Refreshing Summer Drinks
Summer is here so I thought we would take a break from food recipes and quench our thirst instead. When I think of sitting on the deck in summer, I think of having a nice cold drink in my hand.

I wanted to share a recipe that not only warms my belly, but also warms my heart. This special dish must be one of my favourites and often my choice when asked for a request. You can’t beat crock pot meals during busy times.
I know Ukraine is in a lot of our thoughts and prayers so I thought this month the recipe should be a celebration of the Ukrainian culture. My Aunt used to make Borscht soup a lot and it is a very traditional Ukrainian recipe.
Today I have a recipe that was shared by one our clients, Mary Lips. Mary has been making this loaf for about 30 years and her family still can't get enough of it. I decided to try this the other day and it took me 20 minutes tops to prepare.
This month Stacey is sharing her favourite Christmas recipe. With the Holidays comes traditions and with my family coming from both Dutch and German roots one of our favorite treats is Kringle. For my family every Christmas morning after gifts we enjoy fresh from the oven Kringle.
This is a quick and simple recipe to enjoy on cool fall days. I like this recipe as it only takes 30 minutes to prepare from start to finish but if you are having company most of the work can be done in advance so it is heat and serve.
There is no time in the morning for cooking, but I like my family to eat healthy, so I found this recipe for Spinach and Feta Egg Cups. They look delicious and can be made ahead of time so all you need to do in the morning is heat them up.
If you’re like me, your oven basically is not in service over the summer. I opt for the grill all summer long so I thought this month I would do another recipe for the grill. This time it is mouthwatering steak.
Rubbed Pork Tenderloin. You can prepare the night before and put on the BBQ only a few minutes before mealtime; finishing off the meal with whatever you prefer; baked potato, roasted vegetables (both done on the BBQ while the meat is cooking) or for me a nice side salad hits the spot.
As summer is upon us, I am looking for recipes that do not require a lot of cooking time. I want something fast and light. These wraps fit the bill. They are easy to make and taste great.
Farmers are crazy busy during planting season, so odds are someone else is planning and cooking their meals. Cooking 3 meals a day is a lot of work, never mind that these meals have to be ready to eat in the field. That is why we are dedicating this month’s recipe article to all those hardworking cooks out there.
COOKING with Janine: Our recipe this month - Chocolate Black Bean Cookies. Black bean cookies? You bet. These cookies made with black beans are a healthy dessert that tastes chocolate-y and satisfying.
