Ah the humble cabbage! Cabbage is another vegetable that doesn't get the love it deserves in the kitchen. Maybe part of that is because it's a very mild tasting vegetable, or maybe it's simply because it's not the most exciting looking vegetable in the produce aisle. Despite its ho-hum appearance, cabbage is incredibly versatile, and when paired with bold flavours and different preparations, cabbage can be an absolute knockout star of a dish. In this post, you'll find 5 delicious recipes that let cabbage take center stage and will be sure to make you see this often overlooked vegetable in a whole new light!

Thanks to our local farmers and producers, we've really grown a new love and appreciation for a very underrated root veg: the radish. Radishes are often relegated to the role of a garnish or to add a slice of color to store-bought salad mixes but these beauties deserve their own moment in the sun! Radishes are a delicious vegetable that can be eaten raw or added to any number of roasted or stir-fried dishes, where their signature peppery flavor can truly shine. In this post, you'll find 3 different recipes to utilize these beautiful root veggies: Black Radish Chips, Roasted Radish Salad With Feta & Mint, and Quick Pickled Watermelon Radish.

This week's recipe is made with our chef-made frozen fresh Bucatini pasta from Ascari Enoteca! Bucatini pasta is similar to spaghetti but is a thicker noodle with a hollow center to soak up extra sauce! We paired this pasta with a rich tomato, chili, honey and balsamic based sauced that is packed with flavour. Sweet, salty, and slightly spicy, this sauce is perfectly balanced by the delicate and creamy flavour of our Bella Casara by Quality Cheese classic burrata. The result is absolutely divine. Give this pasta recipe a try and let us know your thoughts!

Stuffed chicken breasts are a great way to switch up your regular chicken breast recipes, adding some extra flavor to your chicken. Stuffing the breast is also a great way to get a nice and moist breast as the stuffing helps retain moisture in chicken. In this recipe, we stuffed our VG Meats chicken breasts with a mixture of our Cookstown organic dried tomatoes, Celebrity goat cheese, August Harvest's garlic and shallots and Niagara Vinegar baco noir balsamic. Served on a bed of creamy garlic and thyme mashed Goldenheart potatoes, this recipe is the perfect dinner for any night of the week!

A true marvel, the popover is a delicious bread-like creation that is satisfyingly crispy on the outside, and fluffy and soft on the inside. Made using just a few simple, staple ingredients. All you need to whip up a basic popover recipe are eggs, milk, salt, and flour. Once you've tried these bad boys, they'll be you new go-to side for any meal! We added our Grand Trunk Gruyere-style cheese from Stonetown Cheese and added some fresh organic rosemary to these popovers. The result were these perfectly cheesy popovers with a hint of rosemary that pairs perfectly with the salty and nutty notes of the Grand Trunk cheese but feel free to substitute your favourite herb and cheese combo of choice in this recipe.

Because of their "meaty" texture, mushrooms make a fantastic substitute for meat in traditional hearty dishes, like ragu, which is an Italian sauce made primarily of ground meat, minced vegetables, beef broth and tomatoes. This recipe skips the meat and instead opts for mushrooms as the meaty component of the dish and is just as satisfying! You can serve this ragu on pasta, quinoa, rice or on a bed of polenta as we did made with our local organic cornmeal from K2 Milling and Handeck Comte cheese from Gunn's Hill. Give it a try the next time you're feeling like opting for a meatless meal.

Now, I'm sure by this point we're all pretty sick of date nights-in and can't wait to get back to enjoying a meal out at our favourite restaurants BUT while we're stuck celebrating another holiday at home, there's no better way to celebrate Valentine's Day than with an epic cheese & charcuterie board. A charcuterie and cheese board is a trusty date night go-to for a reason and putting together a Pinterest-worthy charcuterie and cheese board really isn't as hard as it looks! So if you're planning on putting together a cheese and charcuterie board and wondering how to put together a beautiful and tasty board, we've got you covered!
