Chili

This is my favourite Chili recipe. It was handed down from Toni, it may have been adjusted a little over the years. Chili is a spicy stew. The name “chili con carne” is taken from Spanish, and means “peppers with meat.” Traditional versions are made, minimally, from chili peppers, garlic, onions, and cumin, along with chopped or ground beef. Beans and tomatoes are frequently included.

Butter Tarts

A butter tart is a type of small pastry tart highly regarded in Canadian cuisine and considered one of Canada’s quint essential desserts. The tart consists of butter, sugar, syrup, and egg filled into a flaky pastry and baked until the filling is semi-solid with a crunchy top.

Brownies

A chocolate brownie is a flat, baked square or bar.  The brownie is a cross between a cake and a cookie in texture.  Brownies come in a variety of forms. They are either fudge or cake “like”, depending on their density, and they may include nuts, frosting, chocolate chips, or other ingredients. A variation that is made with brown sugar and no chocolate is called a blondie.
