For some parts of the country, another long weekend is ahead of us – perhaps an extra day to just get out of the city and reconnect with nature. If you're fortunate enough to be heading up to a cottage, here are some yummy recipe ideas to help you through the weekend!

What is triple-tested? Our Food Team creates, develops and tests every recipe at least three times (sometimes more!) to make sure it’s delicious and foolproof. We also make sure it’s easy to follow and shop for. Our professional testers weigh all the ingredients for nutritional analysis, verify how long it takes to prep and cook each recipe and check if it can be made ahead. We re-taste and adjust as needed. To confirm results in different kitchens, recipes are also tested at home — by us or by you. Sign up to be a home tester: testing@chatelaine.com
