"With all of the Canadians here in Zaar, I was surprised that I could not find a copycat recipe for the Canadian fried pastry sold as Beavertails®! Strange name, I know, but they are soooo good. Anyone who has been skating on the Rideau Canal is sure to have tried one and I have even seen them being sold in Halifax. I think they have something similar..."

"From the mid 1950's, an easy and fast child pleaser, with a few variables to move the taste point around.

"My sister-in-law got this recipe from my brother's postdoc advisor's wife in Edmonton in the 1970's. It is a very moist chocolate cake with a surprise ingredient - beets! I have tried it with orange extract instead of peppermint, and it came out fantastic. You can also leave out the peppermint altogether if you want just plain chocolate."

Ingredients: eggs, oil, peppermint extract...

"Mothers used to carry around a mixture of fennel, anise, dill, and caraway seeds. They would give them to their kids to munch on at church when they were bored or hungry. I know this sounds weird, but I decided to try combining these into a snack bar. These are packed with good stuff, tasty, and very filling. They will give you energy to carry on..."

"We have new neighbours who moved in recently. Their dog is supposedly an English sheepdog - I say "supposedly" because he strikes me as a bit of a wimp and I don't think he could chase a sheep if his life depended on it! In any case, his humans apparently cook this stuff for their "precious" little doggie all the time and, though..."

Ingredients: eggs, lamb, olive oil...

"This is my copycat recipe for the Canadian version of Elephant Ears, often called or sold as "Beavertails". Try them with garlic and butter or chocolate syrup or a fruity jam. A lot of steps but not so overly time consuming that they are not worth the little extra effort!!! Enjoy them!! I don't have an idea how many this makes as the..."

Ingredients: cinnamon, eggs, warm water...

"I made this one night as a quick-fix dinner after craving chocolate pancakes, or ANYTHING chocolatey all day. To my surprise, it turned out to be quite delicious and something I will definitely be making regularly. And, as a bonus, it is packed with protein- about 28 grams altogether- so it's great for your body.

This was quite satisfying..."

Ingredients: cocoa powder, egg whites...

"this recipe was "published" 20 years ago in a small Mennonite community in Saskatchewan for a Church cookbook. Still, it makes up a great "crackers and meat" hors d'ourve and gives us some clue as to true "Heritage" cooking! In my DS's family, this was a staple at Christmas and New Years and so I have to share..."

Ingredients: pork rinds, pork hocks...

"Here is a really different recipe I stumbled across for brown bread ice cream. Just the name made me want to try it, and I was glad I did. This recipe requires you to make a custard base and I have given the directions in the recipe. Cook time includes freeze time and this varies from machine to machine. Really great to cool off with and enjoy!"

Ingredients: eggs, light cream...
