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.

Russian Style Creamy Salad Dressing

Reviewed on Nov. 14, 2009 by rosabela 
Sorry, but I did not care for this at all. I found the flavour of the mayo a bit overpowering. I thought I would also like the mayo/ketchup flavour, but I didn't care for it at all.

This was okay, tasted sort of like hummus. It was good but not spectacular.

Applesauce Muffin Mix

Reviewed on Nov. 14, 2009 by PHIVEKALI 
My husband loved these muffins. They are very dense and heavy, but taste pretty good. I made my own applesauce from various species of apples we had in the house and weren't going to get around to eating. I think that added to the really good apple taste. I reduced the butter to 1/3 cup (just to see how it would turn out) with the second batch and it was just as good. We will make this again.
