Read MoreThis family favourite chicken dinner is always a hit. It’s a great dish to make for company too and looks much fancier than it really is! It is easy to put together, it cooks on the stove top, the quick sauce at the end absolutely makes this dish so delicious! It calls for sour cream but to make this recipe dairy free you can use coconut cream. Serve with some rice or quinoa to soak up the sauce, some steamed veggies or a salad on the side and your meal is complete and fabulous!

.This is a great dish to serve for those who are vegan and sharing your table! The cauliflower is toothsome and with this sauce – it’s just so delicious! Leftovers are so good reheated or eaten cold, so have them as a snack, add to a salad or as a side to dinner the next night!
Read MoreNeed a quick pasta dish that’s delicious and nutritious and where the veggies provide the flavour so no additional sauces are necessary? This fusilli chicken and veggies is a go-to for me! It cooks up quickly – in the time your pasta water gets boiling and the pasta cooks, the rest is done too and it’s on the table! I don’t add parmesan to this pasta dish – you can, of course, or for extra nutritional benefits, sprinkle some nutritional yeast on instead!
Read MoreI enjoy salads year-round and especially ones that double as a whole meal – for lunch or a light dinner. This recipe fits the bill. If you have some leftover rice, as in this recipe, or quinoa, include them in your salad to make it hearty and delicious.

Really, it truly is delicious and nutrition packed, gluten and dairy free, a one-pan recipe that is quick and easy to make. It is also super versatile – use whatever veggies you have in your fridge, and during our long Canadian winters, you can use frozen veggies.
Read MoreHere comes a one dish baked chicken recipe – chicken thighs, veggies, spicy goodness! The sauce pulls this dish together and it’s one baking dish for easy clean-up!

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. I love to make extra polenta, store in the fridge and then fry it up with an egg on top for breakfast or a light dinner with a side salad. Polenta is a wonderful base for so many toppings – a hearty stew, chili, sautéed or roasted veggies as in this recipe – mushrooms!
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 MoreThese Sweet Potato Fried are so easy to make and a great side dish for just about anything. I like my sweet potato fries with a hint of chili pepper but you can use any spice you feel like.
