These delicious tortilla pizzas are quick and easy to make, they are great for a week day dinner when you don't want to spend too much time preparing dinner.

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?

A succulent and tantalizing salmon dish made with garlic, horseradish and pure maple syrup.

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.

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.

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.

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