Ontario

Ontario sits between the Great Lakes and Hudson Bay. No other Canadian province touches upon even a single Great Lake; Ontario touches upon all but Lake Michigan. Only Quebec province is larger, and no province is more populous. Ontario is one of four original provinces that entered into Confederation in 1867. After the American Revolution, many Americans loyal to the English crown fled to Canada. These new arrivals introduced American foods into Canadian cuisine: baked beans, fried chicken, and johnnycakes. Recently, immigration has expanded to include folks from all over the world. Canada’s largest city, Toronto, is a cosmopolitan and multicultural city in southern Ontario. Hungry Torontonians enjoy endless authentic ethnic food options. Ontario is orchard, berry, and wine country. Wild rice, collected along the shores of Ontario lakes, goes into casseroles, stews, and soups. Mushrooms, maple syrup, Cheddar cheese, farmed trout, and much of the pork that produces back bacon (a.k.a. Canadian bacon) comes from Ontario.

In an effort to get healthy I need to learn how to cook. I would love to say I am a great cook, but really all I can make is chicken and rice and my one lasagna recipe.

Maple Oat Bread

Reviewed on Jan. 5, 2009 by sugarwaffle
I don't know if I have just read the recipe completely wrong, but the list of ingredients calls for 1 1/3 cup warm water and the actual directions only call for 1/3 cup warm water. Beware. I am interested to see how badly this is going to turn out depending on whether I put in the right amount of water.

Baked Kale Chips

Reviewed on Jan. 5, 2009 by ShaunaMcC
So. Very. Good. I've been looking to an alternative to munching chips in front of the TV at night, and these are awesome, especially when you've had enough hummus for the week:). For those who were concerned about the ultra-crunchy crumbliness, (which in truth I kind of liked) I found that those Kale leaves that were folded in two (as it tends to do by itself if you don't unfold it as you place it on the pan) were a little more crunchy on parts and chewier in parts, if that's what you're going for. I had a mix of both and loved it. I kept a close eye on these and ended up happier with a tad lower temperature (around 330-340) and set the timer for 6 minutes and checked them, the first batch ready in 7 min, the second in 6 (hotter oven I guess). Halfway through eating these, I called my sister in law and HAD to tell her about them. Definitely a find. I will make these at my next family gathering. (My nephews and nieces have come to expect my unusual 'hippie' food:) )

Blueberry Cream Muffins

Reviewed on Jan. 5, 2009 by susiekew
Not difficult to make, and pretty tasty. Makes a lot more than 24 muffins, if you just make regular sized muffins. Thanks for the recipe!
