Try this new twist to chicken wings that has a variety of spices that will satisfy your hunger.

I created this super comfort food soup after discovering celery root (celeriac) thanks to my European husband. I combine typical American green celery stalks and leaves with celeriac, which extra enhances the soup's flavor and makes it even creamier with just milk. No real cream needed. I top mine with croutons and extra celery leaves. Can easily be made vegetarian.

Sauteed mushrooms are mixed with asparagus and two kinds of cheese, phyllo pastry turns out golden brown and crispy. Easy to make, and tastes delicious!

Instead of roasting a whole chicken, I only cooked one skin-on and bone-in chicken breast. Used the same ingredients, browned the chicken breast in a hot pan for about 4 minutes on each side until nicely browned. Then baked in the oven until the internal temperature of the chicken breast reached 165 degrees F. Then let it rest for about 10 minutes, and it was juicy, tender and packed with flavour.

Juicy chicken breast stuffed with cheese, shallots and cheese. The phyllo really helps hold in the moisture to keep the chicken breast moist. This is a reduced fat version of a popular recipe and it's equally as tasty in my opinion. If you wish to reduce the fat even further omit the cheese altogether.

Crispy crusted chicken breasts stuffed with mushrooms and baked in a creamy sauce. Yum!

Pan-seared chicken breasts dredged in sage and nutmeg, deglazed with dry vermouth and sweet red peppers for an elegant 30-minute dinner.

Chunks of beef steak are slowly cooked in a crock pot with carrots, potatoes, onions and tomatoes. In the end, top the succulent casserole with some buttery and flakey pastry to form a pie, after baking, it's golden brown and delicious.

Unlike classic hummus, this one is made with chickpea, almond butter and light sour cream. It tastes incredibly creamy and delcious. If you are a big fan of all of these three ingredients, this hummus should on your to-make list. Enjoy :)

A tasty way to use up leftover turkey from Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. It includes leeks and mushrooms along with the turkey in a traditional flaky pastry.

Even the sweet potato/yam "dis-liker" (me) liked the flavor of these. Nice little bite from the cayenne. And the amount of sugar was just right. I don't care for really "sweet" yam dishes at all! Thanks for this addition to our holiday dinner. (Part of my "Thanksgiving 2010" Menu)
