Read MoreMarinara sauce is one of easiest tomato sauces you can make. My marinara takes less than a half hour to make and is a bit of a hybrid sauce in regards to flavour as I add onion, a bit of anchovy paste (easily omitted for a vegan or vegetarian marinara), both basil and oregano and I add parsley too. It is still lighter than a traditional tomato sauce and it is delicious!

Read MoreBrowned and Baked Falafel is a wonderful recipe! So full of amazing nutrition and deliciousness. Falafel are often deep fried or at least in a lot of oil in your frying pan.

These can be served in a pita with a load of other things - hummus, tzatziki, greens/spinach, cooked or pickled beets, caramelized or oven roasted onions, and tahini as in the photo – or on a bed or rice with a salad on the side. When in a pita, it can get a bit messy as you devour this goodness, but aren’t the best things in life a little messy? Eat these with wild abandon!
