This crustless quiche is a great brunch recipe. You can put whatever vegetables you like in it, prepare it in advance, and have a great hot dish to serve at your brunch that doesn’t take a lot of work. Even better, this crustless quiche is super healthy and has only 5 ingredients (not including the salt and pepper).

My husband and I are finding that we're getting bored of our weeknight meal rotation—we seem to have four or five recipes that we stick to on those nights when we don't feel like making anything fancy. Our go-tos lately have been breakfast dinners, DIY Kung Pao Chicken, Peanut Thai Chicken Thighs, homemade hamburgers, this delicious pasta bake, and leftover homemade soups. These are all amazing and will remain our go-tos, but I thought I'd try something new—something to add to the rotation. I've always loved the idea of having stuffed peppers, but haven't tried making them. Until now. They were a hit with my whole family, including my seven-month-old! These stuffed peppers were so delicious and took me no time at all to throw together. Best of all, there are only five ingredients! We paired them with baked acorn squash, and that's all we needed!

One of the fun things about recipe creation is making delicious dishes out of unexpected ingredients. It’s fun to make cookies with beans or pumpkin loaf with lentils, and it’s cool to make ice cream out of bananas and pudding out of avocados. Sometimes I feel like a mad scientist in my kitchen—whipping up a delectable dessert and then forcing it on my friends and family, with a rabid look in my eye as I say, "You’ll never GUESS the secret ingredient!"
This has only backfired once, and I have only to say the words cauliflower pudding to make two of my best friends cringe.
The word "tofu" does not conjure up images of luscious desserts, does it? But this chocolate mousse pie is an unbelievably simple, yet positively scrumptious dessert, and the secret ingredient is a humble block of tofu. It tastes decadent without actually being so. Most mousse recipes rely on eggs and heavy cream and are a bit complicated, but this one requires only five ingredients and ten minutes to throw together. If you were so inclined, you could skip the crust and serve the mousse as-is, but the combination of the coconut oil and cookie crumbs is quite lovely. Give it a try, and I guarantee you’ll never look at tofu the same way again!

When Erica Ehm messaged me to say my Breakfast Muffins recipe had over 11,000 shares on Twitter, Facebook and Pinterest I knew it was time to share my Pizza Muffins recipe with you.
This recipe uses the same basic assembly as the Breakfast Muffins except they take even less time to make because you don't have to fry up any bacon or eggs.

Have I got a nice, cleansing recipe for you! Kale, everyone’s favourite cruciferous superfood, is even more fabulous when eaten in chip form. Everything is more fun in chip form, am I right? These kale chips are so addictive you will find yourself alone in the kitchen, scarfing down the entire batch, and that’s perfectly okay. I just ate an entire head of dehydrated kale has a much different ring to it than I just ate an entire Costco-sized bag of salt and vinegar potato chips.
Kale is simply amazing for your body; it’s full of Vitamins A, C, and K, as well as phytochemicals and antioxidants. Phytochemicals! Antioxidants! Eating kale is practically like going for a run. Or something. Plus, these kale chips are wonderfully tasty and will satisfy your savoury cravings without the regrets that come from rummaging through the treat bags to find all the fun-sized potato chips. Not that I would know this, personally.
Below are two ways to prepare kale chips. For the longest time I was a die-hard strictly tahini-and-lemon girl, but lately I’ve been experimenting with different flavour combinations. I can’t decide which I prefer, so you get both recipes today. Phytochemicals AND two-for-one kale chip recipes? It’s your lucky day!

If you're like me, you're busy, which means you're constantly on the look-out for quick, easy, make-ahead recipes that your family will actually eat. I like this meatloaf recipe because it is all of that and freezes well too.
I have prepared this meatloaf, thrown it in a pan and left it covered in the fridge all day then baked it when I got home. I've also made it the night before and then sliced and re-heated in the microwave. Either way it always tastes great.
I usually serve this with mashed potatoes and steemed vegetables but it also makes FABULOUS meatloaf sandwiches if you slice thinly and put on crusty white buns (topped with cheese of course!).
As an extra bonus, this is also one of my kids' favourite school lunches. Which as you know, when you can put leftovers in school lunch boxes it's a win-win for everyone.

Making a ham in the slow cooker is the epitome of “set it and forget it” but most people still assume you spent all day slaving over a hot stove whenever you put any kind of roast on the dinner table. But as with all of my company-worthy Canned Soup Mom Recipes the simplicity of this Slow Cooker Balsamic Maple Glazed Ham Recipe will be our little secret!

You know when you've been married long enough to someone that you know exactly what he's going to order at a restaurant with a quick scan of the menu? Well my husband and I have been married for ten years and I can pretty much guarantee you that I can choose each one of his restaurant meals with perfection within a 30-second glance of any restaurant menu.
One of hubby's regular restaurant favourites is beef dip and for the last ten years I've left it at that — a restaurant favourite. I mean, who wants to spend all that time cooking a roast only to shred it into pieces and throw it on a bun? Not me. Until now because this Slow Cooker Beef Dip Recipe is so easy you can make it any day of the week.

This spin on a traditional roast chicken uses apple flavoured tea to infuse the chicken from inside, and sweet caramelized honey to enhance it from without. A delectable twist on an ancient tradition that will have your guests singing your praises these High Holidays.
