Read MorePolenta – I’m sure you are familiar with this wonderful dish made of cornmeal but perhaps have not tried to make it. I encourage you to make this recipe and it is so simple and so delicious.

Read MoreSummertime = fast fun healthy food. And burgers always fit the bill. These burgers are inspired by the super healthy Greek spice oregano, garlic and onions, topped with tzatziki (not dairy free), tomato and sliced green olives. My recipe includes a trick to make these burgers extra yummy – see recipe! These burgers are also delicious topped with hummus and sprinkled with some nutritional yeast in place of the tzatziki – so YUM – and then they are dairy free (they do contain an egg)!
Read MoreThis is a wonderful recipe and since having developed it, it has become one of our family’s favorite. The spice mix with the lime zest and the splash of lime juice on the chicken gives the chicken a certain very special something! Trust me when I say you must make this recipe and it will become a favourite in your home too. I roasted sweet potatoes, beets and then added corn in to roast after a few minutes as well to keep it tender and moist – the corn can go in with the sweet potatoes and beets if you want the corn really roasted. This combination is rather unconventional and works really well. The colour on your plate is beautiful and the nutrition you will consume is wonderful and so healthful!

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!
