Add a gourmet touch to a suppertime staple (also a great go-to for entertaining).

Using whole-wheat, thin-crust pizza shells is a great way to sneak in fibre while controlling portion size. Try grilling on the barbecue to save time and avoid heating your home with the stove.

Two nostalgic dishes—beef stroganoff and pot pie—are shaking hands to create the ultimate comfort dinner. There’s just 15 minutes of prep here, leaving the rest of the work to your oven. But, before you start, carefully remove the pie shell from the plate—you’ll be using the plate as a cooking vessel and topping the savoury goodness of this dish with the shell.

Known as a “super seed,” quinoa contains about 50% more protein than other common grains: 8 g per 1 cup. It’s gluten free, high in calcium and iron, and a good source of vitamin B.

Gluten-free millet is a tiny, round ancient grain with a mildly sweet and nutty flavour; it’s available in white, gray, yellow, and red varieties. Add it to muffin, pancake, waffle, and cookie batters for a flavourful crunch.

These tender, scone-like cookies are made with cream and studded with sweet strawberries for a portable version of a classic dessert. This recipe would also work beautifully with other favourite berries, such as raspberries, blueberries, even dark, delicious blackberries.
