Flavourful leftovers are great in sandwiches, cut up in salads, added to pasta with butter and parmesan cheese, or eaten cold as a snack.

Super Easy Baked Chicken

I’m all about easy recipes in the summer time. Here is another super easy recipe, similar to my ‘alternative wing’ recipe and adds great flavour to baked chicken. It’s quick to make and have for dinner hot or to make ahead of time and keep in the fridge for a cold lunch or to cut up to add onto a crisp salad. It’s a great picnic take-along! If you want to keep your kitchen cool, pop these on the BBQ to cook!

Homemade Creamy Caesar Salad Dressing

Homemade Creamy Caesar Salad Dressing - a few ingredients, 2 minutes and you have a delicious and healthy dressing to top your romaine, or to use in many other ways – dollop on a sandwich, a bit on a hard-boiled egg is so yummy, top a burger (may I suggest my Best Black Bean and Quinoa Burger) or use as a sauce when cooking meat. Plus, there’s no excuse to not include a salad with your meal when you have a dressing ready to go in the fridge! Boost your nutrition everywhere you can!

Black Bean Veggie Soup

My Black Bean Veggie Soup is super simple and quick to make, budget friendly, with ingredients you likely already have in your pantry/fridge or are easy to buy at your local grocery store, it has a bit of heat to it which I love, reminds me of chili and packs so much good nutrition into a bowl of deliciousness.

All Natural Cough Elixir

An all-natural cough elixir that works! I have given this ages-old recipe of mine to so many people lately who have a Spring cold or have a covid cough and chest congestion. It’s got a kick to it from the cayenne and ginger, a sweetness to it from the soothing honey and best of all, it really works!

Easy Tuscan Chicken

Tuscan Chicken with a twist – it’s made with coconut cream! The flavours of the seared chicken simmered in the bouillon and coconut cream with the tomatoes and the spinach is so good! It’s a saucy delicious meal. And it’s quick to make – 30 minutes! Use vegan parmesan (recipe in the links below) to make it dairy free! Serve with rice or quinoa to have a gluten free dinner.

Simple Minestra (Soup)

Another recipe in the ‘back pocket’ category, this quick-to-make hearty soup is delicious and nutritious and perfect for a nice lunch, when you want something to warm you up and something healthy to fill you up. So versatile, it’s a great way to use up those veggies lingering in the fridge that have seen fresher days yet aren’t at the point of no return that you have to discard them in the green bin. Make up a potful soon and enjoy!

Charoset

Charoset is a sweet dish served at the Passover Seder and represents the mortar between the stones of the pyramids of Egypt. It can be eaten on it’s own or with traditional unleavened flatbread matzo. There are many versions of Charoset but each one typically has nuts, something sweet to hold the charoset together, fruit, some have spices, some have no spices and traditionally a kosher wine is used and now many recipes use fruit juice which makes it family friendly! Chunky or processed into a smooth paste there are many variations and many flavour combination and each one is delicious.

Roasted chickpeas are great to have on hand to snack on, to toss in a salad, to garnish an open-faced sandwich, to sprinkle over a home-made dip for veggies… so many delicious uses for them. They are easy to make and are filled with great antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, plant-based protein and fiber nutrition.
