There are several recipes on the Canadian Consultant's Corner site (not sure if they are on the American site). The recipes that I see are: Bread Bowl with Kale & Artichoke Dip, Candy Cane Cookie, Cheesy Spinach Pinwheel Wreath, Chocolate Macaroon Pizza, Mini Cinnamon Roll Wreath, Peanutty Brownie Pizza, Sausage & Pepper Brunch Pizza, and Turkey Taco Ring. Do any of them appeal to you?
