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.

Grandma's Gingersnaps

Reviewed on Nov. 30, 2009 by Adriana

Great cookie! I baked for 12 minutes and they came out crispy but not crumbly. One problem, too much salt! I'd reduce down to 1/8 tsp instead of 1/2 next time I make these. The raw dough was a bit salty but I thought after rolling in sugar and baking this would go away, but it didn't. Still really good though!

Cinnamon Sugar Tortilla Delight

Reviewed on Nov. 30, 2009 by kelcampbell

A very delicious dessert in under 5 minutes - how can you go wrong? Instead of microwaving these, I rolled mine (being sure to tuck in the ends) and fried in a bit of butter. Apart from the rolls unfolding a little when I turned them (I had to use a toothpick in each to keep them together), they turned out perfectly. Crispy and sweet, super yummy and very fast...we will definitely make these again.

Balsamic-Glazed Salmon Fillets

Reviewed on Nov. 29, 2009 by kelcampbell

I made this for dinner for my family tonight and we all liked it a lot. It's got to be good when the 2 and 4 year old kids ask for seconds. I followed the recipe exactly with exception to the wine - I used 1 tsp of white wine vinegar and added 1 Tbsp of water to off-set the vinegar. I also added about 2 Tbsp of honey instead of 1. I served this with "Brazilian White Rice" from this site along with the salmon - the end result was delicious.
