Recipe: Saskatchewan Butter Tarts

I’ll bet that you can’t eat just one. It’s simply not possible!

Recipe: Triple Chocolate Pudding Pie

This is a great pie to make for a Valentine’s Day dinner, or just because you love someone. It should be named “I Love You Pie”, I think.

Berry-Filled Sangria

This recipe changes every time it is made — depending on what wine is on hand and what fruit is available. In this one the strawberries were the best after about an hour of soaking time; the raspberries started to disintegrate and the blueberries didn’t absorb much alcohol… but did stay very tasty. You can also substitute almost any liquor for the vodka – rum, tequila, triple sec, cointreau, gin…

Recipe: Grilled Lemon-Garlic Shrimp

This recipe is amazingly simple but also amazingly tasty. I love it as a side dish to lamb or beef because it sets off the heavy meat perfectly. It takes minutes to prepare but tastes like it takes a great deal more effort.
