Whether you’re trying to get more plants into your diet or looking for a classic lentil recipe, my Basic French Lentils are a great place to start. Tasty, versatile, and super easy to make, they’re one of the great building blocks of a plant-based meal.
A few weeks back I posted the above pic to Instagram. This dish was my take on a Big Breakfast and was a hit at our place. I’ve already given you the deets on the salad and sweet potato components but I left my favorite ’till last. My Magnificent Marinated Portobello Mushrooms are delicious and dead easy to prepare. Did I mention they’re delicious? Oh my goodness you have to make them!
One of the things I love about home cooking is when an off-the-cuff dish turns into an absolute winner. Case in point: my Sensational Spinach Pea and Rocket Salad. Bursting with flavour, pretty to look at, and oh-so-easy to throw together this salad is a must at your next picnic, BBQ, or potluck.
My Chopped Salad with Lemon Chilli Dressing is bright, fresh, and simple with a bit of a kick. It makes the perfect BBQ side or picnic salad ’cause it always pleases a crowd. Uncomplicated super-star food, bring it on!
Introducing my Maple Roasted Brussels Sprouts! In my experience, Brussels sprouts often get a bad wrap. Check out any kids movie or book and you’ll be sure to find some child wincing at the sight of them or secretly trying to feed them to the dog. I mean, I was reading a book of short stories to the kid once and there was an entire story devoted to the avoidance of these little green gems. Truthfully, it was really funny but that’s besides the point. Brussels sprouts are not the enemy people! In fact, I’d like to think they’re the unsung hero of the veggie world… too far? 🙂
There are some things you just shouldn’t keep to yourself. Take my Sweet Potato Fries for example. Salty, sweet, and crunchy, they’re the perfect side for a variety of dishes – veggie or otherwise. Having said that, these delicious rods of sunshine don’t have to be regulated to a supporting character role. I’ve also been known to load them up with my favorite toppings for a scrumptious game night or movie marathon snack. So good!
