Carrot Lentil Soup

Carrot Lentil Soup

Jul 14, 2005

Lentils are very high in folate and fibre and are a good source of vegetable protein. Serve with a whole grain baguette and a salad of half spinach and half romaine tossed with Lemon Pesto Buttermilk Dressing. Buttermilk sounds as though it should be high in fat but, in fact, has only 1% milk fat and delivers as much calcium as milk. Any leftover soup makes a tasty lunch the next day.

Soy-Glazed Chicken Hot Pot

Soy-Glazed Chicken Hot Pot

Jul 14, 2005

Keeping the bone in the chicken makes it moist and flavourful and takes advantage of lower-priced bone-in thighs. Using sodium-reduced chicken stock and soy sauce reduces the sodium level by more than half. Serve over a bed of whole grain rice, along with Bok Choy with Sesame Oil. Bok choy is an excellent source of folate and vitamins A and C and a source of calcium, magnesium, iron and potassium.

Honey Walnut Red Fife Wheat Loaf

Honey Walnut Red Fife Wheat Loaf

Red Fife wheat is a heritage grain, often used in breads, that is regaining popularity across the country. Here, it is combined with walnuts and local honey in a sweet quick bread that goes well with aged cheeses. Look for Red Fife flour in specialty or organic food stores. If you can't find it, just substitute an equal amount of stone-ground whole wheat or all-purpose flour – either works well. 

Mixed-Grain Swiss Country Loaf

Mixed-Grain Swiss Country Loaf

Sep 6, 2011

In Switzerland, mixed grain breads are usually half white flour with differing amounts of rye, whole wheat and spelt. The loaves have rich flavour and a texture halfway between the lighter, airier loaves of France and Italy and the heavier, dense loaves of German bakers. This bread uses levain, a French sourdough starter, and requires two separate overnight risings. It's worth the time. To prevent the dough from taking on any odours when rising, you can place the covered bowl in a plastic bag.

Bagel Mania

Bagel Mania

Jul 14, 2005

Bagel fans make a ritual of picking up freshly baked bagels at their favourite bakery. Even if you don't live near a bakery specializing in bagels, you can enjoy these tasty rings of bread if you bake them yourself. Just follow our simple step-by-step cooking lesson. The satisfying chewy texture of bagels makes them an ideal choice for breakfast on the run, a quick lunch or snack any time of the day. They're delicious with sandwich fillings — great for perking up a lunch box. Teamed with cream cheese and smoked salmon, they make a casual brunch. If you prefer whole grains, you'll enjoy the whole wheat and rye variations of our simple bagel recipe. Cinnamon raisin bagels make a wonderful breakfast treat and the cheese or herb bagels taste terrific any time.

Lightened-Up Hummus

Lightened-Up Hummus

May 16, 2006

Authentic hummus recipes include lots of tahini and olive oil and, although those are healthy ingredients, they are still high in fat and dense in calories. Here, tahini (a sesame seed paste) is replaced with a much smaller amount of sesame oil and a drizzle of olive oil. A typical 2 tbsp (25 mL) serving of hummus has about 89 calories and 5.8 grams of fat, but this one, lightened up with calcium-rich yogurt, has only 52 calories and 2 grams of fat. Pack this dip with vegetable sticks and whole grain pita wedges for a quick and wholesome lunch.

Baked Manitoba Harvest Ratatouille

Baked Manitoba Harvest Ratatouille

May 12, 2009

This dish is inspired by the wonderful fresh produce from the Osbourne Village Farmer's Market which is across the street from my house in Winnipeg. The market is open Thursday nights from June to September and features only very local farmers, including some urban farmers. Each week my son and I would go to the market and buy one of each item available. Towards the middle of the summer I ended up with many varieties of peppers, summer squash, eggplant, tomatoes and herbs, so I developed this recipe to celebrate the Manitoba Harvest. All of these ingredients, with the exception of quinoa, are grown in Manitoba. Quinoa is an excellent source of iron and magnesium as well as one of the best vegetable sources of protein. Serve this dish with a slice of whole grain bread to complete the protein.

A mix of baking powder, baking soda and buttermilk makes this bread rise. Bonus: It doesn't require any time-consuming kneading.

Hearty Turkey Pot Pies

Hearty Turkey Pot Pies

Dec 1, 2015

A peppery cream sauce speckled with fragrant thyme makes these individual pot pies the ultimate weeknight comfort food. Look for a packaged whole grain blend that cooks in 15 minutes or less to ensure the grains become tender while you're baking the pies.
