You can take your ground turkey in so many flavor directions. It can transform into so many dishes, including meatballs, pasta, burgers, stuffed vegetables, and quick lettuce wraps. Whether to choose white or dark meat is a matter of personal taste. White meat comes from the breast and is the leanest of the bunch. This might be appealing if you’re trying to cut your intake of saturated fat. That said, dark meat means more richness and flavor....

For me, I need ingredients that transcend recipes. If an ingredient can transform itself from breakfast to dinner, or from a cocktail to dessert, it’s going to find a permanent place in my kitchen. Staple ingredients relieve the pressure on me to “make it happen” when figuring out what to make for dinner on any given night. This week’s recipes can go from being served with eggs in the morning, to saddling up alongside a starch and veg for dinner later that night....

They’re superb when freshly baked, but leftovers are good too. You can keep them in the fridge or freeze them. These scones are amazing. I gave one of them to my teenage daughter and she just couldn’t believe they were made with almond flour. “But they taste just like real ones!” she said, eyes wide open. Why yes, my dear. Almond flour baked goods are wonderful! Ingredients You’ll only need a few simple ingredients to make these delicious keto scones....

It’s simple. Just peeled shrimp, cooked just through in a sauce of cream and lemon juice, and tossed with herbs, angel hair pasta, and some freshly grated Parmesan cheese. My father was over when we were making it and kept looking up from his bowl saying, “oh, this is a good one.” I’ve been poking into the fridge all afternoon sneaking more tastes from the leftovers, a small bowl of just a couple bites reheated in the microwave....

Loaded onto soft toasted buns with a generous scoop of creamy avocado, this may well be the burger of your dreams! (Great for grilling on the BBQ) Chicken Burgers Chicken burgers have a bad reputation for being bland and dry, perhaps because of the very fact that they do appear on menus as the healthier option to gutsy beef burgers. Flavourless patties, underseasoned, overcooked, dry, jammed in a burger bun with equally unexciting burger toppings....

Four ingredient banana almond butter smoothie Two of the ingredients are in the name of the recipe, so I bet you are wondering what the other two ingredients could be, aren’t you? It’s easy. They are coconut milk (or your favorite nut milk) and cinnamon, and really, cinnamon is the secret weapon of this recipe. Something about cinnamon with banana and almond butter is just too good to resist. Even the little extra sprinkle of cinnamon right on top really adds the perfect finishing touch with a hint of savory sweetness when you take your very first sip....

One of my earliest recipes - first written around this time 4 years ago was for these banana oat cookies. They’re such a great way to use up those leftover spotty bananas. What’s more, they’re pretty healthy too - I’ve got no qualms about letting the kids eat them for breakfast (I’m counting the chocolate chips as being good for the soul!).

Our basil plants however, don’t seem to notice that their days are numbered. This is high season for them, and they’ve made quite the romper room of their garden beds. I’ve been dreaming about this basil hummus for weeks now. It sort of makes sense, doesn’t it? Like a cross between hummus and pesto. The basil and the pine nuts take the place of the tahini in the hummus. A little tomato paste adds a touch of sweetness and the Tabasco just a little zest....

This Bourbon BBQ Meatloaf takes advantage of all the modern meatloaf tips and tricks, and it completely delivers. The meatloaf is tender and juicy, sliced thick, and it also makes a great leftover sandwich the next day.
