Sweet cherry tomatoes, crunchy cucumbers, smoky toasted corn, toasted walnuts, black olives and feta cheese are tossed together with extra-virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, parsley and mint, a tasty and flavorful salad that can be served as a side dish or a nutritious and delicious main dish!

Roasted vegetables are always a great side dish with grilled or roasted chicken, beef or fish. It's so easy to make, and fresh veggies taste delicious once roasted at its peak.

I love this baked omelet, the mixture of asparagus and mushroom created the crunchy and meaty texture, Swiss cheese gave the cheesy taste. The best thing is that you can prepare everything the night before, then you can bake it the next morning when you get up. Before going to work, have this delicious and nutritious dish for breakfast to start a beautiful day, isn't that beautiful :)

A colourful vegetable mixture accompanies succulent salmon steaks for a quick and easy dish. Great with steamed rice.

This should be one of the easiest and yummiest way to cook tuna. The beurre blanc was creamy and rich, wasabi added a bit zing. We didn't have cream, so just used milk instead, which was rich enough to our taste, and it worked deliciously with tuna. Sesame seeds added a bit crunch and nice nuttiness. The salmon was cooked to perfection, seared on both sides, and still moist on the inside. A very impressive dish.

This focaccia turns out crusty outside and fluffy inside, the roasted bell pepper, chilis, cherry tomato and mozzarella give the focaccia amazingly delicious flavor. Eating it directly without anything else is yummy enough to satisfy your palate. This recipe is adapted from Chef Nancy, New York Times!

I use crushed Ritz crackers instead of bread crumbs and add 2/3 cup of shredded sharp Cheddar. A simple gravy to go along with the meatloaf can also be made using another packet of soup mix, 2 Tbs. flour and 2 cups of cold water. Simmer until thickened.

Low-fat plain yogurt, chopped fresh parsley and scallions make the dish creamy and tasty. An excellent way to cook mini potatoes.

A bowl of warm chili is made of quinoa, black beans, spices and lots of tomatoes. Serve it over a bed of rice or with some good crusty bread.

Baked fish is always a good way to cook fish. This cajun-style baked fish, is very easy to make, tasty too.

I've always been a fan of combining sweet fruits with savory spices, it sets up a certain flavor balance that just works so well. Mango with chili pepper, peaches and thyme, rhubarb and rosemary. They're all delicious, so can there be any question that blackberries and rosemary would just be a match made in heaven?

Kick up your Independence or Flag day celebration an extra notch by making your own home-made ketchup (catsup) to make your barbecued hot dogs and burgers extra special. This is an easy way to really impress your friends and family and it's much better tasting than store bought varieties.

Tender chunks of beef, slowly braised in tomatoes with carrots and peas. An easy delicious stove-top beef dinner.
