Top Breakfast Recipes
There’s nothing more comforting than a plate of warm pancakes on a slow weekend morning. This recipe will have you including them all throughout the week! Packed with protein, fibre and flavour, they’ll help to fuel you up and provide you with long lasting energy to go about your day.
If you’re looking for a dish that’s just as beautiful to serve as it is delicious to eat, this Pineapple Upside-Down French Toast is a must-try. Sweet, tangy pineapple and a buttery brown sugar glaze bake right into soft, custardy bread for a tropical twist on a classic comfort food. It’s perfect for lazy weekend mornings, holiday brunches, or even a quick “breakfast-for-dinner” option that’s sure to win over the whole family. The best part? You can prepare it ahead of time, making it ideal for busy mornings or when you want to spend more time enjoying your coffee than standing at the stove.
This protein-packed granola recipe is so much tastier and more nutritious than purchasing commercial brands. Enjoy granola on top of yogurt with fruit or as a morning breakfast cereal with milk. My family is a huge fan of granola so this makes a big batch but you can of course make a half recipe if you want a smaller quantity or place it in the freezer (just don’t add the dried fruit until you are going to enjoy fresh).
Food connects us and brings us back to people and memories by preparing what loved ones once had baked. Our papa’s waffles do just that for us! I remember as a child, I would smell the aroma of waffles and bacon in the early morning before the rest of the family was up. They quickly became a staple in our own homes as we got older, and remind us of our special grandpa every time we make them. These waffles have simple ingredients that you may already have on hand. Serve with cut-up fruit, a drizzle of maple syrup, and even some whipped cream if you are feeling fancy!
Looking to add more protein to your breakfast? Look no further with this delicious and protein-packed scrambled eggs recipe and cottage cheese! While scrambled eggs are a beloved classic, adding a half cup of creamy cottage cheese takes this dish to the next level, adding extra nutrients and flavour. Packed with protein, these scrambled eggs will keep you feeling satisfied all morning. Plus, with the option to customize your scrambled eggs with your favourite veggies like tomatoes or spinach, you can make this dish extra nutritious and delicious!

We’ve designed this recipe to include a whole rainbow of tasty vegetables and fruits. You can enjoy this with or without the shrimp if you’d rather have a vegetarian salad roll. Don’t forget to try the tasty dipping sauce with these!
There’s nothing quite like a dish that brings comfort to the table any time of year, and this baked macaroni and cheese is exactly that. Whether you’re cooking for a family dinner, hosting friends, or simply craving something warm and satisfying, this recipe delivers creamy, cheesy perfection every single time. With a silky homemade sauce, a blend of flavorful cheeses, and a crunchy golden topping, it strikes the perfect balance between cozy and classic.
Are you looking for a new way to serve fish? This recipe is packed with flavour and is a refreshing weeknight option. It may even entice those who are not huge fish fans! Fish packs a nutritional punch as a great source of protein and healthy fats. The dill sauce in this recipe can be used in many ways including as a salad dressing, sauce for fish or eggs, and as a vegetable dip!
Beets come in different shapes and sizes. There are red, golden and candy cane beets. They can be served cold in a salad, picked on a burger or warm in this delicious roasted version. The rosemary adds a pungent flavour that complements the beets. They also go great in a salad the next day.
This recipe for turkey lettuce wraps is a simple speedy meal you and you family will love. Try it during the week or as a ‘Finger Food Friday’ theme. Feel free to add more or less of the hoisin sauce based on your family food preference.
Top Dessert & Snack Recipes
This chocolate banana cupcake recipe comes from Anne Lindsay’s cookbook Anne Lindsay’s New Cooking, and it’s one I keep coming back to. The bananas bring just the right amount of sweetness and a little boost of fibre. I like to switch things up by using 1 cup of all-purpose flour and ¾ cup of whole wheat flour — just a small tweak to add a touch more goodness. Give it a try and have fun with it!
Apple Galette Recipe
This is a delicious spin on a traditional pie without using a pie tin. It is not overly sweet as it uses a tarter apple and allows the apple to be the star of the dish. It’s a perfect dessert for any occasion. Think of it as a rustic, fuss-free version of pie that looks just as impressive as it tastes. The flaky pastry wrapped around tender apples creates a cozy, homemade feel—perfect for sharing with family and friends. Enjoy it warm on its own, or take it up a notch with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Grandma’s Cottage Pudding Recipe
This cottage ‘pudding’ recipe is delicious and so fun and simple to make! It’s deceiving, because it is a light, fluffy cake and not actually pudding. It is the traditional name for the dessert my family and I grew up loving. My grandmother would make it after Sunday dinner and it was our absolute favourite. It has a subtle vanilla flavour and a mouth-watering coconut brown sugar drizzle on top. It pairs perfectly with tea or milk and comes together in no time!
No Bake Chocolate Almond Butter Date Bar Recipe
This whole food recipe from Dietitians of Canada is loaded with good nutrition and are great for active lifestyles on the go for snacks. Use the recipe as a guide below but feel free to try different dried fruit and nuts and/or skip the cocoa to make a range of different flavours.
