Others get fired up over a DIY recipe, like my Spiced Preserved Lemons, but then don’t 3 SIMPLE WAYS TO STORE ONLINE RECIPES I love poring through cookbooks, especially when they have color photos and richly descriptive text. But when it comes down to it, about 75 percent of the recipes I use on a regular basis come from the Internet. Betty Crockers of the post-modern world have a plethora of recipes at their disposal, but it’s easily overwhelming. The Internet is a huge place, so how do you organize all the HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN FRUIT-BOTTOM YOGURT We’re so pleased to have Cheri Neufeld of Kitchen Simplicity back as a regular contributor. Welcome, Cheri! Growing up, Fruit-Bottom Yogurt was always my favorite. I got so excited when I would see one packed in my lunch box. Somehow they always seemed more flavorful then regular yogurt and I loved how the little chunks of fruit would add a burst of flavor in my mouth. HOW TO BUILD POWER BOWLS Recipes and tips for cooking nourishing power bowls at home. With a little creativity and a lot of flexibility, nourishing power bowls are a fantastic family dinner plan. They are great use of leftovers, feature pantry ingredients and can be customized to suit the different taste preferences around the table. Sure, macaroni and cheese is great, but we can’t eat it all the time!MEET AIMÉE

PLAN A MOTHER'S DAY PICNIC WITH 5 DO-AHEAD Last week I had the perfect Mother’s Day picnic all planned to share with you. The menu was set, the shopping lists complete, and a good amount of prep work was crossed off. I even had a picturesque spot picked out: the low, flat rock wall edging my neighbour’s garden. And then the weatherman predicated rain all day Saturday. We had guests invited for Sunday dinner (a regular DIY: STIR-FRY VEGETABLE FREEZER PACKAGES With late summer produce so plentiful and affordable at the markets, it makes sense to stock up while the “going” is good. A recent chat with my mother about preserving garden vegetables turned me on to this idea for freezing blanched (lightly cooked) stir-fry vegetables in meal-sized portions. The concept is simple – prepare and cook vegetables separately, then combine them and package HOW TO MAKE HOMEMADE HEAD CHEESE Well, after four and a half years of blogging in this space, here we are with a title that may or may not get me into trouble. It was a short interview with Dan Barber that gave me the gumption to share this charcuterie tutorial of sorts. He was talking about his theory of The Third Plate and the need to support the whole farm with our eatingchoices.
THE BEST PICNIC FOODS (COLD PICNIC BARBECUE CHICKEN RECIPE) The Best Picnic Foods. The elements of a great picnic should include: gorgeous seasonal produce, a special drink, really good cheese, a substantial main dish and a decadent sweet treat. You don’t always have to pack every element all at once, though. Sometimes a picnic is simply a basket of fresh-picked apples, a hunk of aged cheddar cheese and a thermos of hot spiced cider. MAKE OLD-FASHIONED BRINE FERMENTED PICKLES LIKE YOUR GREAT I’m standing at the kitchen counter of the cabin my husband built for us when we moved off-grid. It’s over 90 degrees, it’s approaching the lunch hour, and my three children, aged 1 – 6, are getting hungry. A set of red headed pigtails is at my side while I chop the mid-summer vegetables that need preserving – summer squash, cucumber, and a few green tomatoes that came off the vines HOW TO KNOW WHEN IT IS TIME TO TAP MAPLE TREES It is vital to remember that a tree is a living thing, even when it is sleeping all winter long, and that it can (and will) heal itself. When you tap a tree in the spring, it is the equivalent to a human getting a small cut, which will will slowly scar over to stop the loss ofbodily fluids.

MY FAVOURITE COOKBOOKS OF 2020 _A round-up of the outstanding cookbooks of 2020, featuring family dinner, bold flavours, the joy of pie_ _and much more._ Yesterday I sat down with a notepad and a stack of cookbooks to make a menu plan for the week. Leafing through the pages, I was filled with a tangible sense of gratitude. I’m so fortunate to be able to outline our eats for seven days straight. It is a absolute privilege to be able to plan out holiday nibbles, brunch baking and Christmas confections, too. I don’t take my food security _or_ the cookbook collection for granted. I am thankful.by Aimee

Traveling
A FALL ESCAPE TO CAPE BRETON _Join me virtually for a culinary adventure around the world-famous Cabot Trail on beautiful Cape Breton Island._ Thanks to an Atlantic Canada travel bubble, those of us in the Maritimes are able to move around from province to province without needing to self-quarantine.

or city staycation. Last weekend we crossed an item off the TOP of our Bucket List: driving the stunning Cape Breton Island Cabot Trail inpeak autumn.
