Recipe Sifter

These mini pizza muffins are quick-easy to make, and very tasty. They won't last long, kids and adults gobble them up in record breaking time. Great for a snack and they freeze very well (that is if you can get them into the freezer before someone eats them all!)

Cheesy, oozy and juicy casserole. A delicious way to use up the eggplant without putting too many calories on you.

For starters, the water, beer and sugar take this recipe in the wrong direction. Substitute these ingredients with red wine. Also, forget the pork - this has not flavor in chili. Just add more beef. These small changes would have won them $40,000. I made those changes and had people chasing me for the recipe afterwards.

This is one of our favorites. I add more lemon (yes, with the rind!). It's sooo good! Not bitter. I looked online to find it because I misplaced my "Award winning recipes" cookbook in the move. I use vinegar instead of wine (about half the amount) because we don't stock wine.

Finally make those cabbage rolls you've always wanted to try with this simple and delicious recipe.

Absolutely delicious. First time I made an eggplant dip, and it was surprisingly tasty. The mixture of roasted bell peppers, eggplants, feta cheese, garlic and onion was so yummy and flavorful.

Try this tantalizing seafood pasta dish that will add a new flavor to your cooking style and feed your hunger.

Cheesy, crispy and tasty. These phyllo rolls are great for a fancy appetizer, or a side dish, or a simply delicious main dish.

Golden flour-dredged chicken breast simmered in Italian plum tomatoes with mushrooms, peppers, onion, and oregano in an electric skillet. Served over spaghetti, this one-pan cacciatore is a reader favourite.

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 :)

Make your own bulk Italian sausage at home with ground pork, fennel seeds, red pepper flakes, and a bold garlic punch. Season it your way, skip the casings, and freeze in batches for pasta night, pizza, and more.

Baked in a flavorful white wine and cilantro sauce, tons flavor is packed into fish during the baking, and it comes out juicy, tender and falls apart.

Make your own bean burgers with TVP, pinto beans, bread crumbs, and other spicies. They taste a lot more flavorful than the store-bought frozen ones.
