A simple, delicious, flexible dish. Use in-season local vegetables for variation in any season!
"A plate of raw vegetables lightly dressed with lemon juice, garlic and a bit of olive oil offers great antioxidant protection."
Add chicken, tofu, or shrimp if you'd like. Picture w/ chicken, but not calculated into the nutritional info
These no-bakes are more snack than dessert, but equally addictive and a tad more sophisticated in flavor. The pumpkin is deep as I reduced the puree down by half on the stovetop. My chosen way of spicing pumpkin is with a heavy dose of cinnamon elevated with smaller amounts of nutmeg and clove. The aroma of spiced pumpkin immediately fills your home. Sweetness comes in the from sugar and dulce de leche, just think of it as a way to use up the rest of your can after making my other no-bake cookies.
Top the cookies off with a bit of fleur de sel for balance and call it fall. Tasters told me these were reminiscent of pumpkin pie mixed with their favorite granola bar. They have that sort of wholesome quality to them. Give my Spiced Pumpkin & Oatmeal No-Bake Cookies a try this fall.
I found this recipe on Pintrest but decided to make it even more healthy! You won't feel an ounce of guilt snacking on these, but it sure will satisfy that "comfort-food" craving! This batch made 2 snack servings for me. If you want a lot of leftovers (or have multiple people eating them- they go quick), then double this recipe! You can also toss in 1/4 c. diced cherry tomatoes, mini pepperoni slices (unhealthy but yummy), diced peppers... get creative!
This is a great way to get the family to eat veggies and it is an awesome meal for those of us who don't need a lot of meat. It does have a wee bit more calories and fat, but it is meant as a meal.
Easy to make, flavourful, and completely vegetarian. Just be cautious if you have a sesame allergy as this is what tahini is made from.
Steaming and relying on saute-ing the vegetables prior to adding the liquids helps retain the colour and the nutritional value of the ingredients in this easy-to-make soup.
By relying on the flavour added by the bouillon, the pepper and the bayleaf, the sodium level in this soup is kept lower than other preparations while still remaining a hearty and filling meal.
Portioned out and placed in the freezer, this recipe is great for grabbing a lunch on the go.
You can buy a tin of chick peas at the grocer, and you can substitute any kind of feta cheese for this very traditionally prepared Greek-style salad. Lots of flavour, lots of colour, not a lot of "bad" going on here.
I add jalapenos on top of the cheese before baking at 350 for 10 minutes. This is a large, very filling meal but half the calories of those served in a Mexican food restaurant. Not a staple meal but a nice treat every now and then - with half the guilt.
Black bean dip goes well with baked totilla chips for a low-fat but tasty treat. Experiment with the spices and make according to your taste.
