Jalapeño Goose Breasts Suprême

Who hid the jalapeños? This is without a doubt one of our guests’ favorite dishes at the lodges.

Broccoli Salad

“This came to us from my brother-in-law Gavin,” says Helen. It has become a favorite at all of the lodges.

Crusted Caribou Tenderloin with Mushroom and Red Wine Reduction

We got two thumbs up from the guests we invited to our testing for this dish. Use any tenderloin available, moose, elk, deer, beef or pork.

Winnie’s Sweet ‘N’ Sour Fish

This recipe has become a standard on shore lunches (Sweet ‘N’ Sour Pike) at North Knife Lake Lodge and at home when we have company, for both Marie and I. ~ Helen

Sour Cream Pancakes with Blueberry Sauce

This recipe has evolved at our house over the years and has spread far and wide. We have served these delicious pancakes to people from around the world and they always have seconds.

Cranberry-glazed Roast Turkey Breast with Wild Rice Stuffing

This recipe for cranberry-glazed roast turkey breast with wild rice stuffing was created by Karen Burns-Booth of Lavender and Lovage after a visit to Seal River Heritage Lodge in the fall of 2016.

These delicious buns were a result of Marie's quest for a flavourful, crunchy, whole grain bun. We use Red River Cereal, which is a combination of cracked wheat, rye and flax, but a similar whole grain cereal will work.

Vinarterta

Vinarterta comes to us compliments of Helen Webber’s Icelandic heritage. It has been handed down through her family for generations, and is served only on festive occasions.

Curried Squash Soup

Whenever Helen and I taste a soup we really like, we take it as a challenge to go home and duplicate it. This is one such challenge — conquered! We hope you enjoy the prize!

Almond-Crusted Trout with Leek and Lemon Cream

This fish entrée is simply amazing! The original recipe calls for Arctic Char, but it also works deliciously well with Lake Trout and Salmon, a cousin to Arctic Char!

Marie’s Wild Rice Casserole Supreme

We have found more complicated recipes for a wild rice casserole than this, but we have never found one that brings us more rave reviews. We try to make enough to ensure that we have leftovers for Cream of Wild Rice Soup.

Hamburger Soup

Hamburger soup is a family favorite. It sticks to your ribs and kids love it!
