Carrot Cake Granola Bites by Cookin' Canuck

I have a condition. It’s called “raid the basket-itis”. It’s not lethal, except to the waistband of my jeans.

5-Ingredient Asparagus Recipe with Curry Sauce

Mar 18, 2013

I ate five cups of broccoli the other day. Five cups! By noon, I hit my daily fiber requirements, and I’m pretty sure that my skin turned a light shade of green. As crazy as it may seem, I just couldn’t leave this steamed broccoli alone. It was that good and didn’t even meet the [...]

Roasted Sweet Potatoes Recipe with Chinese Five-Spice Powder

Nov 30, 2012

Roasted sweet potatoes take mere minutes to prep. Just toss them with olive oil, salt and Chinese 5-spice powder before sliding them into the oven. If there was a Superfriends Hall of Justice for food, sweet potatoes would be the Superman or Wonder Woman of the group. Or put two of them together and they [...]
