Ontario

Ontario sits between the Great Lakes and Hudson Bay. No other Canadian province touches upon even a single Great Lake; Ontario touches upon all but Lake Michigan. Only Quebec province is larger, and no province is more populous. Ontario is one of four original provinces that entered into Confederation in 1867. After the American Revolution, many Americans loyal to the English crown fled to Canada. These new arrivals introduced American foods into Canadian cuisine: baked beans, fried chicken, and johnnycakes. Recently, immigration has expanded to include folks from all over the world. Canada’s largest city, Toronto, is a cosmopolitan and multicultural city in southern Ontario. Hungry Torontonians enjoy endless authentic ethnic food options. Ontario is orchard, berry, and wine country. Wild rice, collected along the shores of Ontario lakes, goes into casseroles, stews, and soups. Mushrooms, maple syrup, Cheddar cheese, farmed trout, and much of the pork that produces back bacon (a.k.a. Canadian bacon) comes from Ontario.

Pork Noodle Casserole

Reviewed on jul. 4, 2009 by Cathy G. 
Meant to take a pic of this but before I could grab the camera everyone had dug in LOL!!! I used a small pork tenderloin which I got on sale and had a handful of fresh mushrooms on hand so used those instead of canned. Excellent dish and the noodles cooked easily in it.

Fruity Pork Chops

Reviewed on jul. 4, 2009 by Cathy G. 
Had a spare can of fruit cocktail on hand so thought I would give these a try to be different. Very tasty and moist. I also added a bit more orange zest.

Grandma's Salad Dressing

Reviewed on jul. 4, 2009 by CYNJNE 
I needed only 2 Tbsps. of French dressing for a big m*** type of sauce for our hamberger dinner tonight. Store bought is ok but I didn't feel even like spending the $2.00 when I was sure I could make some at home. Any time I don't have to reach into my purse is great incentive to me. I scaled down this recipe to get the needed amount and saved what was left over. This was just right for my sauce and will dress another couple of small salads. Thanks.
