Black Bean & Farro Salad with Avocado & Lime Vinaigrette

There are so many reasons to love this salad: it can be made ahead; it is loaded with plant-based protein & fibre; it is a great way to use up leftovers…and, of course, it tastes amazing.

Pulled Pork Tenderloin

Pulled pork is an easy supper, especially if you do it in the slow cooker.

Easy Refried Beans

Quick, easy, and versatile, you can use these refried beans to fill a taco or burrito, as a dip, or even on a pizza.

Baked Curry Chicken Fingers

I love combining the best parts of recipes to make something new. In this case, I used the spice mixture from a buttermilk spiced chicken recipe in Carlsbad Cravings’ baked “fried” chicken.

Mashed Potato, Cheese & Bacon Tortilla

This leftover idea came to me the last time we made perogies and had a lot of extra potato-cheese filling. I thought I’d try using it to make a grilled sandwich of sorts, with bacon, but in a tortilla instead of bread.

Tofu Wrap with Lime & Cilantro

A pretty potent combination of onion and garlic, but it makes a great lunch or light dinner.
