Sister Interview: Maggie John

Maggie John enters Canada’s living rooms on a daily basis. As co-host of the country’s longest standing daytime talk show, 100 Huntley Street, she speaks words of hope to her audience that stretch from the Pacific to the Atlantic. As the first black host of the show, Maggie knows she is a trailblazer. But being in front of the camera is not what she originally set out to do. Her passion is story telling and so she was trained as a producer. In her current role she is able to pull out the details of guests’ stories from the interviewer’s chair.

In this interview, we hear how Maggie’s taping days consist of hair, makeup and lots of wardrobe changes, but her ordinary is also trenched in the ordinary tasks of family life. From mental setbacks to her mother’s Macaroni Pie recipe we cover it all. A great representation of the sisterhood, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

From fashion style to interviewing Lecrae, to books that have had a deep impact on her, we are sure Maggie will capture your heart as she did ours. We could have kept the conversation going for hours. Don’t miss this engaging conversation as we put her on the other end of the questions and interview the seasoned interviewer.

You can find Maggie on Instagram or her YouTube channel or on Instagram and 100 Huntley Street’s website.

Maggie’s Mom’s Recipe for Macaroni Pie

Note From Maggie: FYI: I usually eyeball all the measurements since I’ve made it for so many years!

  • 2 cups of Macaroni Dried Elbow Pasta
  • 1 cup of Milk (I use lactose free milk- but any milk will do!)
  • 2 eggs
  • 4 Tbsp. of Margarine
  • 460G of Medium or Old Cheddar Cheese

Preheat oven on 350 degrees

In a large pot boil Macaroni until soft

After cooked drain water and place Macaroni back in pot

Add Milk; Eggs and Margarine to the Macaroni and mix well.

Grease a ceramic baking dish and pour half of mixture into dish.

Cut thin slices of Cheese and cover the top of the mixture in the ceramic baking dish

Pour rest of mixture on top of cheese

Cut the rest of the cheese into thin slices to cover the top of the second layer of mixture

Place in oven for about 1 hour or until the edges of the cheese is lightly brown and crispy.

Take out and let the pie sit to cool for 15 minutes

Cut into squares and enjoy!
