Cranberry & Wild Rice Stuffing

Cranberry & Wild Rice Stuffing Are you looking for something a little different for this upcoming holiday? Why not try our recipe for Cranberry & Wild Rice Stuffing. Whether you're serving turkey or chicken, this recipe will work for either. Recently, I served this Cranberry & Wild Rice Stuffing along with more than 65 pounds of roast turkey to approximately 40 University Students. The dressing and turkey were a huge hit as there wasn't a single spoon of dressing left over and only about 6 ounces of turkey and one wing. I cooked and stuffed 5 turkeys in total. Below is the recipe (sized down for one turkey) that I served on Sunday....

Alice & Kelly’s Wedding

Alice & Kelly's Wedding October 4th was a wild day for weather but a beautiful day for Alice & Kelly's wedding. This lovely couple got married and Mother Nature behaved during the most important parts of the day. The ceremony was beautiful and dinner went off without having to provide little umbrellas for all the food. Shortly after 12:30 the ceremony took place at the bride's parent's home in North Bay.

Regardless, it is a great video that highlights some of the attractions and local business opportunities in North Bay. It has a catchy tune and great layout! Here's the video for your viewing pleasure:    

Venison Wellington Recipe, a deer hunting season favourite

Venison Wellington. Glam up your venison recipes. Fall has arrived and deer season for bow hunters has been open for a little while. I was given a beautiful venison loin the other day and decided to try making Venison Wellington, something a bit different than my usual venison stroganoff or loin steak & wild mushrooms. Whether you are an avid hunter or the fortunate recipient of venison, you'll love this twist on the traditional wellington made with beef. Harvested deer is one of the best organic meats you can find. What a better way to ensure hormone and antibiotic free meat. Traditionally, you baste a beef tenderloin with English must...

Bacon Wrapped Figs & Dates

Bacon Wrapped Figs & Dates I had the pleasure of catering a wonderful outdoor wedding this past weekend. Northern Ontario has some of the most amazing scenery for a fall wedding. We're surrounded with so many species of trees that the colours are boundless and plentiful. From oranges to brilliant reds to the more subdued yellows we are blessed to live in a country where nature lends to the perfect back drop for a wedding. One of the inclusions to dinner was a mixture of Bacon Wrapped Dates & Figs. I chose to have a couple of different cheeses as well. Using both blue cheese and goat cheese gave the guests the opportunity to experience a ...

Coconut Curry Pumpkin Soup

Today, I made my test batch of this heart warming soup for a wedding that is coming up this weekend. Alice and Kelly chose this soup to go along with lamb and turkey as their proteins.  I'm so very excited to share this soup not only with the guests at the wedding but also with our followers. Pumpkins come in all shapes and sizes but by far the best to cook with are the smaller, vibrant orange ones called "Pie Pumpkins". The pie pumpkin is much smaller than the traditional Jack-O-Lantern and has a denser flesh which makes it perfect for roasting, stewing or using in a stir fry. I post this recipe with instructions on how to roast the ...
