Love the almonds, pecans, and pumpkin seeds in my granola, and this recipe has its all. Plus maple syrup is my favourite go-to sweeter as well. I usually use dried apricots and mangos instead of raisins. Serve it with plain yogurt and fresh berries if they are seasonal. So yummy!

If you're a fan of combining wonderful flavors you will love this succulent dish that makes a great quick dinner.

This delicious savory onion tart is tasty, creamy, and absolutely delicious, a great way to impress your family or your guest.

Bev's Green Bean Casserole 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 :)

Much lighter than classic cheesecake, and it is very smooth and flavorful, nice and creamy flavor from ricotta cheese and sour cream, lemon juice and zests add the refreshing citrus taste into the cheese pie; and the almond crust was flaky, nutty and tangy.

A delicious and succulent dish that will have you and your friends licking your lips and fingers!

Quick and easy. Cooking the salmon on one side over a higher heat creates an incredibly crispy coating to the salmon with or without the skin. In this recipe a flavorful mushroom broth is quickly made. Any kind of mushrooms can be used but if you can find them try Enoki straw mushrooms for a unique treat.

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)
