Quinoa is getting more and more popular, it has a very unique and delicious taste, also it is high in fibre and protein. In this recipe, we use fresh pears, arugula, lightly toasted walnuts and dried fruits, mixing in some Jack cheese. It can be served as a side dish, but it also can be a delicious and nutritious main dish!

This decadent brownie recipe was recently clipped from my local newspaper.

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.

Cake doesn't have to be always packed with calories, fat and sugar. You only need a few simple twists to make a much healthier cake that still tastes delicious.

Yum! I added some sliced red bell pepper strips to give the dish more colour. Used fresh broccoli instead of mixed frozen veggies, and added a drizzle of sesame oil and rice vinegar in the end as well as some sesame seeds. Enjoyed the dish with a bowl of rice, so good!

A delicious and healthy dessert to make with juicy pears fresh from the orchard!

Roasted pears are tender, juicy with delicious caramelization. The mixture of arugula and romain lettuce adds yummy peppery taste and some nice refreshing crunch. The toasted walnuts and Parmesan cheese give extra yumminess.
