Don’t we all get a little tired of the same old same old for breakfast? I have a solution for those doldrums! Quinoa for breakfast, this time baked.

Read MoreThe flavours in this recipe are so delicious – a great blend of individual flavours and spices that go so well together. Brussels sprouts lend themselves so nicely to cooking to a crispy state, and are so healthy for us. The carrot and apple lend sweetness and the kielbasa makes it all so toothsome. The caraway seeds and sauce are delicious and tie the whole dish together! And it is loaded with great healthful nutrition. It doesn’t take long to make so lunch or dinner are on the table quickly.

It looks very impressive and tastes even better!
Read MoreThis shawarma chicken and veggies is a sheet pan wonder! The spiced chicken, warm roasted veggies combined with the fresh cool veggies is so delicious.

If in a hurry, 30 minutes is the minimum. If you can prep in the morning or the night before, so much more the better. Plus, it makes dinner time that much easier and quicker!
Read MoreMade with cauliflower, this Alfredo recipe lightens up the original and results in a healthy, thick, garlicky tasty sauce.

So good!
