Grilled Flank Steak Salad with Smoked Paprika Dressing Recipe by Cookin Canuck

Maybe it’s the fireworks or the parades, but the beginning of July always feels like the start of one big summertime party. Yesterday, July 1st, was Canada Day and my family honored the day with a rousing (if not overly-dramatic and out-of-tune)…

Thai Jicama & Red Onion Salad Recipe

Thai Jicama & Red Onion Salad Recipe by Cookin Canuck

Low Fat Granola Bars with Mango, Hazelnut & Ginger Recipe by Cookin Canuck

Strawberry, Brie Cheese, Honey & Basil Crostini Recipe by Cookin Canuck

The first time my brother-in-law offered to cook for us, I pasted a smile on my face and stifled an urge to run for the hills.

Each summer since then, I posted a new version: Summer Cherry & Crystalized Ginger Crumb Bars,…
