These gluten-free (can be dairy free and nut free, see Notes) muffins are a great start to the day as they contain no refined sugars and instead provide slow release energy through their relatively high protein content. If you are diabetic, use stevia in place of maple syrup.

This easy and refreshing salad has lots of great textures, and it's quite filling as well. Serve it as a side dish or a tasty and nutritious vegetarian main course.

This turned out quite nicely, great mix of textures and flavors. If you use store bought salsa and store bought tortilla chips you will want to watch the salt levels.

My two favorites were dark chocolate drizzled with white chocolate and white chocolate with crushed candy cane. These make great hostess gifts or gifts for neighbors or coworkers.

A drop biscuit is great for people with small kitchens. So simple, but oh so good!

Very tasty. It's hard to go wrong with potatoes and leeks. They seem a perfect combination especially when it comes up to soup, such as this chunky leek and potato soup. It was very easy to make, and packed with great flavors. If you prefer smooth soup, puree it in a food processor or blender. In whichever way, it's always delicious.

A simple quick and easy rice side dish. A great way to quickly dress up plain rice.

Simple and delicious, a great way to use up your beet greens!

Great comfort food. Its simplicity makes it a dish loved by many. The ingredient that makes this recipe special is the cottage cheese, which is not traditionally used in lasagna.

Delicious! Made this pie for dinner yesterday, and it came out great. Happened to have all the ingredients that the recipe called for, so gave it a go, and it was surprisingly delicious.

An easy and tasty frittata. It's also a great way to use up your leftover vegetables from the day before to make a delicious breakfast. It's very versatile, you can pretty much add any veggies or cooked chicken, or seafood, etc...
