I make this sprinkle mixture to have on hand in the kitchen. It is a wonderful seasoning on soup - so, so delicious! We love it over popcorn. Sprinkle it over pasta or sweet potatoes or egg salad and avocado open-faced sandwiches! I have even added a teaspoon or two to hot water for a soothing delicious bouillon-style drink.
Read MoreQuinoa! For those unfamiliar with this wonderful food, quinoa is an ancient food – cultivated by the Incas in the Andes for thousands of years. Some love it and for those who aren’t fans of it, I’m sure it’s because it hasn’t been cooked properly when you had it!
Read MoreDoesn’t this salad look good?! It tastes so delicious and satisfies even more! With some simple effort in your food prep, everything you need will be waiting in your fridge to put this lunch together in a few minutes.
Read MoreMaking your own salad dressings is so easy! This is one of my favourites – it can be a salad dressing or a sauce that you can use in fajitas, with cooked meat, with cubed pan roasted tempeh cubes, roasted veggies, boiled potatoes, over a half avocado, a drizzle over sliced hardboiled eggs… It’s really good!!
Read MoreMy husband makes the BEST pan-seared trout. Prepared this way trout is so delicious, so tender and so flavourful. If you ever hesitated to buy trout, buy it and follow this recipe!
Read MoreNot everyone is fond of Brussel Sprouts. This recipe might just switch them over to being a fan. The stars of this recipe are browned butter, sliced almonds and parmesan cheese! This is a simple tasty recipe that I have served at many a family holiday dinner!
Read MoreLike many cooks, you likely peel then chop, mince or crush your garlic and cook it right away. By doing this you are missing out on a very healthy nutritional benefit.
Read MoreThis plant-based burger is a twist on the regular bean burger. Yes, this has beans – navy beans (or sometimes referred to as white pea beans), and also rice and sweet potatoes. The twist with this burger is that it has beets which boost the nutrition and makes the colour a nice pink.
Read MoreRisotto Primavera (Spring in Italian) is a perfect dish with which to welcome Spring! I learned how to make risotto from my Zio Emil – we called him the Risotto King. His risotto was legendary. Here is my version of Risotto Primavera. Buon appetito!
Read MoreThis is a great slow cooker dinner – easy to prepare, only a few ingredients, then set it and forget it until dinner time.
Read MoreI like to make my own spice mixes as I can limit the amount of salt, mix flavours, balance the spiciness to suit the palate of my family and the ingredients are all natural. Plus, it’s fun and easy and I find homemade makes the food taste better!
Read MoreCabbage is, in my opinion, an underrated and under-utilized vegetable. It is so much more than coleslaw! Cabbage is full of healthy nutrients and is very versatile in soups, stews, in fillings for burritos, enchiladas or tacos. Cabbage becomes soft and almost sweet when cooked.
Read MoreI created this recipe to include more plant-based meals in our weekly rotation. This recipe is very versatile and you can use any other veggies you wish, serve with rice noodles or quinoa, drizzle with tahini instead of topped with an egg, or slice a hardboiled egg instead of one sunny side up.
Read MoreQuesadilla contents are fun to change up. Family favourites here are the straight-up salsa, greens and cheese. Or, alfredo sauce with chicken, baby spinach and diced roasted red peppers. Mashed beans and tahini to keep it dairy-free.
Read MoreI love a good One Sheet dinner recipe. The prep is easy and the clean up is even easier and the cooking time of less than a half-hour means you have a fabulous dinner on the table that is perfect for a healthy family dinner and elegant enough for company!
