Happy Canada Day!

Hello Reader

Happy Canada Day!

Whether you’re lighting the grill, hosting friends and neighbours, or just in the mood for something sweet with a hint of maple, you’re in the right place.

Just in time for Canada Day, I've brought together the best of Canadian-inspired flavours with smoky BBQ favourites to our favourite desserts. Let’s dig in, raise a glass, and celebrate this beautiful country one delicious bite at a time.

Maple Mustard Glazed Salmon

Maple mustard glazed salmon is full on with flavour; sweet syrup and tingly mustard, smoothed over soft and flaky fish. As an oven-baked salmon recipe it means no fried fish fumes and is the tastiest way to get fish to your family.

Best Homemade Burgers

Break out the BBQ and make these burger patties for the best, juiciest homemade burgers! Then take them up a notch by adding 2 Hour Hamburger Buns and our special burger sauce.

Cedar Plank Salmon

Looking for log cabin rustic charm all summer long? This recipe for a herby, mayo-smothered and forest-infused whole side of salmon is only 10 minutes to prepare and then pure hands-free grill time.

Dill Potato Salad

This dill potato salad gets a flavour boost from green onions, tangy dill pickles, and a generous handful of fresh herbs and microgreens. A bright, refreshing side that’s made for summer picnics and BBQs.

Classic Nanaimo Bars

These no-bake chocolate covered bars with a creamy custard filling on a crumbly chocolate coconut base are too good to leave till Christmas!

Maple Butter Tarts

Flaky mini pastry tarts filled with delicious custard, raisins and walnuts. These maple butter tarts are delicious and a true Canadian classic.

​
Wishing you a flavourful week ahead!
