This is one of my weeknight go-to meals. It’s super simple, relatively healthy and makes great leftovers for lunch. I like to serve this with rice and roasted broccoli, drizzling the extra sauce from the salmon over top of both.

Harissa is an ingredient that I have seen popping up more and more lately. For those of you who like spice, this is a great addition to your hot sauce collection. It’s actually a paste that originated in Tunisia, and is made with hot chilis and other assorted spices and herbs. It’s used a lot as a marinade for meat and fish, and here I’ve stirred it into a traditional marinara sauce.

The secret to this recipe is time. When you first add in all of the liquid ingredients it seems like your are making a soup, but once it simmers for 2 hours all of the flavours combine to make a rich and hearty meat sauce. This also makes a great freezer meal. Freeze the meat sauce in individual portions (or enough for 2 people), for a quick & easy weeknight meal.

All of the elements are still there to make it taste fantastic, but I’ve reduced the amount of fats and calories by opting for leaner meat, adding in cauliflower to the classic mashed potatoes and swapping out cream for chicken stock.

TACOS! This is a great recipe for entertaining – double or triple it for an easy and delicious dinner party. I love to serve this with salsa verde because the fattiness of the pork is cut nicely with the acidity of the tomatillos.

With this classic dish, I decided to go the fancier route and use beef tenderloin as my cut of meat (because yum), and try to up my game a little by adding in some shiitake mushrooms and kale to the mix. I present to you, my "fancier" beef stroganoff.

This was originally going to be called a bacon, pesto, avocado, red onion and tomato sandwich but that’s a mouthful. So instead the pesto BOAT was created. Someone made the name BLT mainstream so this is dedicated to them.
