Roast Chicken with Farro & Spring Peas
Posted by Donna-Marie Pye on
Hello spring, or as I like to call it - 'Sprinter'. As we transition our cooking from low and slow comfort meals to light and easy spring-inspired ideas, this quick and nutritious weekday dinner, is a perfect option. You can substitute purchased rotisserie chicken for roasted chicken in this recipe. Leftovers can also be chilled and tossed with lemon or your favourite vinegar to make a satisfying lunch salad.

Light and fluffy drop biscuits baked with Cheddar, Gruyère and oven baked ham, then finished with a swipe of honey butter. What could be easier? Ideal for an Easter brunch or quick lunch with homemade soup. - Recipe courtesy of Weekend At The Cottage
Croque Madame
Posted by Donna-Marie Pye on
In honour of mom's everywhere, we are sharing a recipe for one of our favourite sandwiches - the Croque Madame. If you've never had a croque madame before, you are in for a treat. This sandwich originates in the bars and cafes of France and begins as a "Croque Monsieur", but when you pop a fried egg on top you transform into a Croque Madame. It requires a knife and fork to eat this outrageously cheesy sandwich and is perfect as a lunch or light dinner. Serve it with spring greens tossed with a light vinaigrette (and perhaps a glass of rosé). Happy Mother's Day everyone.

Lemon Ricotta Pancakes
Posted by Donna-Marie Pye on
The most moist and delicious lemony pancakes! You don't even taste the ricotta, it just lends richness and moisture. These have been on of our favourites for years and I often make them when I have a half a carton of ricotta leftover. My favourite way to serve them is with warmed maple syrup and a dollop of blueberry jam or fresh blueberries.
