These are easy, healthy and make for great leftovers. What else could you ask for? If being vegan is not your thing feel free to add some spicy chorizo to the filling and melt some cheese on top. My mouth is watering.

I find the biggest struggle with maintaining a plant-based diet is missing my daily cheese intake. I’ve tried some store bought substitutes (like Daiya) but they just don’t cut it. I amped up some cashew cheese with a ton of basil and it turned out pretty delicious.

Making lasagna is a labour of love. It’s time consuming but the end result is well worth it. Plus this feeds a small crowd! This recipe will yield extra meat sauce, which you will be able to freeze and serve over pasta for a quick weeknight meal whenever you are running low on time. I tried to sneak in some extra vegetables in this recipe to make up for the overload of cheese… as if it makes a difference.

These are crispy, sweet, spicy and creamy. Taco’ bout delicious! How can you go wrong? Make these gluten free by substituting corn tortillas, GF flour and GF breadcrumbs. They can also easily be made dairy free by cutting out the Greek yogurt and doubling the mayonnaise.

I’m taking classic mac and cheese up a notch by adding crispy bacon and some broccoli florets. This is such a good make ahead meal. You can easily double this recipe (highly recommend it) and have one for dinner and a separate casserole for the freezer.

This is a classic comfort food turned extra healthy. I baked these on Portobello mushrooms for an extra serving of vegetables. I used purple yams (but you could use regular yams) on top instead of the usual mashed potato topping, and omitted the dairy altogether. These are hearty and a great meal for a cold fall evening and are also gluten free.

This is a great weeknight meal that can be on the table in 15 minutes! It packs some serious flavour and heat. I recommend to eat this over some rice or to get a nice crusty loaf of bread to soak up the extra sauce. Simple, healthy and delicious!

Here’s another healthy recipe to add to your rotation. This reminds me of a Vietnamese noodle bowl but with more freshness from the extra vegetables. Omit the beef to make it vegetarian or substitute prawns, chicken or tofu.

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.

I made this recipe with the Super Bowl in mind. What screams Super Bowl more than chilli? Throw some cheese and tater tots on top and I’m in heaven.

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.

This recipe is a healthier version of a delicious braised short rib on creamy mashed potatoes. 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.

Zucchini noodles (zoodles) are the tits. The only downfall is that they release a lot of moisture during the cooking process so you want to cook them as quickly as possible!

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.
