One of the best delicacies that Canada has to offer is Tim Hortons, while many of us have our own opinions of the place, and the decline of quality that has happened through the years, there are a few things that you have come to accept, 1. A long line up in the drive through, 2. The double double the co worker is going to treat you with, and the demand for an ice cap!
This is a very simple and easy recipe, just takes some time to do.
Make some coffee, use your favorite blend, let it brew and when its done brewing take 3 cups out of the maker and let it cool, (Tip if its winter let it sit outside to cool down.)
Put the coffee in a blender.
Add a few spoons of brown sugar (Or stevia, we use a diabetic friendly type of brown sugar)
Add the normal amount of coffee cream that you would use in 3 cups of coffee (this is you have left overs if you want only 1 cup of an Ice Cap just reduce it by a 3rd.)
Lastly add 1 tray of ice cubes.
Blend that up until you have a good consistency, pour into a cup and serve.
Optional you can add some whip cream and drizzle some chocolate over it, I know my wife would love this more but she is diabetic like me so, the answer was no.
Its that easy, and simple, and this is a Canadian delicacy and its an amazing taste.
Sloppy Aimees is my take on a Sloppy Joe, just more healthy fun, and much more tasty.
This is fun, easy and very tasty!
Ingredients
3 Onions
3 Green Peppers
Garlic
Ground Beef
Pepper
Salt
Worcestershire Sauce
Spaghettis Sauce
Apple Cyder Vinegar
BBQ Sauce
Your choice of hot sauce
Big burger buns
Cooking
Start by chopping up your onion, green pepper and garlic, it would be best if you had a food processor and let it do it for you, more simple and a lot quicker.
In a oiled frying pan start frying up that mix.
Add in your ground beef, breaking it up making sure its very chunky.
As it cooks down its going to reduce.
Add some pepper.
Add some Worcestershire sauce.
Add some spaghetti sauce.
Add some apple cyder vinegar, not a lot but it does help with taste and works with helping your blood sugar and blood pressure.
Add some BBQ Sauce, your favorite flavor.
If you want some hot sauce this is where you add it in, if your sharing the meal, think about how other people will feel about it, you don’t wanna kill anyone.
Mix this all in good, and cook until done, be careful to make sure the meat is well cooked.
Lastly get your but buns ready and put some mix in until it looks like a sloppy joe, but this time make it messy!
This is a meal best served with fries and maybe some veggies, a great pick me up meal, very simple and quick to make, we really hope you enjoy!
This is one of our earliest videos we filmed, it is quite old, and we will eventually be re making another video!
Donair is an Atlantic Canadian meal, one of our must haves and favorites, it isn’t the healthiest thing in the world, but you can make it healthier with a bit of work!
If you go to Canada and you order one, and the sauce isn’t sweet, then it’s not a donair, if you are in Atlantic Canada at any time you must try it, it is our cultural dish and honestly one of the best things you will ever eat!
When it comes to spices put a lot in, but for things like chili powder and Cheyenne powder, you want to watch yourself a bit don’t make it hotter than you want, some people can’t handle spice eh, I’m not one to measure spices out, just look at the volume of what your cooking and use your best judgement!
Ingredients
Meat Portion
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Oregino
Garlic powder
Chili Powder
Onion Powder
Cheyenne Powder
Medium ground beef or Lamb meat (you can do 50/50)
Pre heat your oven for 450 degrees
Oil a bread pan, or any pan you want to use.
take the ingredients and mix them together and beat them together very well, you want a solid meat loaf.
Put them in the bread pan, and pack it in tightly.
bake for 45 to 50 minutes.
Sauce Portion
3/4 cup of vinegar
2 cups of sweetend condensed milk
Garlic powder
Mix all the ingredients in a container that you can stick in the fridge, mix it well, and let it rest in the fridge for an hour!
Putting it all together!
Tomato
Onion
Cheese (Cheddar or Mozzarella is best, but use what works for you!
Pita bread
(optional Lettuce)
Ok we are ready to put everything together, so first, after the meat has cooled down, we are going to slice it up good, and then re fry it with some extra virgin olive oil, just to get it nice and hot and may be a bit of sear.
This is how you want it to look, very similar to this, and often this can be hard so don’t judge yourself on how perfect you have your sliced.
Take a slice of pita, put your meat on it, then cover it with a lot of sauce, and then some onions tomato and finally shred some cheese on top of it.
You can choose to bake this on 300 for 10 minutes if you wish, I don’t myself, I eat it as is, you can add some lettuce, and if your looking to serve it with something might I suggest some potatoes, often we eat this along side of pizza, and it should look similar to.
I truly hope you enjoyed this as much as I do if you ever get a chance to taste this, it is truly one of our favorite meals, and often if we have a visitor we share this with them, its one of those meals you have to try once.
