Dinner

Do you prefer sweet or savoury meals? But why not both, together! A couple weeks ago, I contributed these Roasted Veggies with Balsamic & Feta to our Sunday family meal. They certainly were a huge hit! I was thrilled and as a result, immediately shared the photo on my Instagram. The response there was also amazing. […]

Happy National Pumpkin Day! So to celebrate, I will be sharing my Savoury Pumpkin Vegetarian Chili recipe, a one-pot, wholesome vegetarian meal. My earliest Halloween memories involve my mom whipping up a large batch of chili before my sisters and I went trick-or-treating. I must admit, chili was my LEAST favourite meal. I would plead, […]

Who does not love oven fries? I do (confession: like most dietitians) but I also love roasted veggies! Still unsure what a dietitian is? Click this link to learn more. But now back to fries! I thought why not combine these two ideas to make something delectable! Just in time for Thanksgiving, I’m excited to […]

Happy first day of Fall! Who doesn’t love fall flavours and oven meals? I certainly do. Today, I will be featuring this Sheet Pan Sweet Potatoes + Chicken! This is an awesome way of making meals simple. In other words, there’s only two steps: Put everything on one (or two) baking sheets and into the […]

Cooking doesn’t have to be difficult or time-consuming. After all, people are more likely to sustain lifestyle changes if these changes are enjoyable, realistic and appropriate considering your schedule. Therefore, today’s recipe is one of my favourite “lazy meals”. These Speedy Naan Pizzas are ready faster than take-out! Naan pizzas are also completely customizable based […]

I love a leisurely Saturday morning complete with a hot breakfast and a cup of coffee. However, breakfast foods do not have to be limited to the morning. For example, these Garlicky Breakfast lentils; they make a great dinner and heat up well for lunch leftovers. I certainly encourage my clients to think about breakfast […]

Are you keeping cool this summer? For many, the last thing we want to do in July is turn on the oven or stove!  Therefore, today’s Zesty Tabbouleh recipe is inspired by keeping your home cool but still enjoying a healthy meal. I have chosen a recipe using my favourite whole grain, bulgur, because it […]

I’m always on the hunt for new ways to enjoy salmon! It’s just so succulent and perfect for our summer season. For today’s recipe, I made Salmon with Walnut Parsley Gremolata. Gremolata is a chopped herb condiment traditionally made using garlic, oil and lemon zest. You can certainly add gremolata on top of any type […]

Are you an adventurous eater? I certainly am. I love to experience different flavours of foods from around the world! This week, a client asked if I could please post an Indian recipe, so I decided to do my own take on my all-time favourite Indian dish, Palak Paneer. For those who are unfamiliar, paneer […]

Patio weather is certainly upon us!  What better contribution to the BBQ than a fun and delicious salad!  This simple Strawberry and Swiss Salad is a sure-fire crowd pleaser. I love this mix because it combines the sweet from the Ontario local strawberries and the savoury from the Swiss cheese. Feel free to share your favourite summer salads! If you’re […]

Who says you can’t have Crunchy Potato Wedges with Parmesan as part of a healthy diet? Certainly not this dietitian! After all, potatoes are inherently healthy and unfairly get a bad reputation. For example, most do not realize a medium potato is loaded with 25% of your daily potassium. That’s about double that of a […]

In honour of Earth Day on April 22, I wanted to share this Simple Mushroom and Kale Risotto recipe to inspire readers to have a couple “go-to” recipes that can be modified to use up ingredients and also reduce food waste . If you have not tried meal planning yet, this is another powerful tool to use up ingredients before […]
