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 an easy and versatile chicken recipe as you can make it to bake in the oven or to cook on the BBQ. I make my own Hoisin sauce but you can use a store-bought version as well.

Using store-bought sauces are fine, just don’t add additional salt to the recipe!

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!
