Swap potatoes for parsnips to make these healthy baked fries! Great with your favourite burger, they're irresistibly crispy, sweet & salty.

There is a cute little bakery and sandwich shop in Hawkesbury, ON that makes the BEST celeri rave slaw (or celeri remoulade, as it is often called) - Le Petit Pain Bakery. Many years back I asked the bakery owner if I could possibly have the recipe. She told me she'd only give me the recipe if I bought her bakery. She guards that recipe to this day and I've been on a quest to find a recipe that tastes like hers ever since!

First off butternut squash is a winter squash with a sweet, nutty taste similar to that of a pumpkin, only creamier. The butternut squash was coveted by aboriginal people and early settlers because it has an extra long shelf life! It is delicious cooked in a variety of ways– baked or roasted, in a puree, in soups or stews, and as a sweet addition to other hearty winter dishes.😋

First off daikon is a crunchy, winter radish that becomes sweeter if you peel it - which is Jolianne's advice to you, if you plan to eat it raw. Daikon is delicious in kimchi or a stir fry, lightly steamed with olive oil, salt or lemon juice for flavour or eaten raw. All you have to do is slice the daikon radish, dip it in dressing or peanut butter or add shredded raw daikon to your salad.
