Mitch's Homemade Dill Pickles by Micheline

These homemade dill pickles are so tasty and easy to make. They taste much better than store bought pickles except for Mrs. White's, my favourite. You can make them spicier by adding hot peppers to the brine.

Cinnamon swirl banana bread by Micheline

This tasty, sweet and comforting banana bread is one of my favourite treats. It is a bit sweeter than other banana breads but is so delicious with a cup of hot earl grey tea.

Roasted spicy chicken wings with goat cheese dip by Micheline

These wings taste better than at the restaurant and are healthier. People are always surprised to find out that my chicken wings can be so delicious when roasted instead of fried. I serve them with a goat cheese dip (less fat) instead of the traditional blue cheese dip with celery and carrot sticks.

Jean's Potato Salad by Micheline

My friend Jean makes one of the best potato salad I have tasted. She shared her recipe with me. Here is her easy, quick and tasty recipe. Great for a potluck. I have also modified it several times by adding: diced bacon, diced celery and diced sweet pickles. Both ways, it is delicious.

This is a very appealing dessert made with fresh strawberries, angel food cake and sweet creamy layers. Serve it in a deep glass bowl or trifle bowl for a spectacular presentation. Prepare ahead as you will need to refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours.

This is my favourite vinaigrette or salad dressing. A sweet (but not too sweet), flavourful dressing for your favourite green salad. I usually add julienned carrots, julienned zucchini, sliced green onions, mesclun mix (various mixed greens), green olives with pimiento, cherry tomatoes, sliced strawberries. Voilà!

Spicy Salmon and Cucumber Appetizer by Rich Fletcher

I grew up having these little salmon and cucumber sandwichs... which were always nice. Finally decided to try a version more to my liking. Alaska Wild Salmon, with red onion, cucumber, chili pepper, and in place of mayo is my favourite caesar dressing. Simple, and easy. Good for crackers , toast, sandwichs or anything else you want…
