  Wheatland Cafe: Spice Babycakes

  Here’s a fun take on an old fashioned cake. These are basically an upside down cupcake drizzled with a decadent sauce, a scoop of ice cream and garnished with a crispy apple slice.

  Take this up a notch with mixed berries and serve it in long stemmed martini glasses.

  

  Wheatland Cafe: Pickerel and Salsa Verde

  This is an incredibly versatile sauce. It’s fabulous with fish or chicken but also as a finishing sauce for freshly cooked vegetables, added to a cream sauce, or drizzled onto sliced tomatoes. Refrigerate any leftover sauce.
• 

  Wheatland cafe: Cream of Vegetable Soup

  This is a very flavourful soup, thanks to the browning of the vegetables and long, slow simmering. Garnish it with a drizzle of fresh cream for a satisfying lunch, or as an appetizer course.

  

  Wheatland Cafe: Quinoa Breakfast

  This recipe is power-packed. It makes a fair amount. Keep the cooked quinoa in a plastic container and microwave for a quick and nutritious breakfast. Leftover quinoa can also be used in salads.

  Slow roasting the bird upside down makes for a very juicy chicken. Make sure to let the bird rest for 15 to 30 minutes before serving.

  

  Wheatland Cafe: Zucchini Lemon Cake

  A delicious cake in time for Easter using barley flour instead of the more common all purpose flour

  This is a sensational stew made with sausage, bacon and dark beer. It’s a meal in one that is chock full of vegetables. Use a sausage with a bit of a kick. If you can find a spicy sausage

  

  Wheatland Cafe: Apple-Raisin Bran Muffins

  This is a simple little muffin that’s packed with fibre and fruit but not overloaded of sugar. The honey and apple help keep the muffins moist for days. Enjoy for breakfast with yogurt and a piece of cheese

  You can make them into savoury appetizers or sweet desserts. Here, I’ve given them a Saskatchewan twist stuffing a lovely sour cherry into the centre of each fluffy round ball

  

  Wheatland Cafe: CJ’s Rum Cake

  This cake is best prepared in the morning so it has most of the day to absorb the glaze.
• 

  Wheatland Cafe: Linguine with lamb sausage

  This is one of those comfort food recipes that combines the delicate flavours of prairie lamb with pasta. I’ve added a fun twist with the addition of fennel seed and red wine. You can also make this recipe with Italian flavoured pork or turkey sausage.

  

  Wheatland Cafe: Awesome panini

  Paninis are a delicious way to elevate just about any sandwich. Play with different breads like sourdough, ciabatta or French baguette. Experiment with different fillings and spreads. If you don’t have a Panini press, use a fry pan set over medium heat, turning the sandwich over once the bottom side is brown.
• 

  Wheatland Cafe: Lingonberry Sauce

  This is a terrific condiment that tastes great next to just about any grilled meat. This is not a Christmas sauce but rather one you can use year round. If you would like to use fresh thyme, add 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the leaves at the end of the cooking to preserve the flavour.

  

  Wheatland Cafe: Roasted Carrot Soup

  When you roast vegetables, the sugars in the vegetables caramelize and the flavours become concentrated. Puree them into a soup and you will have a kaleidoscope of flavours. Of course, you can make this soup without roasting the vegetables but it won’t taste nearly as delicious
• 

  Wheatland Cafe: Artichoke Cheese Pinwheels

  These puff pastry pinwheels are adorable. Once you get the hang of making a pinwheel, they are a snap to make. The filling is also delicious on its own as a spread for crackers

  

  Wheatland Cafe: Mini Crostadas

  These adorable tarts are fabulous for an easy dessert for a special evening. They are also festive during the Christmas season. Feel free to make them up in the morning for easy serving. Gently warm in an oven, not the microwave before serving.
