and is packed with tons of flavour. Diced yellow potatoes are coated with olive oil, garlic and a variety of spices.  Toss them in the crock pot and cook for 3 hours.  Set out on a serving platter, garnish the spuds with fresh parsley and rosemary leaves and enjoy.

Do you have too many leftovers after a big family gathering? I always do, and sometimes I get tired of eating reheated plates of food.  My new festive leftover casserole is something completely different and is packed with flavour.  The first layer is leftover stuffing.  It’s covered with turkey mixed with vegetables, a thickened stock and cranberries.  The final layer is mashed potatoes enhanced with sage, onion powder and thyme.  Top with a few pats of butter and pop it into the oven.  Casseroles are very difficult to take photos of, so trust me when I say this tastes even better than it looks.

Yum…butter chicken.  Welcome to my latest installment of why use “Skip The Dishes” when you can cook and “Eat Your Dishes!”  I’m very lucky to have many friends who love to cook as much as I do.  This recipe was created with my good friend Nadene Whitefield and it will not disappoint.  Large russet potatoes are baked and the flesh is removed.  The skins are then filled with tasty butter chicken, broccoli and cauliflower.  The potato flesh is turned into a complimentary side dish called “Golden Turmeric Potatoes.”  This hearty recipe will really hit the spot as we slide into winter here in Southern Ontario.
