I usually serve these bread sticks as a side to complement a meal. If you have bread machine you could prepare pizza dough that way. If not you can buy dough at the grocery store.
Serve the hoisin dip in a small bowl alongside the meatballs. Or, if you prefer, toss the meatballs in the dip before serving. Sambal oelek is an Asian condiment, available in many supermarkets and specialty stores.
The sweetness of mango offsets the spiciness of jerk seasoning and wraps up everyday chicken salad with an appealing new look and taste.
Juicy red currants have a perky berry flavour that is often used only for jellies. Can you believe that some people find the seeds too crunchy for a pie? Slivered almonds provide perfect camouflage, making this a must-try recipe for fruit pie fans.
The acidity in this salsa keeps the avocado from browning, so be sure to toss it thoroughly to cover every piece. Canned tomatillos are often found in the international aisle or near the salsa in the grocery store. Pair this topping with turkey or bratwurst sausages and serve on French rolls or kaisers.
Grill up kabobs as a side dish for a vegetarian meal (such as chickpea burgers) or to serve with grilled meat or fish. Use either basil pesto or sun-dried tomato pesto. No pesto? Add 1/4 cup (50 mL) minced fresh basil (or 1 tsp/5 mL dried) to the butter.
When buying spinach, look for leaves that are dry, bright and firm. Visit your local farmer's market for veggies that are unparalleled in freshness and flavour.
