Stuffed Chicken Pockets

You may be starting to see a trend in this book when it comes to what meats we choose to eat. We have all spent a great deal of time coming up with tasty and economical poultry dishes as our main meat dishes while incorporating the occasional splurge with beef and new ways to enjoy fish. Stuffing chicken breasts gives the chicken a ton of flavour and also springs us into our next two dishes by using the leftovers for Chicken Salad Bowls and Chicken Caesar Salad.

Glorious Green Beans

There’s a reason the Jolly Green Giant loves green beans; they are a powerhouse! Green beans are an excellent source of vitamin C, vitamin K and manganese. Plus green beans are a very good source of vitamin A (carotenoids including beta-carotene), dietary fiber, potassium, folate, and iron. Growing them is easy. You can plant in the garden or in pots and the yield is high. Kids love to pick the beans and eat them right off the plants!

Roasted Beet Trio

You can’t “Beet” this trio of recipes!

Beets are not only beautiful to look at, they are low in calories (contain only 45 kcal/100 g) and fat; but very rich in dietary fiber, vitamins and minerals. Our local farms are exploding with this delicious root veggie and with the best crops between June and October; they have a lengthy season to enjoy. By learning how to roast and clean the beets you are ready to try our Beet Hummus and save the greens for a quick side dish. And relax...the colour from beets always washes out!
