Mixed different kinds of melon together, use mint, fresh orange juice, fresh lime juice to make a fresh dressing, a good start of a day with these fresh fruits salad.

The honey mustard vinaigrette was so flavorful, toasted butter and sugar coated pecans, dried cranberries and goat cheese were great combination.

Different kinds of fresh vegetables are tossed with this flavourful vinaigrette, it goes well with any kind of main dish, or even good on its own!

Excellent! Very authentic rendition of this classic soup. Very fresh and clean tasting with great flavor. It even beats the hot and sour soup from my favorite Chinese restaurant.

A veggie hating friend was over dinner and declared "wow, if my mom made vegetables like this!" as he went for seconds. The maple coated cashews are excellent in this recipe and the gentle touch of sweetness balanced with the curry is great.

Fantastic recipe! This afternoon we made this roasted carrots with cumin and chili as a side dish with barbecue, and it was delicious with grilled chicken or burger. Will be making this tasty yet easy recipe again!

Sesame oil and sesame seeds give the roasted green beans extra yumminess. Absolutely delicious with great texture!

This version of the classic green bean casserole lightens the load without sacrificing the flavor or creaminess. Making your own french fried onions adds loads of crispy fried onion goodness.

Easy to make, and it was delicious as well as packed with good-for-you ingredients. Will be making it again soon.

For cooking this risotto, we use slow cooker, so even no stir, the risotto is cooked wonderfully, and you can choose barly or brown rice, add more fibre.

The quinoa salad can be prepared in advance. Toasted quinoa is cooked with garlic and chopped apricots, tossed with this Moroccan Spiced Lemon Dressing. A delicious yet nutritious salad that can be served as a side or a main course.

A pretty side-dish that can be made ahead of time. Roasted asparagus and tomatoes with a refreshing citrus marinade, a quick and easy and tasty way to serve asparagus with lively colors.

Arugula (Rocket) or Baby Spinach tossed with a flavorful warm mushroom and onion dressing. A perfect balancing of fresh clean flavor with a warm woodsy note from the mushrooms.

This is the other dhal we made yesterday, when the cooking was close to the end, added some spinach that was cooked with garlic, dried hot chili peppers and mustard seeds, which gave the dhal extra zing and tang, another delicious dhal recipe, of course another good recipe that you can serve with naan bread and raita :)

Baked seasoned warm goat cheese adds a nice zing into the salad, fresh arugula and radicchio have the slightly peppery taste, perfectly match the olive vinaigrette and creamy goat cheese.

These lacy potato latkes are baked in a muffin pan instead of fried in a pan which helps avoid extra fat from the frying oil. The basil and garlic result in great pesto style flavor perfect for potatoes.
