Greens Gratin
A little labour intensive, but a rich and cheesy way to take advantage of kale/chard/spinach.
Kale BLT Salad with Greek Yogurt Ranch
Massaging the kale in this hearty salad makes it more tender and mild.
Sensational Salsa
Everyone asks me for this recipe. EVERYONE. I add 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar to give it some zing!
Chard and Bacon Linguine
Pasta with Swiss Chard and bacon, can't go wrong with this one!
Cheesy Barley and Swiss Chard
Barley prepared like risotto, with Swiss chard and cheese. Super fancy.
Sweet Pickled Beets
Too many beets? These pickled beets (no dill involved!) store amazingly well, and are as sweet as candy!
Roasted Beet Crostini
This appetizer is a winner every time we make it! Even when we do it the lazy way with crostini crackers and store bought reduction
Habanero Gold Jelly
This fairly spicy jelly is AMAZING with goat cheese and crackers! The cheese balances out the heat so you won't be breathing fire

An interesting way to store carrots! This sweet fruity jam is fabulous on pancakes

A lower fat, very smooth version of creamed spinach makes a great side dish
Creamed Spinach with Cream Cheese
This version of creamed spinach includes some tangy cream cheese, almost like a spinach dip!

This recipe may not be low calorie, but you still get all those broccoli benefits!
Ratatouille
Feeling ambitious? Why not try this classic French dish LOADED with vegetables and herbs? (Most of which you can get from us! :) )
Eggplant Parmesan
Breaded eggplant, marinara sauce, and loads of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. How could you go wrong?!
Coconut Curried Cauliflower Soup
Coconut milk and curry paste make this soup deliciously Thai! (You blend in the cauliflower, you don't need to leave the florets whole like the pic!)
Bread and Butter Pickles
These sweet pickles (no dill here) are a staple in our house, they are fantastic on burgers, a charcuterie board, or just as a low calorie snack!
Butternut Squash Soup
This freezes really nicely, if you end up with any left over! (I skipped the shallots and used an immersion blender, and it still turned out GREAT!)
Spaghetti Squash
Use the roasted spaghetti squash innards as a substitute for pasta, you will have zero regrets. For real.
