Prairie Fare: Heavenly Devilled Eggs

By Julie Garden-Robinson April 22, 2016

A couple of weeks ago, my daughters and I were preparing food one afternoon for guests arriving the next day. I wrote a list of things to do. My older daughter enjoys eggs, so she wanted to complete the “hard cook one-dozen eggs” item from my list. Although “hard boiled” often is used to describe

Gate to Plate: ‘Planned Over’  Cajun Ham Hash  and ‘Freeze Ahead’  Holay Molay Chili 

By Lorraine Stevenson April 15, 2016

Here’s a term we’ve been hearing lately — the “obesogenic environment.” Do you live in one? It means any place where it’s all too easy to eat poorly and not very conducive to getting much exercise. That’s where a lot of us are at, according to the newly released Obesity in Canada report by the

Prairie Fare: Peanut Butter Black Bean Brownies

By Julie Garden-Robinson April 1, 2016

One evening, I preheated our ovens. They are stacked with a small upper oven and a regular-size lower oven. As the ovens heated, I finished preparing some garlic toast to go under the broiler. My daughter made some brownies to go in the lower oven. After about 15 minutes, I opened the oven to pop

What’s for dinner?

Prairie Fare: Cowboy Caviar and Slow Cooker Corned Beef, Barley and Cabbage

By Julie Garden-Robinson March 18, 2016

On the way home one day, my husband and I were discussing the eternal question, “What’s for dinner?” Our daughters were sitting in the backseat, observing their sometimes embarrassing “parental units.” I think my husband felt the need to “ham it up” for the entertainment factor. “How about spaghetti and meatballs for dinner?” I asked.

Prairie Fare: Mediterranean Stew

By Julie Garden-Robinson March 11, 2016

When I opened the front door of our home one day, my nose detected a wonderful aroma. I knew my husband had a food preparation “project” in progress and our family would be the delighted recipients. He had made homemade pastrami. The process involved brining the beef, applying a rub, smoking it on the grill

Have you ever eaten edamame?

Prairie Fare: Soy and Spinach Artichoke Dip

By Julie Garden-Robinson February 19, 2016

What is that?” my husband asked. I think I detected a note of disdain in his voice. I could almost see a thought bubble above his head with, “What is she trying now?” I was putting the contents of a bag of steamed edamame in a bowl. Yes, they looked a little like fuzzy green

Prairie Fare: Raspberry Applesauce Squares

By Julie Garden-Robinson February 12, 2016

I recall a little incident that taught me a lesson a few years ago. My nose detected an unpleasant scent. My brain recognized the odour and soon my feet were running down the hall. I think I leaped over my then-three-year-old daughter on the way to the kitchen. “What smells?” my son asked as I

Prairie Fare: Oatmeal Jam Squares

By Julie Garden-Robinson January 29, 2016

When I was young, my mom used to save the water from cooked vegetables and put it in soup. She also saved water from boiled potatoes if she was making bread the next day. The potato water contained starch to feed the yeast, so the bread turned out better with potato water, she said. We

Prairie Fare: Chicken and Biscuits Pot Pie

By Julie Garden-Robinson January 22, 2016

Mom, your feet shook!” my 12-year-old daughter said with a laugh. “What was that, anyway?” I asked groggily with wide-open eyes. She had dropped a heavy book on the wood floor near me to awaken me. The loud thump certainly worked. I’m lucky my family didn’t need a defibrillator because I nearly had a heart
