Posted for zaar world tour 2005. Identifying a canadian recipe, for an american, was difficult. Good thing i found at least one good one, on the internet. St. Ives makes a wonderful vegetarian substitute for canadian bacon. Lower in fat than the original (which i understand is still pretty low in fat). This is a diabetic recipe, from taste of home's light and tasty. Exchanges: 1 starch, 1 lean meat, 1 vegetable. I have not tried this yet, but i will. Butter granules are new to me; i might as well experiment.
