Porcini-mushrooms/2 recipes

Arugula (Rocket) or Baby Spinach tossed with a flavorful warm mushroom and onion dressing. A perfect balancing of fresh clean flavor with a warm woodsy note from the mushrooms.

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 :)

These were delicious after a little bit of tweaking. I don't think I've ever made meatballs without some garlic, so I felt the need to add one large clove of minced along with a teaspoon of soy sauce, replacing the 1/2 teaspoon of salt, in the meat mixture...

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!

This moist and flavorful corn bread is packed with delicious yet nutritious ingredients, such as browned onions, roasted corn, basil, roasted bell pepper, cheese... You can serve it as a side or it's delicious just by itself.

This is a recipe I made for a food styling course from a cookbook. The assignment was to duplicate the look and feel of a recipe from a magazine or cookbook. This is a modified recipe that came from the book Healthy Appetite by Gordon Ramsay.

Classic Viennese Christmas cookie. Soft and buttery with a dusting of snowy sugar.

This is not your classic bundt cake that's packed with not-so-good-for-you ingredients. The cake is made with 100% whole wheat flour, grapeseed oil, Greek yogurt, low-fat cream cheese, and fresh raspberries. The ganache doesn't have any butter or cream, it contains cocoa powder, honey, grapeseed oil and Greek yogurt. Super chocolaty, fudgy, moist and packed with goodness.

Quick, easy and delicious. An ideal breakfast.

Simple and basic

The combination of cashews, lentils, brown rice and other spices was delicious. Right balance of the flavor and the texture, we used cherry tomatoes instead, that's what we had on hand. It's a tasty yet nutritious meal.

You will love how tasty this salad is. You can serve it as a side dish, or just have it for a simply flavorful yet nutritious main course.

Very moist and fluffy inside, golden brown outside; sour cream added the extra moist and tangy flavor, I used 3/4 cup of brown sugar, and I thought it was the right sweetness. If you have some ripe bananas on hand or you love banana bread, I will definitely recommend this recipe.

This well balanced casserole has everything you need in supper. Creamy sauce, cheesy topping, and the yummy combination of broccoli and chicken make a delicious and filling meal that's also full of goodness.

Golden brown chicken with loads of mushrooms, leeks and spiked with a whiskey cream sauce.
