SouthWestern Ontario Foodie was a Northern Ontario Foodie for a few Days


By Southwestern Ontario Foodie (Visit website)



Phew....I'm finally home! I was away for Thanksgiving weekend visiting family. My parents and in-laws are in Sudbury, Ontario which is 6 hours or so away from here. We did a lot of eating and had some turkey. I'm so glad to be home though. Unfortunately, because I was away, this is the second weekend that I have not been able to go to the Saturday markets. Luckily I was able to find a couple of markets in Sudbury that still had some produce available.


I visited The Market Place on Notre Dame (next to a Mcdonald's no less...LOL) that helped me fill my bag with $15 worth of food--enough produce to last until Saturday when I can finally do my regular haul. There was another market downtown but when I did go I found the produce a lot more expensive. One vendor was selling peppers at $1 each. Normally I can buy a basket of 5-6 peppers for $2.00 here in London. Wow!! What a difference! It makes me appreciate the bounty that we have here so much more.

Actually, here's a great recipe that takes advantage of our bounty of pears (or apples) in Ontario this month. It includes: spinach (or lettuce if you prefer), toasted pecans, dried cranberries, sliced pears (or apples), and shredded cheese. Top it with your favorite dressing. The last time I visited Birtch Farms I came across a great salad dressing called "AppleFarm's Olde Fashioned Salad Dressing" (ingredients: canola oil, cider vinegar, sugar, onions, mustard powder, celery seed, and salt). It's wonderful with this salad.
