Pumpkin Ravioli

Who can resist pumpkin at this time of year! Our savoury Ravioli with Pumpkin, Greek Yogurt, Maple and Thyme is a nice departure from the usual sweet pumpkin pie, muffins and PSL’s. Get the recipe here.

Curried Apple Chutney

This Curried Apple Chutney is the perfect accompaniment to serve on your Thanksgiving cheese board. It’s also great in a grilled cheese sandwich with aged cheddar. Get the recipe here.

Pumpkin Muffins (low fat & dairy free)

Canadian Thanksgiving might be over, but that doesn’t mean you have to leave those yummy thanksgiving flavours behind! These pumpkin muffins are a spin off of these delicious ones we get at a local cafe called Lit. One day we decided, instead of walking down to the cafe to buy one (it was raining and cold out), we’d try making our own! While we admit, they aren’t exactly the same, we enjoy them just as much! An added bonus, they do not include any dairy or butter so they are both low in fat and safe for those with lactose intolerance.  Make these ahead for a great breakfast on the go, they taste great with a good cup of coffee or Chai tea.
