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.

Mapleleaf roast turkey... it's a big yum fest with this Thanksgiving turkey. The crispy browned skin is like Canadian Peking duck. Roasted and glazed with a reduction of maple syrup and apple cider does the trick. It's like a Canadian recipe eh?

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 :)

Unlike the classic French toast that's usually high in calories, fat and very rich. This recipe uses 1% milk, egg whites only and whole wheat bread, which makes a much healthier French toast for breakfast that still tastes delicious. Some fresh fruits, a cup of orange juice and a bit maple syrup, a yummy and wholesome breakfast is ready to enjoy.
