Trail mix is my kryptonite, especially when dark chocolate and raisins are involved. I’ve structured these no-bake bars so that you can customize them based on your favorite trail mix ingredients, so feel free to switch up what kind of seeds and dried fruit you use to create a completely new flavor profile.

Cheryl Hickman is one of a handful of professional opera singers who come from Newfoundland and Labrador. She’s sung in operas in many parts of the world, with many different companies. It was fascinating to listen to her stories of life on the road and meeting singers like Placido Domingo. We learned much as well about Opera on the Avalon, which Cheryl founded to assist up-and-coming opera stars in their educational development. We also managed to make this excellent recipe for medallions of pork tenderloin.

These make great muffins or mini muffins.

These are really refreshing and look beautiful. Perfect for the summer months.

Foamy beer adds lightness and tanginess to this batter. Double the recipe if you’re feeding a crowd of fish lovers.

A sweet noodle dish that goes well with baked ham… it can double as a dessert too.
