Grilled veggies and marinated tofu paired up with fragrant, healthy brown rice makes this a bowl perfect for anybody's beachy ambitions... any time of year! Perfect hot from the grill or room temperature.
My favourite way to eat salmon is this recipe in the chilled version, served over mixed greens.
This is my latest idea for my Christmas Eve dinner while the family is feasting on some festive dishes I can’t eat. If you like, add cheese, nuts and olive oil to your pesto, they’re on my no-no list, so I use pasta water and nutritional yeast.
This zippy, healthy stew is very easy and quick to prepare. The hardest part is chopping the potatoes!
Serve over pasta with a delicious, summery salad for an easy delicious romantic dinner.
Decoratively scored squid is an unusual protein in this spicy bowl, made with lots of veggies, ginger, red and green curry paste (hence "Christmas") and pineapple juice in place of coconut milk! Finished with lime basil, chopped cashews and a sprinkle of shredded coconut, it's an unusual yet delectable Asian feast.
Lobster-laced homemade pasta gets wrapped up in a chunky seafood marinara sauce before being finished with fresh herbs. Whatever you do, don't mask the delicate flavour of the seafood with cheese - if you *need* a topping, a sprinkling of breadcrumbs will suffice. If you are extremely adverse to cooking your own lobsters, most fish counters will cook your purchase for you. Just make sure the lobsters are, in fact, alive before you hand them over (some lesser places will cook already dead stock to make a sale).

Packed with flavour, this Cajun-style one-pot meal is made without an oily roux, being thickened instead with okra, brown rice and red lentils! The "medium" shrimp called for is commonly sold frozen as "31-35" count and is an economical protein addition to the mixture.
Adapted from Eating Well magazine, this is a great summer lunch out on the patio!
An excellent and healthy way to kick-start your morning, with alternate whole grains, fruit and carrots. It's like dessert, only better!
If necessity is the mother of invention, then Union Square Cafe's tuna burgers are one of our menu's most successful children. To complement the sweet-hot tuna burger flavours, choose a fruity white wine. It's also great with an ice cold glass of beer!
Roasted tomatoes, artichoke hearts, asparagus and (believe it or not) romaine lettuce form the body of this delicious, low-carb lasagne delight. Protein comes in the form of garlicky low-fat cottage cheese and silken tofu that have been pureed into a gorgeous white sauce filled with paprika, oregano and fresh basil! Recipe adapted from Ricardo Larivee.
You'd never guess the anchovy is the secret to the nutty eggpant sauce tossed with the chunky whole-grain pasta. With a whack of garlic and a pinch of spicy pepper flakes, this is Italian fare at it's Summer best!
This is always a hit when my mom makes it. It's definitely a special occasion dish thanks to the butter and cream (not to mention the expensive salmon) but if you're looking to impress this is the fish dish for you.
The heat from two kinds of fresh peppers gets mellowed out by cooling lime, sweet tomatoes and buttery shrimp. I definitely recommend using fresh, in season tomatoes for this, right off the vine cherry tomatoes from your own backyard if possible! Adapted from Weight Watchers.
A light, saffron-infused sauce with fresh tomatoes, mussels and garlic enrobes chunky spiral pasta and green beans. 36 mussels are about 1 1/2 lbs in-shell.
This tangy, lightly dressed salad of mixed lettuce (iceberg for crunch, romaine for classic flavour) and combined crab leg meat and surimi is the perfect meal for two. I don't like croutons or cheese, bu go for it if that's your thing.
Adapted from Chatelaine. This is an awesome summer dinner for two after you've been out gardening - it really makes you appreciate what the garden can bring to your table! It's cheap, too, if your garden is as plentiful as most are in the summer months!

Rice-flour pancakes my Auntie Janice would make for us when we visited her and my uncle out in BC. A lot less trouble on the digestive system, if you need to worry about that (like herself, me and my dad!)
For the cheese lover in all of us, made with a melty blend of Cheddar and Swiss
A spicy yellow fish curry that's great served over jasmine or basmati rice. Coconut and tomatoes make a delicious velvety sauce.
1/2 the recipe is hearty, healthy and delicious meal for 4 when served on some grainy rolls with a salad. It has a similar flavour to baked beans, cooks quicker, and is a winner with veggies and omnis alike! If starting with canned, pre-cooked lentils, you will need approximately 6 cups of them, reserve 1 cup of the canning liquid and proceed with the recipe! If you don't like lentils (I go through phases myself) 6 cups of cooked black-eyed peas are great in this dish as well! I like ED Smith's sugar-free syrup for this, but use your favourite or the real thing if you have no sugar issues.
