Rich and Creamy Swiss-style Muesli
Beat the summer heat with the traditional Swiss-style muesli! The creamy texture and refreshing aftertaste makes you wonder if this is a breakfast cereal or an elegant dessert. I like my museli with berries, but feel free to add your favourite dried fruits for extra flavour.

Roasted Tomato Eggplant Melts
I savor this every time I have ripe tomatoes and eggplant which seems to happen almost every week starting in July. Its a perfect side dish or works as a light dinner on its own. The recipe is inspired by our community garden newsletter where gardeners are always looking for creative ways to use our produce. Be sure to use thin skinned eggplant which is more edible than its thicker skinned, more oblong cousin.
Green and Wax Bean Salad With Tomato Vinaigrette
This recipe calls for using past-their-prime tomatoes to make a vinaigrette by halving them across their equators, scooping out the seeds and grating the flesh on the large holes of a box grater. Seasoned with salt, vinegar and olive oil, it makes an flavorful dressing. Here, it's tossed with green and wax beans, sliced kalamata olives and torn basil leaves for a summer salad that's delicious cold or at room temperature. The vinaigrette can also be used as a crostini topping with white anchovies and fried capers, or in the base of an agrodolce to serve with fish or chicken.
Heirloom Tomato Bruschetta with Homemade Ricotta
A perfect Italian summer dish that takes advantage of the full flavors of summer vine ripe tomatoes.
Flans with Muscovado Sauce
These are almost too easy! Forget about caramelizing sugar for the molds. Just press some flavorful raw sugar into the bottom of each dish, and pour the flan mixture on top. The sugar dissolves into a sauce when the flans are chilled. Adapted from Sinfully Easy Delicious Desserts by Alice Medrich (Artisan, 2012)

Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Sugar-Free Peanut Butter Banana Muffins
This is simple muffin recipe takes only a few easy-to-find ingredients . Even though this recipes calls for no flour, it tastes just like a regular muffin. The secret is the magical combination of eggs and bananas. The sweetness in the recipe comes from the bananas; however, it is very subtle. If you prefer something sweeter, try adding a dash of maple syrup in the batter.
Groovy Chocolate Cherry Coconut Bars
A couple of times a week, I manage to eat every last granola bar/energy bar in my office after my workout. My favorites are the Cherry Pie LARABARs and these groovy chocolate-coconut energy snacks my labmate gets at her local co-op (FYI, we share the stash and replenish as we gobble. I'm not the jerk who secretly eats everyone's lunches). Here, I have combined the two into a yummy homemade snack to share! They are a nice snack before or after a workout and keep well in the freezer and refrigerator. They are also a nice way to ease yourself off of all the sweets you've consumed over the holidays, while also getting a little fiber back into your system :)
Honey Balsamic Sauce
Save your pricey fine balsamic vinegar for another day. Here is a grand and recession-proof honey balsamic sauce recipe for strawberries and ice cream.
Quick Fresh Tomatillo Salsa
Tomatillos, which are closer botanically to the gooseberry than to the tomato, have a wonderful acidic tang. To get the best out of them they should be simmered or grilled for about 10 minutes, until they’re soft and the color has gone from pale green to olive. You can use them for a quick, blended salsa (like the one in this recipe) and also for a cooked salsa, which has a rounder, seared flavor. Use on tacos, or as chip or vegetable dip, or alongside grilled chicken or pork.
Green Onion Pancakes
The one (and only) problem with making homemade dumplings is you invariably end up with way more dough than pork filling. This is what three generations of my family have always done with the leftover dough. These crispy, hearty, but simple pancakes are the perfect complement to the boiled dumplings they play second fiddle to, but they also do nicely on their own alongside some wok-tossed veggies and tofu.
CSA Inspired Potato Pancakes
Had a bunch of random items left in my csa box toward the end of the week and this just happens to be what I came up with. They were super delicious and served with a side of mixed greens and arugula. I will say this did not satiate my hunger in a big way nor did I feel it was very nutrient dense but a really tasty none the less!
Raw Peach Crumbles
A non-fussy way to enjoy some ripe, juicy peaches without turning on your oven
Smashed Kale Salad
Guacamole re-incarnated as a salad. Creamy avocado hand-"smashed" into hearty kale leaves, topped with onion, cilantro and fresh-squeezed lime. Even the kale averse will crave this one.
