Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip Birthday Cookies
For anyone who knows me, you know I have a  never-ending love of cookies (especially chocolate chip) and anything salted caramel. In my house, I'm known as the "Cookie Monster". That's why I'm often in the Relish kitchen baking up a batch of something addictive and appealing. Since it's my birthday on February 26 (and a significant one too), I am sharing a favourite cookie recipe with our Relish followers. Like any recipe, the better the quality the ingredients, the better the cookie - trust me. If you feel like dropping some off, you'll know they will be well loved! Happy Birthday From Me

Chef Michael Smith's Winterberry Shortcake
Ok Relish friends, you've been so good all month. Have you noticed we've been feeding you recipes with a nod to healthy eating this month - from whole grains to bright greens? However, we take a break during this regularly scheduled time to give you something sweet and delicious. Our friends at Meyer Cookware have established relationships with many Canadian chef's and celebrities - Chef Michael Smith being one of them. Today's recipe is one he developed for Meyer but also speaks to our desire to cook what's in our refrigerator or freezer this month. Instead of using fresh, hard and tasteless strawberries, try using frozen. They are picked and processed ripe in season and they are delicious with a bit of cooking. It will satisfy your craving for Ontario strawberries while you await true summer berries.

Cranberry Spiced Snack Mix
You can't go to a holiday party without a bowl of this fun party snack mix appearing. The original recipe came out in 1952 when it appeared on the back of the Chex cereal box. It's been tweaked and revised many times over the years and this version is no different. Feel free to put your own spin on it by skipping the nuts or making it vegan or gluten-free. It rarely lasts long once the bowl is put out!
