Salmon Burgers
A tasty - and nutritious - alternative to beef burgers. The recipe calls for canned salmon but I'll also use leftover grilled or baked salmon if I have it on hand. Don’t forget the horseradish – it pairs well with these burgers!
Mango Cashew Salad
This simple, flavourful salad is bursting with antioxidants. Use mangos that are slightly firm so they hold their shape when you mix the salad. This recipe also makes a delicious salsa that pairs well with grilled fish and chicken.
Grilled Balsamic Portabello Mushrooms
Portabello mushrooms have a meaty texture and rich flavour, making them a tasty vegetarian alternative to a steak or a beef burger. I also like to add sliced grilled portabellos to a platter of mixed grilled vegetables. So easy and so delicious.
Three Bean Salad with Cilantro Lime Dressing
Cilantro (a favourite herb of mine) and lime juice make this bean salad taste delicious! Serve it as a side dish with dinner and take the leftovers for lunch during the week. If you like, toss in some grilled corn.
Thai Roasted Trout with Fresh Lime
Rainbow trout is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids that help keep your heart, brain and eyes healthy. This dish is as delicious as it is simple to make.
Black Bean Hummus
Gram for gram, black beans have 15% more fibre and 25% fewer calories than chickpeas. Serve this dip with raw vegetables or spread on whole grain crackers.
Lemon, Blueberry and Millet Muffins
When added to baked goods, like these muffins, millet provides a crunchy texture and nutty taste.
Red Lentil Soup
Don't be fooled by their red hue - when cooked, red lentils turn pale yellow. And unlike many other pulses, red lentils are very quick to cook.
Blueberry Walnut Muesli with Rolled Oats and Flax
This hearty whole grain muesli is delicious when combined with Greek yogur or kefir and fresh berries.
Whole-Grain Lentil Casserole
I’ve been making this (gluten free) casserole for years and still love it. It’s also a huge hit with my clients—even kids like it! I usually serve it with steamed broccoli for a vegetarian meal but oyu can also serve it as a side dish…
