Vegan Massaman Curry is my absolute favourite Thai dish! I have simplified the recipe by using a store bought red curry paste (I prefer to use the one in a glass jar) combined with a tamarind paste which you can buy in an Indian or Asian supermarket. If you can find a tamarind paste or sauce in a jar, it would make the recipe even simpler. 

Quinoa Lentil Salad with Cumin; Lime/Apple Cider Vinegar Dressing Not only will your taste buds love all the different textures and flavours in this dish but your body will also appreciate the fibre and many nutrients such as folate, magnesium, phosphorus, copper, iron and protein just to name a few! It can be served as a salad, entrée or side dish.

Super Easy Sugar Free Protein Balls These little protein balls are an indispensable snack food in our house for adults and kids alike. They are naturally sweetened with goji berries (read article on the health benefits of this super food, Goji Berries: Another Ancient Super Food Full Of Antioxidants and Low On Calories).

Holiday Biscotti Holiday baking is incomplete without biscotti! I have been making biscotti for many years at Christmas time for my family and friends. It also makes a wonderful gift for giving. This one is my favourite recipe not only because it’s festive looking, but also how delicious and simple it is to make. You can use the same recipe for making almond biscotti or any other variations you like.

Raspberry Coconut Muffins These muffins are gluten free and refined sugar free. Although they require a lot of different ingredients due to being gluten-free, they are quite simple to make. No one will believe they are actually gluten-free.

Summer Squash and Fennel Soup This incredibly tasty gourmet soup is not only loaded with flavour but also with plant protein, fibre and essential vitamins and minerals. The protein comes from the split chickpeas (chana dal). The chick peas give it a creamy and silky texture without the heavy cream. It can be served as a first course or a larger portion as an entree.
