Mari's Secret Granola Recipe – the holy grail of spices & Nuts
I created this granola recipe as a gift just for our readers and when guests arrive in my home. I also make as a hostess gift, packing it in clear pantry jars with a ribbon and note. Everyone loves it! It truly is the best I’ve ever tried.
The combination of toasted nuts, fresh nutmeg, sweet coconut, and cardamom take this granola over the top for us.
Crunchy granola
Plant-based curried pumpkin and sweet potato soup
Perfect weather for comforting soup.
Acorn squash with spiced honey butter and pomegranate
Fork-tender acorn squash given the slightest zing with cayenne pepper, and decked with festive pomegranate.
Hot Rum Toddy
Honey Roasted Rainbow Carrots and parsnips with Medjool dates and toasted hazelnuts
This special vegetable dish could take centre stage, inspired by my love of Top Chef Canada Eden Grinshpan’s Recipe the combination of slightly charred vegetables (created by roasting directly on a baking dish), toasted nuts, honey and dates is incredible.
Baby arugula with panko crusted goat cheese, olives and honey
This dish is all about texture, with the smooth goat cheese playing off its Panko crust, the tender arugula paired with dressed-up olives. So beautiful and so good.
