Sunflower Seed Pesto Pasta

Recipe by Paula Bowman

Toasted sunflower seeds replace pine nuts and produce a similar flavour but with a little more crunch (and a lot less cost). This pesto would be equally delicious served on grilled vegetables, as a spread for sandwiches or used in vinaigrettes or dressings.

This sticky sweet glaze is delicious on chicken. Use a quality vinegar in this recipe for best results. This recipe requires a large oven-safe skillet. If you don’t have one large enough to accommodate all the chicken, use two smaller skillets.

Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms Topped with Cheese

Dads if you want to pamper Mom on her day try this wonderful dish. If crab is not on the top of her list of favorite foods fill the mushroom with shredded pork or beef instead. To roast your pepper halves place them on a cookie sheet that has been greased with a little olive oil. Place them in a 400 degree oven for 15 minutes or until tender.

Bacon and Onion Topped Rib Roast

What a simple but elegant meat to serve Mom on her special day. It doesn't take a lot of effort to put together and the best part is that while it cooks you can pamper Mom in other ways too

Fruit Salad with Warm Shrimp

When heating the salad dressing in the skillet do not let it boil. Boiling the dressing will cause it to become too hot. When poured over the salad it will cook the fruit and lettuce causing them to wilt. It will also cause the dressing to separate. Canned watercress, drained may be used instead of fresh if you prefer.
