I love fries, but I cannot eat fried food as much anymore, in fact I haven’t anything fried since January! That doesn’t mean I cannot enjoy my fries, baked fries can be just as good! If you choose to fry that is perfectly fine and will be totally amazing, but if you are like me and have to avoid fried foods for health reasons, then these baked fries are the ones for you….
Vegetables
Carrot Tarator
Carrot tarator is delicious and healthy, it’s a carrot version of the cucumber tarator commonly known as tzatziki. I love this stuff! You can eat it alone with bread, or as a side with a barbecue dinner or anything you may think it goes well with. …
Veggie Chow Mein and Chicken Balls
This is the first time in a couple weeks that I cooked this much! It’s been two weeks since my gallbladder surgery and I am introducing regular foods into my diet, still very low fat and no meat yet, I didn’t get to enjoy my favourite chicken balls, but the rice and noodles were good enough to keep me satisfied! …
Bulgur and Parsley Salad
This is my sons favourite non lettuce type of salad, it’s nutritious and delicious! I make it every week, and it lasts a few days, great snack or lunch food! …
Bulgur and Lentil Salad
This is a light and tasty salad, perfect for a summers day picnic or lunch food! I don’t really measure when I make foods like this, I just throw stuff in a pot and cook it! Its really simple and you cannot go wrong with a recipe like this. …
Bok Choy with Whole Wheat Pasta
This has become one of my favourite dishes, its full of flavour and is easy to make. You can add a little more oil if you find it dry, I cannot have a lot so I use very little when cooking. …
Grilled Asparagus
Grilled asparagus is an easy, tasty and healthy side dish to any meal! I love the taste and texture of grilled asparagus, its crunchy yet tender and natually tastes so good. …
Green Beans Stew with Meat -Mashurka me Mish
Ever wonder what to do with your leftover roast beef, cooked stew meat, ground beef or lamb? I always add leftover cooked meat to stews or rice and make a whole new dish with it. You can always come up with a new meal with leftover meat. You can make this over the stove top, or bake it in the oven in a dutch pot or use a slow cooker. All methods work great, and I use all of them.

Turlu
My first post of the new year! Turlu is basically the Balkan version of Ratatouille. I have other versions of turlu posted on the blog, they are all different recipes, this one is vegetarian and is such a delicious and comforting dish…especially in this cold frigid weather! …
Orzo with Veggies
This is just one of those dishes that is easy to make and tastes great! I use frozen organic broccoli for this as the fresh broccoli is too expensive, $5 for one bunch! Sometimes its $3.99 but even that costs too much for one small bunch of broccoli, the frozen is convenient as well, I can use how much I want and when ever I need it. You can use fresh if you have it. Another good thing about using frozen broccoli is you can grate it, and it will be hidden, the kids will never know!…
