It is an excellent way to incorporate more vegetables into your diet rather than starchy foods. This can improve energy levels and increase nutrition absorption rates.

I made this dish last year but just recently found the picture and the recipe I used. I got it from an Indian cook book but ended up switching some of the ingredients. Indian cooking is a great option if you’re trying to avoid gluten and/or dairy. In general, most ethnic cuisines don’t use much...

I’ve made this dish many times in the past few years. The sauce is definitely what makes it so tasty. Once you have the ingredients, try mixing them up a little to see what comes up. Once you have the sauce, you can add water and use it for salad dressings, or keep it thicker and use it for...

Rather than cooking meals in a pan, another great idea is to bake them. The flavours will remain intact rather than escaping from the pan. If you’re using a grain, it’s best to cook it before you put it in the pan. As well, if you’re using root vegetables or other ingredients that take a long...

I had some brown lentils and rice cooked already and decided to make a tomato based meal. I usually repeat this weekly but it really helps to have whole grains cooked ahead of time. Try it! It might be that extra kick you needed. When you look in the fridge and see grains that are ready...

This was yet another meal where everything just got thrown into the pot. When you have vegetables that need to be eaten, this is the best kind of meal to make. Make sure to have some spices on hand and it will usually taste delicious! I’ve mentioned this before, but if you cook some quinoa...

During the summer months, it’s nice to enjoy pasta salads for your meals. Like most meals, there are many different versions of pasta salads. You can make a heavy meal with lots of mayonnaise and cheese but you can also make a healthy alternative. Most pasta salads are made with white pasta which has been...

The best thing about making a meal is waiting. Well, the waiting part isn’t that fun and I always end up eating it the dish on the first night (and while I’m cooking), but once it sits for a day or even two, it tastes so much better. The flavours start to absorb into each...
