Vegetarian Chili

Janel got this recipe from a friend (Becky Lehman) and when we make chili, this is the recipe we usually fall back on. You can adlib with a few things (we've added corn and mushrooms, for example) and if you need a little protein, you can add ground meat easily.

Cornbread

This is a real favorite here in Winnipeg.

Snow On A Mountain

We had this at a Ladies Rally in Emo, Ontario in June, 1981. It is a fun meal to serve, good to serve after you've just done a major grocery shopping since there are quite a few ingredients.
I don't know how many this serves, but would guess at least a dozen. When this is served the ingredients are served in order. Begin with the rice, then the chicken and gravy, followed by the remaining ingredients in the order given.

Chocolate Eclairs

These can be a bit tricky, both to make and to eat! Like a cream puff, just a little different shape.

We made these once when Erika was visiting Winnipeg and I was maybe 6 years old (?) and they made a big impression on me as decadent desserts.

Elbert Bakker
Sweet Seventeen Scones

This was a big success at Alleia's 17th birthday party. They tasted great. It would be pretty easy to swap out blueberries, almonds, and/or chocolate for the cranberry/orange combination, too.

Cauliflower Mac and Cheese

This is our go-to mac and cheese recipe for larger crowds. The cauliflower is optional but unobtrusive, so why not?

Vegetarian Haggis

Some friends sent us this recipe in preparation for a virtual Burn's Supper – and we were surprised that the kids rated it highly! No sheep entrails required.

Naan Bread

After enjoying naan bread at the Berkelaars I decided to try to make some. We like it a lot. Instead of a grill as the recipe suggested, I use our teflon electric skillet and like the way the bread turns out.

Makes about 20 pancake-sized breads.

Pizza

This is the recipe we use for our pizza crust every Saturday night. Dawn made it at Dordt once and when she had the pizza in the oven, opened the microwave and found the margarine. The pizza tasted fine, so now we just leave out the margarine.

Scottish Oat Cakes

They are really good slathered with apple sauce!
