Lamb is delicious but sometime the leftovers can seem fatty or strongly-flavoured. Try this stuffed tomato to use up leftover cooked lamb-it’s full of Mediterranean flavours of feta, tomato and mint.

Make this pub treat at home for the whole family to enjoy. Use spicy sausage, if you prefer. If you don’t have a large pie plate, you can stack everything on a rimmed baking sheet.

This easy food processor pie dough was developed for our Mile High Spinach Pie recipe, but you can use it with any savoury pie. The finished dough is very easy to work with, so perfect for pie making novices. If using for a sweet pie, add 1 tbsp (15 mL) sugar when you add the salt.

Here’s a holiday cookie gum craft you can make with small kids. A fun family activity for a Saturday afternoon.

Horseradish and spicy mustard give this easy cocktail sauce a kick. Try with any seafood hors d’oeuvre.

As with all stir fries, it pays to be prepared: do all your slicing and dicing and line up your ingredients before you turn on the stove. If you like, serve in crepes instead of over rice or noodles.

Meyer lemons are sweeter and less acidic than regular lemons, making them perfect for desserts. This bar makes a nice addition to a dessert tray, where the rule of thumb is one lemon item, one chocolate item and one nut item.

Memories of Morocco + your slow cooker = the easiest tagine ever! Browning the lamb in a frying pan first adds extra layers of flavour that you wouldn’t get if you just put the meat raw in the slow cooker. Couscous is the traditional accompaniment.

Expand your turkey leftover repertoire with this classic turkey-and-potatoes croquette. Serve with a green salad, and if you like, leftover cranberry sauce.

Thumbprint cookies are a classic holiday cookie that you can enjoy year-round. Often made with almonds or walnuts, we’ve used pistachios in this easy version that uses our cookie mix as a base. Get the kids to help by making indentations in the cookie dough. Store baked cookies in an airtight container; fill with jam just before serving.
