Fig, Apricot, Sesame and Honey Pork Tenderloin

This simple yet fancy, delicious and nutritious recipe will come in handy as the holidays approach to the delight of family and friends. The combination of flavours, with the sweetness of the stewed fruits and honey and the mild acidity of the tamari and vinegar, blend together to perfection. Sliced boneless chicken breast works equally well for those who prefer chicken.  Serve with rice and a simple green salad for a pretty presentation and palate pleasing winter dinner.

Hazelnut Chocolate Chip Oat Squares (GF/DF)

I was inspired to make these squares as I had a jar of delicious hazelnut butter in the cupboard and thought it would be a nice change from peanut butter in baking. It looks like a lot of ingredients but it comes together quickly and the results are delicious. Don’t be tempted to bake them until they are really browned – they will be too crumbly that way. Enjoy these for breakfast, a energy boost snack or for dessert.

This Golden Milk Smoothie recipe is delicious and has the added benefit of protein and calcium in the cottage cheese and yogurt. If you want to keep this smoothie dairy free, use a coconut yogurt and swap the cottage cheese for a cup of white beans (cannellini or pinto), both provide plant-based protein and the beans also provide fiber, a wealth of B vitamins, including B12, iron, potassium, zinc, and other essential minerals.

Quick and Easy Homemade Bagels

This recipe for fast and appetizing baking powder bagels uses either wheat or gluten free flour and has 5 simple ingredients – 6 if you add sesame seeds sprinkled on top before baking. My recipe uses dairy-based Greek yogurt which is higher in protein than regular yogurt, is a good source of calcium, vitamin B2 and B12, selenium as well as vitamin A, zinc and potassium. Plain Greek yogurt is low in carbs and has little sugar. The flavoured varieties have more sugar so eat those in moderation. These heavenly rings are delicious hot from the oven or next day plain or toasted. So. Very. Good.
