    1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
    2. Wash 1 lb (450 g) of potatoes and cut into small sticks. This is when adventurous eaters can replace the potatoes with butternut squash.
    3. In a large bowl, toss the potato sticks with 3 tbsp (45 ml) of olive oil and 1 tbsp (15 ml) of smoked paprika. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
    4. Place the potato sticks on a non-stick baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown. Flip the fries two or three times during cooking. Store in the fridge.
    5. Shred 2 cups (500 ml) of cooked chicken and place in a bowl.
    6. Add 2 to 3 cups (500 to 750 ml) of poutine sauce and 1 cup (250 ml) of frozen peas. Mix well and store in the fridge. Reheat before serving over fries with cheese curds.
    7. Cut 450 g (1 lb) of chicken breasts into 2 cm x 2 cm cubes. Place in a large bowl and toss with ½ cup (125 ml) of flour. Set aside.
    8. In a food processor, grind 4 cups (1000 ml) of BBQ chips into crumbs. Place in a shallow dish and add pepper to taste. Set aside.
    9. In a shallow dish, beat 2 eggs. Set aside.
    10. Dip each piece of chicken in the eggs, then in the chip crumbs.
    11. In a skillet over medium-high heat, heat ¼ cup (60 ml) of olive oil and cook the chicken nuggets for 15 minutes, or until cooked through. Turn regularly during cooking.
    12. In a small bowl, mix ¼ cup (60 ml) of mayonnaise, ¼ cup (60 ml) of plain yogurt, 1 tbsp (15 ml) of Dijon mustard and 2 tbsp (30 ml) of honey. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve with the nuggets. This is when adventurous eaters can add 1 tbsp (15 ml) of sriracha sauce to the mayonnaise mixture.
    13. In a small bowl, beat 2 eggs and set aside.
    14. Using a pastry brush, brush 12 small tortillas with egg, on one side only.
    15. Place a hot dog at the bottom of each tortilla and roll up tightly. Secure with a toothpick if needed. This is when adventurous eaters can add 1 tsp (5 ml) of ketchup on each hot dog before rolling.
    16. Trim both ends of the pogos to remove the excess tortilla.
    17. Place on a non-stick baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes, or until the pogos are golden brown. Flip halfway through.
    18. Remove from the oven, take out the toothpicks and insert a wooden stick into each pogo. Serve with your favourite condiments.
    19. In a skillet, heat 2 tbsp (30 ml) of olive oil and cook 300 g (⅔ lb) of fondue beef over medium-high heat for 1 minute per side, or until well cooked. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
    20. Open 4 sub rolls and fill with the cooked beef, 150 g (⅓ lb) of sliced pepperoni and 1 cup (250 ml) of shredded cheese. This is when adventurous eaters can replace the shredded cheese with a sliced ball of buffalo mozzarella.
    21. Place the filled rolls in the refrigerator before baking. All that's left to do is bake them at the right moment.
    22. Chop 2 cups (500 ml) of iceberg lettuce and slice 2 tomatoes. Store in the fridge to top your subs at the right moment.
    23. Place the rack in the centre of the oven.
    24. In a bowl, combine ½ cup (125 ml) of flour, ½ tsp (3 ml) of baking soda and a pinch of salt. Set aside. This is when adventurous eaters can add ½ tsp (3 ml) of ground ginger to the flour mixture.
    25. In the microwave, melt 2 tbsp (30 ml) of chocolate chips and ¼ cup (60 ml) of butter. Add ¼ cup (60 ml) of cocoa powder and mix well. Set aside.
    26. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat 3 eggs and ½ cup (125 ml) of firmly packed brown sugar for 3 minutes, or until the mixture has doubled in volume. Fold in the dry ingredients and the chocolate mixture.
    27. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the batter evenly over the sheet.
    28. Bake for 5 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the centre of the cookie comes out clean. Let cool for 15 minutes.
    29. In a food processor, combine 2 cups (500 ml) of 15% cream, 1 egg white, 3 cups (750 ml) of frozen berries and 2 tbsp (30 ml) of sugar. Blend until smooth and creamy. This is when adventurous eaters can add 1 tbsp (15 ml) of grated fresh ginger before blending.
    30. Store the mixture in the freezer in a large bowl with a lid or in individual portions.
    31. Repeat step 29; this batch will be the filling for the ice cream sandwiches.
    32. Cut the cookie into 12 equal rectangles.
    33. Spread the ice cream over 6 of the cookie rectangles without breaking them.
    34. Top with the other 6 cookie rectangles to form sandwiches. Remove any excess ice cream with a knife.
    35. Place the tray of ice cream sandwiches in the freezer for at least 1 hour before enjoying or wrapping individually.
