Skillet Corn by TheDevineKitchen
My daughter loved this side dish so I’m passing the recipe along. Once again I’m using frozen food during the off-season. It’s simply cooked partially frozen corn in hot oil, alliums and spice in a cast iron skillet.

The Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit (HKPR) has been notified that it will receive more vaccine in the coming weeks and as a result, the Health Unit has increased the number of clinics it will be offering throughout May.
Fajitas, Margaritas, & Trivia
Every couple of months the Chamber Board of Directors plan an event to bring Chamber Members together. Over the last year, these events have been difficult to plan, especially because they revolve around being social and engaging with others. Last night the Chamber hosted an event over zoom with cocktail creations, a guided dinner with James Mahoney, Chef at The Cow and Sow, and ended with Trivia by Russell from the Fenelon Falls Brewery. It was a great success!

What’s Up With the Sign Wars?
If you have been driving or walking through Fenelon, it is hard to miss the number of signs on storefronts, windows, and sandwich boards calling out other businesses. What started as a spontaneous sign in a Southwest Virginia town, has now turned into a friendly roast across the US-Canada border. The war has reached our small village of Fenelon Falls and our businesses do not lack creativity.
PINK WR CRAWLERS FUNDRAISER FOR 2021

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.
