The Big Summer Salad
Posted by Donna-Marie Pye on
This salad is an excellent example of using whatever you have on had to make a great meal. If you don't have heirloom tomatoes, just use cherry tomatoes (I love using red and yellow ones if you have them), substitute peaches or plums for the nectarines, romaine or spinach for kale, curly kale for Tuscan and even red wine or balsamic vinegar for white wine vinegar. And feel free to use store-bought croutons for the homemade ones. I'll even add some cooked chicken or beef to this salad for the whole-meal-deal! Go ahead, make it your own, but at least you've got something to start with.

Dutch Baby Pancake with Strawberry Preserves
Posted by Donna-Marie Pye on
If you've never made a Dutch baby, you are in for a treat. It's like a giant puffy pancake or popover but also part souffle. We love to make ours in a well-seasoned cast iron pan. It's a perfect weekend breakfast treat and something cottage go-ers will love ntoo. We've combined our version with a jar of Mrs. Bridges Strawberry Preserves, but with strawberries in season, it makes it easy to serve it with sliced, sweetened berries too!

Jalapeño Turkey Burgers
Posted by Donna-Marie Pye on
Favourite recipe alert! These jalapeño cheddar turkey burgers are at the top, top, top of meals I could eat for the rest of forever. The flavour is incredible. They are fast and easy to make and they are the perfect pack-and-go food to take to a cottage, trailer or camping. No need for all the bottles of condiments since they come with their own make-ahead topping.

CHOCOLATE SEMIFREDDO
Posted by Donna-Marie Pye on
Semifreddo—Italian for "half-cold" or "half frozen"—got its name because of its unique texture. Even though it's technically frozen, the Italian dessert stays soft and creamy. Unlike ice cream, semifreddo isn't churned. Whereas ice cream is scooped, semifreddo is molded and sliced, usually in a metal loaf pan.
STRAWBERRY BOURBON COBBLER
Posted by Donna-Marie Pye on
The cobbler dessert has been an American summer staple dessert since the 1850's and the first written recipe for a cobbler was published in 1881 by Abby Fisher an escaped slave. Junteenth celebrations (June 19th) are celebrated to commemorate the emancipation of enslaved people in the US. It also happens to fall on Father's Day in North America, so what better way to celebrate dad, then giving him a delicious seasonal dessert.
