Winter is long, but summer is here. It's time to party, and what better way to celebrate Canada's birthday than with some recipes that are quintessentially Canadian?

Strawberry Cheesecake Bites
I don’t want to spend hours in the kitchen when I have guests to entertain. These Strawberry Cheesecake Bites are the perfect dessert to whip up, allowing you to keep your cool even on a hot day.
Canada Day Berry, Yogurt, and Granola Parfaits
I often serve them berries with yogurt and granola in a bowl for a snack, so I knew they would love this slightly fancier version. I just added a swirl of whipped cream on top with some Canada Day sprinkles, and called it a parfait. So simple.
The Great Canadian Caesar
Turns out Chell was a visionary because more than 350 million Caesars are made with Mott’s Clamato every year. The combination of sweet tomato juice, salty clam nectar, sour lime, spicy Worcestershire and bitter celery salt make Canada’s most popular cocktail truly unique.
Maple Ginger Cedar Planked Salmon Recipe
Nothing says Canada to me more than a thick piece of juicy salmon glazed with maple syrup and cooked on a cedar plank. This recipes works well in an oven or on your BBQ, just make sure to soak the cedar plank for at least 2-3 hours before you start so that it won't burn too much.
Celebrate Canada Day With Butter Tarts
There are few recipes and even fewer desserts that carry with them a true Canadian pedigree. While the exact origins of the butter tart are not always clear what we do know is the earliest Canadian pioneer women were making this mouth-watering buttery goodness since well before the first known recipe was published in 1900.
Canadian Maple-Glazed Ribs
These massive slabs of beef ribs start out with a flavour-packed spice rub and are then mopped with a sauce which includes beer and maple syrup. I wanted to make something that was a tip of the cap to the Great White North, so—obviously—I began with picking up a case of Molson Canadian. Outstandingly delicious and…mission accomplished, eh?
Canada Day Fare—Red and White Grilled Nachos
This is probably "not cho" first thought when it comes to BBQ fare but here is a cheesy (in a good way) treat to serve on our country's special day—red and white nachos grilled on the BBQ!
The bars, which need no baking, became very popular! Their sweet chocolatey flavor makes them one of my teen’s most favorite dessert recipes, and are fitting on a Canada Day celebration from kitchen which overlooks...you guessed it, the Strait of Georgia and in the distance, Nanaimo!
