Last week, our mission partner Food Network Canada asked you to pucker up and share your #BakingChampionship citrus treats inspired by its new series, Spring Baking Championship. Here are some for your consideration.

This gluten-free lemon cake is the perfect tart treat.

With Mother’s Day weekend upon us, we have a golden opportunity to celebrate midday dining. This week, we’re honouring that delicious time of day by making it your mission to eat brunch. Whether out at a favourite spot or prepared at home, we want to ogle over your pancake stacks, Benny variations, hearty oatmeals and savoury frittatas. Brunch may not be an official meal of the day, but it just may be the most delicious. Show us why, Gastroposters.

As a lactose- and gluten-free beverage, Almond Breeze is a versatile replacement for any liquid in all your favourite recipes and adds a delicious nuttiness that you’ll love — especially at brunch! Not only is Almond Breeze a great addition to the beloved healthy smoothie, it’s great for giving brunch classics such as pancakes a twist with a hint of almond flavour. Top these oatmeal almond pancakes with seasonal fruit and yogurt or keep it simple with maple syrup. For this recipe and many more, visit almondbreeze.com/applications/recipes. Use Almond Breeze in your kitchen to create the best brunch for this week’s mission, and let us know by adding the hashtag #coolerwithalmondbreeze to your #gastropost. We’ll feature some of your ideas in next week’s paper!
