Never have to choose between apple pie and apple crumble ever again. This recipe combines the flakey crust of pie with the crispy topping of a crumble.

With Thanksgiving just around the corner, we've already started thinking about what to cook for the holiday season. If you're looking for an alternative to turkey or a side dish to complement your bird, here are five tried and true recipes from our blog:
This recipe elevates the Thanksgiving ham with a delicious apple bacon chutney. Both sweet and savoury, the chutney both compliments and adds another dimension to each bite of ham. Recipe here.
This Italian 'strata' is essentially a savoury bread pudding flavoured with cheese, bacon, mushrooms and caramelized onions. Although not a traditional stuffing, this side more than makes up for it with the perfect blend of earthiness from the mushrooms, caramelized onions and richness of the cream and smoky bacon. Recipe here.
This recipe uses cornbread which gives the stuffing a wonderful texture and sweetness to balance the savouriness of the bacon and sausage. The cornbread is also amazing for soaking up that puddle of gravy on your plate so you're guaranteed every bit of gravy goodness gets in your belly. Recipe here.
If you're sick of the traditional turkey, here's a beef alternative. This recipe is equally as satisfying as a turkey with the caramelized onion gravy and makes for fantastic left overs.
Recipe here.
If you're not a huge pumpkin fan, here's a different dessert to try. I discovered a fantastic recipe for sticky toffee pudding last year and made it for Thanksgiving. The cake is moist from the dates and the toffee sauce rich and decadent; needless to say, it was a hit. Also, I feel like baking anything in a bundt pan makes your creation ten times more impressive. Recipe here.
We hope these recipes were useful and at the very least gave you some inspiration for Thanksgiving this year!
Stir fry recipes are all about throwing your ingredients into one pan or wok and cooking them up in under 15 minutes and serving it hot over rice or noodles. Here are five of our stir fry recipes that will be ready in no time on those busy nights.
Thai Basil Chicken Stir Fry
What makes this stir fry so delicious is the aromatic Thai basil which enhances the chicken and savoury fish sauce. With the addition of fresh squeezed lime juice, this dish is a Thai favourite of ours. Recipe here.
While this dish isn't technically a stir fry, it is still as easy to make and requires just one pan or wok. These little omelettes full of Chinese BBQ meats and fried veggies are so easy delicious over rice and if you can't get Chinese BBQ pork, any meat can be mixed into the eggs to make this dish. Recipe here.
Mapo Tofu:
Mapo tofu is fantastic on top of rice and the spicy flavour of the chili oil and XO sauce can be addicting. This is one is for all the tofu lovers out there! Recipe here.
Black Pepper Beef Stir Fry
This popular dish is a classic Chinese dish often served in restaurants on a sizzling cast iron plate. The aromas of the cilantro infused beef and mushrooms are just as good as it tastes. Recipe here.

This pizza was created for the YYC Pizza Week 2015 Blogger Challenge and it's a fantastic one at that. It is our opinion that you can never have enough duck; enter the 'Duck Duck Deuce' pizza. This doubly decadent duck creation is the perfect way to herald in the cooler months. It features earthy morel mushrooms, ricotta, tender duck confit and duck rillete-foie gras quenelles atop a foie gras spread. The sweet and tangy fig-balsamic reduction and fresh pea shoots balance out the richness. This luxurious pizza is surprisingly easy to re-create as we document below.
YYC Pizza Week is an annual fundraiser for Calgary Meals on Wheels where restaurants across the city enter into a friendly competition for best pizza in several categories.

Spring has sprung and I've been inspired by the beautiful asparagus that is currently in season. Used in this rotini dish with creamy ricotta and flavourful bacon, it is not only gorgeous to look at but delicious to eat. On this occasion, I've used Catelli's Healthy Harvest Ancient Grains rotini and the slightly firmer texture compliments the asparagus perfectly.
