Rapini and tofu are stir-fried in a sweet and sour Chinese cooking sauce. A quick, easy and tasty one skillet dish, serve it over a bed of rice.

These individual taco pizzas are loaded with flavors. Spread with basil pesto, topped with juicy yet chewy, and sweet oven-dried cherry tomatoes, and shredded mozzarella. After baking, they come out cheesy, juicy and delicious!

Enchiladas is one popular Mexican food, this version uses black beans enriched with onions, garlic and cumin as the filling and salsa verde for the sauce.

I made these muffins with the leftover zucchini pulp from the basil and ricotta stuffed zucchini recipe. They turned out fluffy, moist and packed with yumminess. Another awesome recipe to make zucchini into something delicious :-)

It is corn season, so many fresh and sweet corn, we use them with sour cream and red pepper, some scallions and fresh cilantro, give the corn very rich flavor, and this is a very healthy way to cook corn too, enloy summer and corn!

Whole roasting a chicken is a great way to economize. This herb roasted chicken always turns out moist and juicy with great flavor. I then package the leftover meat one cup at a time into zipper bags and store in the freezer for later use in casseroles or hashes. Then using the remains I made a homemade chicken stock that is much better than any store bought stock.

A hearty vegetarian version of my favorite soup. It's easy to make it vegetarian by using roasted vegetable stock instead of beef stock. By adding a leftover parmesan rind (I save them in the freezer for this soup) it adds extra flavor. (optional)

This custard peach pie is a great way to use seasonal peaches. The custard is creamy and sweet, and the pecans in the crust and topping are a yummy addition. It’s hard to resist this delicious treat!

Love miso, the fermented flavor gives the dish incredibly delicious taste. I developed this recipe, and use miso and water as the base, add fresh Asian vegetables, and let boil for a few minutes. I always have the soup with some Korean Kimichi. Here the recipe is.

An easy way to roast a whole chicken, and it comes out tender, moist and delicious. The leftovers can be put into salads or wraps or sandwiches to make a few more simply delicious meals.

A hearty beef stew served over mashed potatoes - a cold weather delight!

Summer squash, zucchini and fennel bulb are all freshly seasonal. Fire up the BBQ, grill these fresh vegetables, toss with juicy cherry tomates, a light and tasty vinaigrette and feta cheese. You can pair it with any grilled meat. Next day the leftover can be wrapped into wraps, or tortillas, or topping for pizza, another quick, easy and delicious meal!

Fresh or frozen strawberries, both work well here, and the shortbread like crust on top gives the nice crunch with the soaked in strawberry juice. It is full of fresh strawberry flavor, and it is so refreshing and tasty. A great fruity dessert.

Really enjoyable.

So much better than deep frying.
