Poached Cod in Tomato Curry by TheDevineKitchen
It’s not quite barbeque season but we’re done with our winter standards. How about frozen fish for dinner? It took me years to figure out that it’s better to cook frozen fish frozen than to thaw it first. Here’s a fabulous poaching recipe to delight your senses, inspired by Bon Appétit. Serve over basmati rice. Brown or white, it’s your choice.
Roasted Cauliflower with Pickled Red Pepper Vinaigrette by TheDevineKitchen
Roasting brings out the best of flavours. This recipe elevates this cooking method with the addition of a quick pickled vinaigrette, which happens to be my favourite way to serve cauliflower.
Versatile Potatoes by TheDevineKitchen
We all know how to bake a potato topped with butter or sour cream, chives and salt—delicious. But here’s a fun recipe with a personality to elevate that experience 10-fold. Serve them as 2-bite appetizers, or in part for a casual dinner.
Versatile Lentils by TheDevineKitchen
What we need on a regular basis are healthy recipes for cooking simple but rich food. French lentils are a high-fiber and high-protein addition to many meals. They’re tastier than brown or red lentils and their firm texture makes them an excellent choice for salads, for lentil soup, and as a side with fish, pork or poultry. Here’s a flavor enhancing method for cooking them. French lentils are available at Joanne’s Place here in the Kawarthas.
Eating Out while Staying at Home
There is no shortage of places to eat + drink in Fenelon Falls. No matter what you are craving, there is just about something for everyone. From desserts, fancy comfort food, to your favourite pub grub, our restaurant’s have gone above and beyond to ensure your takeout experience is seamless and delicious. Skip the dishes, as some may say, and place your orders.
Roasted Sweet Potatoes by TheDevineKitchen
No need to wrap whole sweet potatoes in aluminum foil. The thin skin gets slightly crisp when roasted in olive oil and salt, making a nice contrast to the creamy, sweet flesh. Drizzling them in warmed honey and herbs makes them irresistible.
Tahini-Oat Cookies by TheDevineKitchen
Naturally sweetened and actually on the healthy side, these are guilt-free cookies if you don’t eat too many!
TheDevineKitchen - Spanish-Style Lentil Soup
Lentils are to be enjoyed any time of year but cooked with leeks and garlic in springtime makes for a particularly nourishing meal. Use whatever spices or herbs you like. This recipe calls for paprika and sweet pimenton, which imparts sweet-smoky flavour.
TheDevineKitchen - Glazed Pan Roasted Carrots
At this time of year, our seasonal vegetable selection can be limited. Hurray for carrots as they store well and are always available. Here’s a fun, delicious and easy method of preparing them. The carrots release juices as they cook, and the fat and sugar create a shiny glaze.
The Locker of the Irish
St. Patrick’s Day is coming up and while the celebrations may look a little different this year there is no shortage of gold in Fenelon Falls. The Locker at the Falls is celebrating in style with featured Irish cocktails and meals. Not only that, the amazing staff has put together Irish-inspired cocktails for you to create in the comfort of your own home… or get an idea of what they will be serving on March 17th (wink wink, nudge nudge, make a reso)! Check out Matt’s Irish Flag Shooter and Lily’s Magically Delicious Martini!
TheDevineKitchen - Roman Honey Cake
The two ingredients that make this a traditional Roman cake are whole grain spelt flour and wild honey. I love this recipe for its nourishing ingredients and for its versatility. Feel free to add ½ cup finely grated carrots, ¼ cup chopped nuts or seeds and ¼ tsp ground cardamom or cinnamon.
Spiced-Up Chili by TheDevineKitchen
A delicious chilli with a spice blend that lends its own personality and depth of flavour.
You won’t taste the cocoa powder or the cinnamon, but it elevates the flavour three-fold. The pimento makes the chilli taste as if it cooked for hours.
Stop and Smell the Rosé at Kawartha Lakes Winery
Summer may seem like a long ways away with the amount of snowfall we have had this week, but it is going to come faster than we all know. A perfect way to get ahead of the entertaining game this summer is to make your own wine with Kawartha Lakes Winery, right here in Fenelon Falls.
Dry February?
Dry February is a fundraiser in support of the Canadian Cancer Society that challenges you to go alcohol-free. The Locker at the Falls Staff has provided a delicious winter mocktail for anyone participating in dry February, and anyone who loves a good mocktail. Karli’s Winter Blues Mocktail is the perfect pick-me-up that we all need, and super fun to create with your kids at home.
The Locker at Your Home
How does this sound for a perfect evening at home? Locker takeout… for myself it would be a pound of wings, The Locker salad with salmon, and a side of lattice fries for snackin. Now, what if you added a delicious cocktail into the mix? A cocktail so good it tastes as though it was made by one of the incredible bartenders at The Locker themselves. Sounds pretty good, right? Read this article through and you can have this perfect evening too!
