Sweet Potato and Molasses Cookies
This double-duty treat may look like a cookie, but its springy texture is textbook cake. Sweet potato purée keeps each bite soft and chewy, while iron-rich molasses adds a deeper layer of flavour, making this one smart cookie recipe. A grab-and-go snack, they can also slip nicely into a lunch box for school—if they don’t disappear the night before.

Sautéed Chicken Livers with Apples and Sherry
With a more delicate flavour than calf’s liver, these butter-browned chicken livers are tender, nutritious and rich in iron. Tossed with apples and spinach, this warm salad gives you a boost of an important mineral—and a shot of sherry for good measure.

Zucchini Lime Muffins
These zucchini and lime cupcakes really do have a dual personality. Extra-fluffy thanks to the blended veggies, the morning version is served icing-free while their after-dinner draw comes from a zesty lime glaze drizzled on top. Muffins for breakfast, cupcakes for dessert? Yes, please!

Mint Chocolate Popsicles
Take a rich, homemade, mint-infused ice cream, dip it in dark chocolate and you’ve got the most decadent dessert on a stick ever. This pop demands some added prep, but one bite and the payoff is clear.

Assorted Italian Appetizers
Many hands make light work, especially when you’ve got a pile of pita crisps and three different ways to top ’em: blue cheese, pear and walnut; mascarpone, fig and prosciutto; and deluxe pizza fixings. Some advance prep the day before will pay off big time when everyone gathers around your kitchen island. Organize all the pita toppers on the counter and then have the kids divide and conquer. Within no time, the party will be crunching.

Shrimp à L’Orange Skewers
Sauté some shrimp, prepare the sauce (you can reheat it later) and segment the orange early in the day (go to ricardocuisine.com/en/video for tips on sectioning citrus). When the party starts, pass the brochette to your BFF and ask them to skewer all the ingredients up for showtime.

Creamy Fudge with Peanuts
This fudge is inspired by a family recipe from our kitchen director, Kareen. She used salty roasted peanuts to balance the sweetness of the fudge. Allergies? Skip the peanuts.

Red Candy Apples
This shiny, sentimental sweet from childhood calls for your favourite snacking apple. The versatile, short-season Honeycrisp is our kitchen director Kareen’s (and her kids’) go-to because it tastes as delicious as its name suggests.
