Flavor recipes

You will love how tasty this salad is. You can serve it as a side dish, or just have it for a simply flavorful yet nutritious main course.

Very moist and fluffy inside, golden brown outside; sour cream added the extra moist and tangy flavor, I used 3/4 cup of brown sugar, and I thought it was the right sweetness. If you have some ripe bananas on hand or you love banana bread, I will definitely recommend this recipe.

It's the season of Swiss chard and kale. We got lots of these fresh leafy greens from our CSA farm, and I was trying to come out an idea to use them up, surfing the internet, found a recipe in New York Times, it's a chard and feta phyllo tart. Definitely got the inspiration, I used both chard and kale, instead of feta, I used cheddar; and I sauteed some fresh mushrooms and added some toasted pine nuts, which worked very well. Also, I used a pie plate instead of a tart pan, and it was a great success, absolutely flavorful and delicious. The phyllo crust came out flaky and crispy. Have definitely become one of my signature recipes :)

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)

This casserole was scrumptious, the butternut squash and the sweet potatoes turned out soft, sweet and full of flavor; burglar gave the meaty texture and soaked all the delicious flavor; tomato, red wine and stock made a delicious base for this casserole.

Loved the idea of infusing curry, chili powder and cumin seeds in the oil, which made the curry oil so flavorful. The combination of apples, bell peppers, celeries, raisins, and peas (I used peas instead of snow peas) was delicious with the curried rice.

Almond and coconut add some delicious nutty and tangy flavor, made with oats, whole wheat flour and olive oil. Addictively delicious but good for you, and they are perfect for breakfast as well

Layers of textures and flavors in this salad. Crunchy and fresh bell peppers, sweet edamade, salty olives, feta and nutty pine nuts together make this salad amazingly tasty.

Fresh fall vegetables: broccoli, fennel and leeks. Or you can use cauliflower, cheesy flavor in the delicate crust with a nice tang from the olive tapenade.

This sweet, sour and spicy quinoa salad is loaded with flavor. Fresh mangos, spicy jalapeno, and basil give this quinoa salad amazingly delicious taste, and it is quick and easy to prepare as well.

Tasty and nutritious. This big pot of stew will warm up your whole family and provides both delicious flavor and health benefits.

It was so flavorful, instead of broth, we used canned tomato. Served the stew with homemade whole wheat bread, yum.

Super moist and packed with delicious flavors. These muffins were made with whole wheat flour, but still turned out soft and fluffy.

The combination of cashews, lentils, brown rice and other spices was delicious. Right balance of the flavor and the texture, we used cherry tomatoes instead, that's what we had on hand. It's a tasty yet nutritious meal.

Some Multigrain sandwich bread feels like a brick and tastes like a card board, which frustrates us especially when we want to move to a healthier diet. But not this bread, it actually feels soft and fluffy, perfect for making any sandwiches. The nutty flavor adds extra yumminess.

This are my version of oatmeal raspberry bar cookies, by using whole wheat flour adds extra fibre, using most olive oil reduces saturated fat without losing great texture and flavor. They are great for grab-go breakfast.
