Relish Recipes

When the winter weather turns wicked, I like to whip up a pot of this hearty and healthy Italian soup. It not only warms you, but it's a good source of protein and fibre., thanks to the sausage, white beans and kale.

Many of you will recognize our recipe contributor today. It's Chef Patrick Mathieu otherwise known as the Stationhouse Chef or on Instagram as @stationhouse_. For many years, Chef Patrick's date night classes were some of our most popular and our loyal followers loved attending. In case this is your first introduction to Patrick, he is most often found as Captain on one of the Waterloo Region's Fire Department teams. 

These overnight oats get a protein boost from Greek-style yogurt, peanut butter and soy milk, combining for 17 grams of protein per serving. We mix it up with chopped strawberries, but any berry or chopped fruit with pair nicely with this easy grab and go breakfast.

For many years, chef and business own Dana Shortt was a valued colleague as well as Relish fan. Early on in our Relish journey, Dana came and taught a class based on some of her favourite Ina Garten recipes. This simple breakfast parfait was a hit with the class and showed how easy, simple entertaining could be. Dana, of course made everything look Tik Tok worthy even before the TT days! We are pleased to be carrying the Dana Shortt Gourmet Fruit and Nut Granola on our store shelf this holiday season. It's a great addition to the breakfast table if you have holiday guests.

One of our first guest instructors, Chef Emily Richards made this delicious dip at a class we called 'Hosting A Holiday Open House' back in December 2015. We loved it and thought it's time to pull it out of the archives. Break up a loaf of rye or pumpernickel bread or veggies (if you must) to serve it.
