This is a simple, only 3-ingredients, recipe that is fun to make and delicious to eat. I’ve cooked these both pan-fried and boiled and both are fabulous. Drizzle with some olive oil on top, or the sauce of your choice, and let the flavour of the super healthy sweet potato shine through. Plus the orange looks so pretty on your plate.

Refreshing Watermelon Strawberry Cooler

A delicious refreshing slushy drink that is wonderful on its own or, if you are so inclined, add a shot of gin or a splash of coconut rum to turn it into a cocktail. I like mine without, so it’s a mocktail! I keep a pitcher in the fridge and it’s such a welcome drink – tastes like a decadent treat when it’s really low calorie and the ingredients pack such powerful nutritional goodness so healthy for us! Make up a pitcher and enjoy!

Roasted Mushroom Polenta

Polenta – 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!

Homemade Hoisin Sauce

Homemade sauces, like my hoisin sauce recipe, are quick and easy to make and add more nutrition to your meal. I prefer to make my own sauces so I can control the ingredients, making sure they are top quality, limit the amount of sugar and salt that goes into it and leaves out the commercial additives that our bodies don’t need, like preservatives, chemical colour and thickening agents and they taste so fresh and flavourful!
