Quinoa pancakes sound like an interesting way to cook quinoa, and these small pancakes turned out delicious. The lemon yogurt sauce was creamy, light and refreshing. These yummy quinoa pancakes can be served as an appetizer or a main dish.

So far, all my familiy love this recipe, I gave all my good friends this recipe to share, they all love it too.

One of the favorite items that is on the menu is the Barbecue sauce that was original made fresh in the store and used to dip the wings, the original chicken and now the chicken strips. Now it comes in a bag and all we have to do is adding hot water and keep warm.

Roasting gives the brussels sprouts deliciously smoky taste, maple syrup adds welcome caramelization, and the toasted hazelnuts brings warm nuttiness. Even if you are not a fan of these cute small cabbages, you will change your mind after this dish.

I make this soup every Halloween and is the "signal" to the family that the cool weather has arrived. I've been making it for 15 years now and out of all the soups I make, it is still everyone's favorite. Enjoy!

Moist, chocolaty, nutty, and delicious. This apple cake is made of fresh apples and apple sauce and frosted by both butter and chocolate frosting.

Made this cabbage and bean soup for dinner last night. Loved the soup, it was flavorful, tasty and very light. Browning all the veggies in the pot was a must, which developed tons of flavors and made the soup taste delicious.

Unlike traditional alfredo sauce, this light version has much less fat and calories but still tastes creamy and delicious. Broccoli not only adds some bright color to the dish, but also provides lots of nutrients. For an even healthier version, use whole wheat pasta.

Packed with fresh vegetables and lots of yummy flavors, it's refreshing and tasty.

While this cold salad has some elements of a traditional warm German potato salad, it is totally Americanized to suit my family's tastes. Great with grilled burgers, dogs, meats and poultry.

Use zucchini slices to replace lasagna noodles, which reduces lots of calories and carbohydrate, but it still tastes cheesy and flavorful. A great recipe to cook some seasonal zucchinis into a light yet delicious meal.

These turned out really great. Sweet and juicy explosions of corn along. The basil really makes this recipe shine. Nice light, clean and crisp taste, perfectly seasoned and it's quick and easy to make.

This delicious cherry tomato spaghetti sauce is full of flavor, roasting develops lots of yummy spots on these cherry tomatoes, and serve it with your spaghetti, you will be surprised by how delicious it is!
