A healthy alternative to an American favorite.

It's the perfect time of year for this recipe! Sweet potatoes are one of the most delicious (and nutritious!) winter comfort foods, and the warm maple syrup flavor of this dish is the perfect complement to cold weather. Choose medium sweet potatoes with firm, unblemished skins — they'll have the best flavor!

These add a hearty side to any meal.

Cookbook creator says: This is great. I added mushrooms and an egg for breakfast with a bit of protein. Could use a bit of onion as well. Very nice. Sub tofu for eggs.

Low-fat but spicy and creamy, this is my family's favourite recipe for cheesy cauliflower. We like to mix in broccoli and green beans too!

Green beans and onions are lightly sautéed in only 1 tablespoon of oil.

Broccoli is my favorite vegetable, but not everyone agrees with me. To convert people, I like to serve this simple recipe. Garlic sauteed in olive oil offers a sweet richness, and the lemon juice offers a nice tang.
If you are using fresh broccoli, peel the stalks and dice them before adding to the cooking water.

Fritters are typically fried; these are baked to cut the fat. Just about anything can become fritterish; all you need is something to hold it together, such as egg, breadcrumbs, and/or mashed beans. This one has all three.
