Caramelized Onion & Mushroom Quick Pizza

Shirley is an avid cook. One Sunday morning she decided to prepare lunch for her mom and sister and thought pizza would be a nice treat. She had made pizza with caramelized onions in the past as it was a personal favourite; but this recipe came about when she realized that she had no traditional pizza sauce in the house. She went with what she had on hand, a three-cheese salad dressing—and a new family favourite was born.

Carole’s Baked Beans with Maple Syrup

1st Place

Gladys MacPherson and her husband live in Aurora, Ontario. They are parents to two sons.  The couple has lived all over Canada, but always make it back to the East Coast during the summer months, where they enjoy relaxing at the family home in Lower Economy, Colchester County. Gladys grew up in the area and her dad worked at the Bass River chair company. Her husband Jim is from the Lunenburg area so the East Coast holds a special place for both
of them.

Gladys obtained her teaching degree and after graduating found her first position in Flowers Cove, Newfoundland. There she boarded with a family named the Coles. Mrs. Coles made homemade baked beans every Saturday night; although she did not use maple syrup—probably molasses—the dish was full of flavour. When Gladys makes this recipe, she still thinks of Marcie Coles, who she remembers as being a terrific cook. She particularly loves this baked bean recipe, given to her by her Aunt Carole more than 40 years ago, because it reminds her of the East Coast.
