Vegan option for creamy Swiss Chard

A little twist on a classic dish

I know it sounds weird, but it's awesome. We promise.

Sick of raw kale? Sautee it until it barely tastes like kale!

A little labour intensive, but a rich and cheesy way to take advantage of kale/chard/spinach. 

Massaging the kale in this hearty salad makes it more tender and mild.

Everyone asks me for this recipe. EVERYONE. I add 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar to give it some zing!

Pasta with Swiss Chard and bacon, can't go wrong with this one!

Barley prepared like risotto, with Swiss chard and cheese. Super fancy.

Roasting bring out the sweetness of fresh beets

Too many beets? These pickled beets (no dill involved!) store amazingly well, and are as sweet as candy!

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

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

This version of creamed spinach includes some tangy cream cheese, almost like a spinach dip!

Stephanie's all time favourite spinach dip with pumpernickel (I usually skip the water chestnuts and scallions, it's still AWESOME)

This recipe may not be low calorie, but you still get all those broccoli benefits!

Feeling ambitious? Why not try this classic French dish LOADED with vegetables and herbs? (Most of which you can get from us! :) )

Breaded eggplant, marinara sauce, and loads of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. How could you go wrong?!

Simple. Tasty. Super easy. Win.

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!)

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!

Fabulous fall side dish, with a smack of maple. 

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!)

Use the roasted spaghetti squash innards as a substitute for pasta, you will have zero regrets. For real. 

A filling, cheesy way to use cherry tomatoes. With an entire block of feta cheese, this recipe knows what's up.

Tiny stuffed tomatoes are both adorable and tasty. Who doesn't love finger food?

Layered pasta salad with tortellini, cherry tomatoes, broccoli, olives, and a creamy cheesy dressing. Perfect for a potluck or BBQ!

Green beans and cherry tomatoes combine with a delightful balsamic dressing in this summery side dish.

Spicy jalapeños, smooth cream cheese, and salty bacon make this the PERFECT appetizer

With their mild heat, poblanos shine in this Tex-Mex style dish

A classic Mexican recipe with poblano peppers and a creamy white sauce
