"Twenty years from now you will all be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." - Mark Twain

WtG’s Classic Vegetarian ChiliFull of fresh flavours, low in fat and low in sodium, this chili is wheat free, vegan and most importantly delicious! We top it off with sour cream and cheddar, but it is excellent plain too!
2 medium onions, chopped 2 cloves garlic, minced 2 carrots, diced 2 Tbsp Olive or Canola Oil
Heat oil in a large pot for 1 minute. Add onion, garlic and carrot and sauté over medium heat until onions are translu-cent and carrots begin to cook. The onions and carrots take the longest so it’s important to pre-cook them before adding everything else.
1 each red & yellow pepper 2 small zucchini 2 stalks celery Dice peppers, zucchini and
celery then add and continue to sauté 5 more minutes.
1 (12oz) can whole tomatoes 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice 1/4 cup red wine 1 1/2 tsp black pepper 2 tsp ground cumin 2 tsp ground chili powder 2 tsp tabasco sauce
Add tomatoes, lemon, wine, and seasonings and simmer until carrots are soft (10 to 15 minutes).
1 cup fresh or frozen corn 1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley
1 (12oz) can kidney beans, drained
Stir in corn, parsley and beans, heat through and serve. This chili freezes well and will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days. In fact, the flavour is even better the next day!

Mulled Apple CiderA seasonal favourite, apple cider is one of the best ways to warm up on a cold wintry day. The unique flavours come from heating the cider with spices and then stirring in a little orange juice and fresh cranberries.
In a pot, combine: 1 litre (4 cups) fresh organic apple cider 1 cinnamon stick 1 tsp cloves 8 cardamom pods, lightly crushed
Heat cider and spices gently over medium heat until flavourful and aromatic (about 15 to 20 minutes). Do not boil cider as this can cause it to separate.Add: 3/4 cup frozen or fresh cranberries 1/4 cup frozen orange juice concentrate
Stir to combine, heat five minutes more and serve. It looks lovely served with some cranberries and a cinnamon stick in each glass.

"The waterfall is the most important... it mixes the chocolate! It churns it up! It pounds it and beats it! It makes it light and frothy! No other factory in the world mixes its chocolate by waterfall! But it's the only way to do it properly!" - Willy Wonka

2627Chocolate Dream BarsFor the Base: 1 cup butter, softened 2 cups all purpose flour 1 cup brown sugar
In a bowl combine butter, flour and sugar and work with hands or pastry cutter until butter is well combined. Press into a greased 9 x 13 pan and bake at 350 degrees fahrenheit for 20 minutes or until edges are golden. Remove from oven and cool. Meanwhile, make the topping.
For the Topping: 6 eggs 2 cups brown sugar 1/4 cup all purpose flour 1/2 tsp salt 2 tsp pure vanilla
1/4 cup cocoa 1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut 1 cup chopped walnuts 2 1/2 cups dark semi-sweet chocolate chips
In a large bowl mix all ingredients until they are evenly distributed and everything becomes a chocolaty mixture. Pour over cooled base and put back in the oven at 350 degrees fahrenheit for another 30 minutes. Every oven is different but this should give you a solid top with the right amount of chocolate goo. Cool, cut into squares and enjoy!

Buttermilk Currant LoafLoaded with plenty of moist currants this bread is wonderful for breakfast or even meat sandwiches. Buttermilk gives a tangy taste to the loaf which is balanced by the sweetness of the currants. For something a bit different try using it for French toast.
Available once a week at the Bakery, or request it for your toast or sandwich at the Café!
Ingredients: unbleached flour, whole wheat flour, currants, buttermilk, yeast, sea salt, honey
