If you love sweet and sour taste, this recipe won't disappoint you. It was delicious.

This is the best lassagna I have ever tried, basil-pesto definitely gave the whole lasagna tons of tasty flavor, also used low-fat milk and cheese, reduced the amount of fat, but the sauce was still creamy, asparagus was tender-crispy between the layered creamy stuffed noodles.

These cute mini tarts are made with sweet cocktail or cherry tomatoes, zucchini, ricotta and mozzarella cheeses, drizzled with garlic-infused extra-virgin olive oil. The most simple ingredients create these stunning mini tarts.

Simply delicious. If you use canned beans, it only takes you about 10 minutes, a tasty and flavorful salad is ready. Have it as a side dish or a nutritious main dish.

These decadent cherry cream cheese bars will well satisfy your cravings for something rich and sweet. They are made with whole wheat flour, light cream cheese, homemade cherry pie filling, a small amount of butter and some olive oil. Much healthier but still tastes delicious. Nobody can resist these sweets, the more importantly you don't have to feel guilty about it.

Cheesy, creamy and tasty.

This easy and delicious roasted chicken with root veggies is an ideal dinner on a busy week day.

This version of the garlicky roasted eggplant dip does not have tahini in it as with a traditional version. While I really like an "authentic" baba ghanoush, I also enjoy the commercial Sabra brand, which uses mayo and some spices. It is slightly sweet and has a little kick. This is my rendition.

This is a traditional English sweet. Moist, rich cake with dates, covered in a caramel/toffee sauce. Best served warm.

A quick and easy summer salad is made with sweet and juicy cherry tomatoes, fresh and aromatic basil and mozzarella, then tossed with a balsamic vinaigrette. Fresh mozzarella is always the best, but feel free to use normal mozzarella if you don't have any fresh one on hand.

The whole family loved this recipe! The second time I made it I substituted some of the ketchup with chili sauce with no noticeable difference.

Excellent bread. Nice, light texture and good crust. I will add more caraway next time, though, as we really like that flavor. I doubled the recipe to make a large loaf, and it worked fine. I usually just use my machine for the kneading process and than finish the loaf by hand, but let the machine do the whole thing this time, since I was busy all day. Made the house smell great, and was perfect with a steaming bowl of split pea soup! Thanks for this keeper.

These roasted sweet potatoes go perfectly with the smoky and mildly spiced tangy lime sour cream. Definitely inspires you to cook sweet potatoes more often!

These easy to make mashed potatoes are very smooth and creamy. The garlic is boiled with the potatoes which embeds the garlic into the potatoes.
