Welcome To My Kitchen
A Donair is a variation on the doner kebab. It was originally introduced in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada in the early 1970s. The meat and sauce are served rolled in a flat-bread pita with diced tomato and onion. The Donair is very popular throughout the Atlantic provinces of Canada. This recipe makes about 12 donairs (I vacuum seal the meat in two bags – Makes 6 each).
Banana bread is a type of bread that is made with mashed fully ripe bananas.
These waffles are super crisp on the outside and light as a feather inside and so scrumptious! I like them nice and golden brown, crispy. Makes 6 large waffles.
Corn Fritters are a great little fried appetizer, this side dish is best served with steaks or similar dish; it can be made with apples instead of corn to make a nice dessert.

This is by far my favourite soup. It is a hardy soup that is great on a cold winter day.
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.
This is a great stuffing recipe that Pam makes.
Turkey stuffing usually consists of bread crumbs or cubed, dried bread, with onion, celery, salt, pepper, and other spices and herbs such as sage or a mixture like poultry seasoning.
This is the recipe for the awesome Caramel spread. Kids love it on toast or better yet a great partner for French Toast. This recipe makes 6 jars (250ml).
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.
French toast is a dish of bread soaked in eggs then fried, a weekend staple in many canadian families. As a kid, I knew if the weekend started with French Toast then it was destined to be a great weekend.
Note: older bread will less likely produce soggy French Bread, as well the longer you soak the bread the more egg/milk mixture get to the middle producing a softer center.
This is a french dessert that was given to my mom by a one of her french neighbours from Quebec. This version has more of a creamy pudding type texture than the original versions. This is a family Christmas specialty that everyone enjoys. This treat can easily be frozen for future enjoyment. Takes about 25 minute to prepare and makes about 4 pies or 60 small tarts.
This has been one of my favourite pasta dishes for many years. It is quite simple to make with little prep time.
Best served with fettuccini noodles.
Tourtière is a traditional French-Canadian dish. Traditionally made from wild meat; however this recipe is a combination of ideas taken from different way of making it.
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.
This is an excellent topping for french toast or pancakes. Makes enough for one batch of pancakes (about 8).
Soup that warms your soul. This is a Toni’s version of the classic chicken noodle soup. Our family loves to pair this with freshly made “gallets” aka Home Made Donuts.
A pancake is a flat cake, often thin, and round, prepared from a starch-based batter that may also contain eggs, milk and butter, and cooked on a hot surface such as a griddle or frying pan, often in oil or butter.
A scone is a single-serving quick bread. They are often lightly-sweetened, and are occasionally glazed. The scone is an excellent companion with Tea or a light breakfast.
This is a delicious recipe which is based on the white bread recipe.
This is an amazing muffin recipe that can be used to make hundreds of variations. This recipe creates a soft and moist muffin where the chunks and chips are just as mouthwatering as the muffins themselves.
