I love the idea of having a side dish where each person gets their own piece. Why should side dishes always be communal bowls of something? These Easy Cheesy Cauliflower Corn Cakes are delicious and a great way to use up cauliflower and corn if you have some lying around. Broccoli can be substituted for the cauliflower.
Ingredients:
Combine ingredients together in a medium size bowl, mix well.
On a parchment lined baking sheet, place 1 Tbsp mounds of corn cauliflower mixture piled high as possible. Bake 10 minutes, flatten cakes, flip and bake another 10 minutes.

What is it about summer time, fruit and pie? When thinking about what to make for dessert in the summer my mind goes straight to a fruit pie. Blueberry, strawberry rhubarb, peach, they are all my favourites.
Here are my top ten reasons why individual pies are better than one big one:
Presentation — there is no cutting a slice to each guest, trying to make each one equal and nice looking.
Pie filling does not leak out while cutting, or from the leftover pie.
Each person gets their own equal amount of crust to fruit ratio.
These pies are easy to make, and no-fail in my opinion. You will know when the pie crust is done, no guesswork like with a regular size pie. "Is the bottom baked?"
Individual pies are so much more easily transportable if you are baking them at home and then taking to a cottage or someone else’s house.
Individual pies are easily reheatable, no guessing if the middle of the pie is warm, these pies heat up quickly and evenly.
Great dessert to take on a picnic.
You can put different fillings in some, no need to commit to one fruit for the entire pie.
Leftovers can be easily frozen and taken out for another time. No one will ever know you served them before.
Who doesn’t like getting his or her own individual dessert? It’s all about the little details!
Feel free to use any fruit for the filling. I find myself frequently buying containers of blueberries only to be putting them in the freezer untouched a week later. This is a perfect way to use up those forgotten blueberries, or any fruit you have lying around that you had high hopes of eating at one time or another.

My children love to help me in the kitchen but they usually ask to help during very inconvenient times like when I am about to put something on the bbq or use a sharp knife. When my three year old son Sam asked to help me make these strawberry cakes I thought I would have to come up with something simple for him to do. Surprisingly, the recipe turned out to be very child-friendly and I was happy to have Sam help me. I have divided the recipe into adult steps and children steps to make it an easy and fun activity. Thankfully this recipe does not call for a bbq or a sharp knife.
