The combination of black beans and sweet potato gives these brownies a moreish, moist quality. These are great for kids as they contain no added sugar or trans-fats (you may wish to omit the coffee and substitute cacao powder if serving to youngsters, though).

Rich and fudgy brownies with a delightful frosting. You'd never know they contained zucchini!

"A wonderful combination of flavors and the frosting is fantastic."

These cute wicked cupcakes will definitely impress your kids and the friends, and they are delicious!

I got this recipe from a friend I used to work with. It is so good!

Sour cucumber soup (zupa ogorkowa): a tangy Polish classic of grated pickled cucumbers and potatoes in a creamy, dill-pickle-sour broth. Cozy, frugal, and built on pantry staples.

Kangaroo steak with wild mushrooms and red wine, seared fast in butter and served pink inside. An authentic Australian recipe ready in 15 minutes on a skillet or barbecue plate.

Very, very good. I used 1/2 semi sweet and 1/2 bittersweet - more of a sophisticated flavor. It was yummy. Stick to the milk chocolate or semi-sweet for the kids though. Besides a variety of fruit, I bought those little creme puffs in the freezer section - they were delicious dipped in the chocolate!

This was my lunch today, packed with goodness and yumminess. I only made 1 quesadilla for myself, so I quartered the recipe. It was delicious, loved the oozing cheese and the flavorsome veggies. A great combination on both flavor and texture. I broiled the top for a few minutes to make it nice, brown and crispy. Will be making this more often for sure.

Roasting delivers loads of flavor and meaty mushrooms with texture. The fennel adds lovely subtle sweetness punctuated by the fresh crunch of the radishes topped with a light citrus dressing.

Shrimp scampi the easy way: plump shrimp simmered in a garlicky butter sauce spiked with Italian seasoning, then served over rice. A fast, garlic-forward seafood dinner ready in about 30 minutes.

The earthy beets, spicy basil, creamy goat cheese and sour-sweet balsamic glaze make this salad with complimentary layers of flavors and textures.

Creamy avocados, juicy-sweet tomatoes, crunchy cucumbers, meaty chickpeas and salty olives are on top of a bed of lettuce or any your favorite greens. Drizzle some freshly homemade vinaigrette and serve with a few slices of good bread.

Easy to make, and it was delicious as well as packed with good-for-you ingredients. Will be making it again soon.

Couscous and chickpea salad with julienned ham, raisins, fresh vegetables, and a cumin-turmeric lemon dressing. A colorful 30-minute lunch salad that's equally great for meal prep or potlucks.

Salad with warm goat cheese: crumb-coated Montrachet rounds fried to a golden crust over tender greens in a champagne-cider vinaigrette. A French bistro classic worth every step.
