Technically this is a crustless quiche, but the addition of flour makes for a delicious crusty bottom and sides.

These are very simple to popovers, and puff up initially then fall to have a very light and flaky crust! Great for breakfast, lunch or dinner! Cool and freeze, pop in the microwave for one minute to reheat (for use within two weeks.)

This creamy, tangy dip does double duty: with mint, it's a perfect pair with Greek fare; with coriander and cumin, it cools down spicy Indian curries.

This recipe is really easy; it's really more of a process than a recipe. Rice paper wrappers, which are available in the ethnic sections of most larger supermarkets these days, are a great way to wrap your veggies and protein for a quick snack or light lunch.

Ditch the crust and boost your veggie intake with these eggplant "pizzas."

More than just plain cheese, this pizza will wake up your taste buds.

If you like thin crust pizza this is a good thing to try. I prefer it to the store bought crusts which are full of carbs, sodium, etc. This is also very versitile. You can use any cheese, toppings or sauce you prefer. This recipe makes a basic sauce from scratch but store bought is fine also

Use this to dress your salad or as a dipping sauce for cut vegetables. Don't like cilantro? No problem, just swap it out for Italian parsley or dill.

These are addictive. They're sweet, salty, spicy, and crunchy. Cut back on the sriracha/chili flakes to tame these fiery nuts. Use smoked (not hot or sweet) paprika.
