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 MoreTzatziki sauce can be used on burgers, in a wrap with veggies and a protein like tamari sautéed tempeh, sliced cooked chicken or a sliced hard-boiled egg. It can be used as a salad dressing – you will want to thin it out a bit with a splash of olive oil, or eaten as a dip with crackers and cut up veggies!

Read MoreFreezing ginger! I keep fresh ginger in my fridge for when a recipe calls for fresh ginger slices. But mostly, I use frozen ginger. I freeze whole ginger and when I need ginger grated in a recipe, I simply take it out, grate it and then put the remaining piece of ginger back in the freezer. Super handy, super quick, super easy and super nutritious!

Read MoreThis very delicious mug cake is super easy to make and takes 2 minutes in the microwave to bake. For those who don’t have or like to use a microwave it can be baked in the oven as well and will just take a few minutes longer to dive into the deliciousness.
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 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. Making your own sauces is always preferable as you can use the best ingredients, no preservatives and control the amount of sweetness and salt. Using store-bought sauces are fine, just don’t add additional salt to the recipe!
Read MoreHomemade 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!
