My new recipe for curry sweet corn soup should help you fight through some of the absolutely icky weather we’re experiencing this November in Southern Ontario.  This soup pleases the palette with a balanced flavour of sweet and savory.  A simple soup base is prepared using every day pantry items.  Add some vegetable or chicken broth and potatoes to thicken the soup.  Pop in some sweet corn and simmer until heated.  The finishing garnish can be your choice of slivered red bell peppers or finely sliced red chili peppers.  The final result is colourful, flavourful and simply delicious.  I guarantee you will make this more than once!

Today is National Potato Day, and to celebrate the humble potato I am releasing a new potato salad recipe.  This recipe uses mini new potatoes which have a delicate skin, a fresh flavour and are only available this time of year.  Fresh herbs, hard boiled eggs and my original creamy dressing are all you need to complete this salad.  You will really impress when you serve this salad, and there’s no need to mention that it only takes about an hour to prepare!
 
Here are my top three tips for making a perfect potato salad: Generously salt the water when you’re cooking the potatoes.  Let the potatoes cool to room temperature before adding any other ingredients.  Make your potato salad the day before you plan on serving it so you can adjust the dressing and seasonings.

Heads up Gen Z!  This one’s for you!  I have spent the last 10 months writing a small cookbook called “Feed Your Brain!”  My learn-to-cook cookbook is for students who are heading off to live on their own for the first time.  It takes into consideration your limited experience, time, money and kitchen constraints.  You will learn how to make yourself simple, healthy (mostly) and guaranteed delicious meals using one of the easiest ingredients in the world to cook with: The Humble Potato.  My cookbook is packed full of tips for ways to save money, simple shortcuts to save time and above all feed your brain with healthy food so you can focus on your higher education fueled with excellent energy.
 
And before you roll your eyes - just to prove that you got this - every recipe has been tested and approved by a Gen Z student.  You’ll see their testimonial quotes and photos of the food they made at the top of every recipe.  Here’s a little sample of what two of my Gen Z volunteers had to say:
 
“It’s a game changer in my kitchen because it was surprisingly delicious for how simple it is!  Minimal effort created maximum flavour.” Lisa
 
“I think you did an amazing job on making people feel like you’re literally with them helping/cheering.  It’s so well catered to people not just new but a little bit nervous about cooking.” Victoria

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.
