I married a Canadian - and he's proud of it, big surprise :) I'm glad though, because we get even more holidays in our home....like boxing day (huh?) and I'm sure some other good ones. Anyway I asked George how they celebrate Canada Day and he said they have BBQ's at the park and watch fireworks...sounds familiar doesn't it. But it's a big birthday party so what more can you expect? I made his favorite dessert, nanaimo bars. Eventhough this was my first time making them and wasn't sure how they were even supposed to be, they turned out quite delicious. Here is the nanaimo bar recipe that I used if you're ever feeling Canadian. Disclaimer for this recipe...still not sure if it is THE best recipe, the bottom crust didn't turn out like we wanted. So if you find a better recipe let us know. And Happy Canada Day to you all!! (July 1st)
