This creamy herbed dip is perfect for a party. It can be halved or doubled, it's a cinch to whip up, and it tastes even better when made ahead and flavours have time to develop. For added drama, drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil just before serving.

Whole wheat flour and blueberries put a spin on the classic crispy cornmeal muffin. Light olive oil may seem like an unusual addition, but it's flavour-neutral and a source of good monounsaturated fat. Store whole wheat flour in an airtight container in a cool place for up to  three months or freeze for up to six months.

The tomato paste used in this recipe is a concentrated source of lycopene, with 28 mg per 1/4 cup (50 mL) compared with 3 mg in 1 raw tomato. It is also noteworthy that research indicates lycopene from cooked or processed tomatoes is more readily absorbed by the body, especially if cooked with olive oil.

For the best results, cook up your macaroni or pasta ahead of time. Drain and rinse and let cool. Drizzle enough olive oil to coat all the pasta. Cover and refrigerate for at least a couple hours or even better over night. This will help to prevent the pasta from absorbing the liquid. This dressing I also use in my potato salad.
