Bought a small bag of mini cucumbers, made this pickle recipe, and it was sweet, a bit sour and crunchy. Delicious with most of the meals.

Enjoy the decadence of this rich classic lightened up. This simple and easy French onion soup lets you enjoy without the guilt. Use any leftover bread you might have, it's extra filling using some toasty whole-wheat grain filled bread and it gives a nutritional boost.

Super easy peasy and pucker baked carrots. This recipe is close to the one that Jamie Oliver prepared in Season 2 of his Naked Chef show, I think the episode was "A bun in the oven".

Sweet Gherkin Pickles recipe

.

Made popular by southern Italians in New York city restaurants this dish is based upon old-world family recipes. Here I've adjusted it to two hearty servings.

Roasted cauliflower, a tangy and tasty soy-ginger dressing with fresh scallions, a delicious side-dish that you can serve with any main course; or just having it directly is a joy too!

Be sure and double this recipe. It only makes 2 dozen cookies, hardly worth getting the dishes dirty! But the cookies are tasty!

Mixing brie with the mashed potatoes adds an incredibly creamy and rich taste. Baked in the oven adds a nice crisp crust on top.
