Holidays Year Round
Food is a big part of how we mark the holidays throughout the year. Here you’ll find recipes for everything from Easter and summer celebrations to Canadian Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s, and the smaller occasions in between. Some are traditional holiday recipes, while others are simple dishes, desserts, sides, and make-ahead ideas that make feeding family and friends a little easier.

Happy Thanksgiving!
Canadian Thanksgiving arrives while the gardens are winding down and fall produce is still plentiful, so this is one of my favourite times of year to cook. These are some of my favourite Thanksgiving recipes for building a cozy fall meal, from the main dish and vegetable sides to breads, cranberry recipes, pumpkin desserts, and ways to use the leftovers afterward.
Set The Harvest Table
Christmas & New Years
Christmas and New Year’s are when the kitchen really gets busy. Think roast dinners, holiday baking, appetizers, party snacks, festive drinks, rich desserts, and all the little extras that somehow end up becoming family traditions. Whether you’re hosting a crowd, setting out a casual New Year’s Eve spread, or just figuring out what to do with all those leftovers, these recipes are here to help make the holidays feel a little more delicious and a lot less stressful.
Valentine’s Day
Valentine’s Day is a good excuse to make something a little extra, whether that means a cozy dinner for two, a rich chocolate dessert, pretty pink baking, or a sweet treat to share with the family. These recipes are made for celebrating without turning the day into a huge production, with plenty of ideas for homemade dinners, desserts, and treats that still feel special.
Easter
Easter is a mix of family dinner, spring baking, and all the little treats that start showing up as soon as the snow begins to disappear. Here you’ll find recipes for Easter brunch, roast dinners, fresh spring sides, breads, cakes, desserts, and a few fun sweets for the kids, whether you’re hosting everyone or keeping the day simple.
Canada Day
Canada Day calls for easy summer food, plenty of grilling, cold drinks, fresh salads, and desserts that can handle a backyard table. Whether you’re planning burgers and BBQ, packing a picnic, or having family over for the afternoon, these recipes are made for relaxed July 1st celebrations with good food and as little fuss as possible.
