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 :)

Pretty darn easy and tasty. I had all ingredients on hand and didn't have to worry about a trip to the store. I didn't use any cayenne because we have small children, but it still came out great. The sauce was tasty over rice!

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

This is a great way to use up some leftover turkey breast. Not to mention after the holidays we all need a little weight watcher help!

Warm and cheesy hors d’oeuvres that are easy to make. Bacon, cheddar and spinach naturally go together and are oh so tasty.

Great way to turn a bit of leftover turkey into a hearty, filling and inexpensive meal. Improved by adding a dash of soy sauce, sesame oil and splash of rice vinegar when serving.

A great Sandwich maker and a light Summer Main Dish with a side salad, or as a salad topper, or stuffed into a Wrap or Tomato. Best served next day as flavors will have blended better.

Modified from a fine cooking recipe for a more reasonable serving size, a cheesy Italian baked pasta dish that's satisfying and filling for two.

Easy, delicious and packed with goodness. They are great for breakfast, lunch or snack.

Basic Buttermilk Biscuits recipe

Make your pasta dishes seem authentic with this spaghetti sauce made of Italian sausage, tomatoes and a variety of spices.

These cherry cream cheese bars were divine. The cream cheese added the rich creaminess; I made my own cherry pie filling, which was packed with cherry flavour and not super sweet, also did a few changes to make these bars healthier (see the linked recipe below) but still decadent.
