Lemon Rice is one of the popular and simple dishes made during festivals in India.The Sour tangy taste makes this dish really mouth watering!!!!

A soup which is a combination of Mediterranean garlic soups with a 17th century East European fava beans soup. Quite good.

When making smoothies, use the whole fruit or vegetable and blend in a good high powered blender (Vitamix and Blendtec are two of the best ones). Fresh fruits and vegetables contain large amounts of soluble and insoluble fibre which will help keep blood sugars stable and keep you full for longer. The combination of ingredients in this smoothie makes it an ideal breakfast as it contains protein, fibre, omega-3 fatty acids and probiotics for healthy digestion.

Tostadas always make a nice alternative to a salad. Love the crunch, I used beef that was cooked with some taco seasoning instead of chicken.

We’re sure you’ll be converted to this healthy substantial burger option once you try it, we are also sure that you won’t only be eating it on the 31st August – National Burger Day. Flaxseeds or linseeds are small oilseeds that originated in the Middle East thousands of years ago. Flaxseeds have a high content of Omega-3 which is good for heart health and they are 29% Carbohydrate, of this, a massive 95% is fibre which is good for digestion. They contain many vitamins, minerals and essential amino acids so understandably they are becoming more popular. Be aware though – they do not contain Lysine so they cannot be considered a protein source, but this can be found in another ingredient, the black bean. A great alternative burger recipe!

California Beef and Bean Chili recipe

This was very easy to prepare, but I would double the chili paste next time and add some "red" to it- i.e. red bell pepper or carrots.

Yum.

A very hearty version of my favorite soup. Add crushed red pepper to turn up the heat. It's delicious!! Perfect comfort food for a cold winter's day!

These delicious stuffed peppers are packed with goodness. Make this tasty meatless dish for a change.

There are hundreds versions of this very Polish soup. Here you have an original proposition of mine. I used to cook it on the base of my favorite duck and chicken stock. The cream is a must to create wonderful pink color. Optionally you may add a quarter or a half of hard boiled egg to your bowl. By the way, I change my recipe sometimes, for instance by adding dried California prunes instead of sugar, or by adding some white vinegar instead of lemon juice.

This recipe is a winner! It can be a complete meal if you put some fruits or a green leaf salad and a cup of your favorite hot beverage on the table.
