Brussels Sprouts with Pancetta and Dates

I remember the first time I had Brussels sprouts. I was in grade nine and at a friend’s house. Her mom made me eat them, and I hated them. Oh, how I’ve changed. The Niagara Street Grill, way back when, taught me to love all veggies thanks to their amazing sides. This recipe is a great side mostly because of the maple syrup and balsamic vinegar that candy the sprouts. And now it’s one that I feed to the friends of my kids. I tell them, ‘If I make you eat your veggies, it means I love you and you are like family.

Curried Chicken With Pomegranate

Curry powder is the workhorse of the spice world: as a blend of many spices it does the work for us. The combination of the aromas of the curry combined with the crunch of the pomegranate seeds will have you coming back to this dish time after time.

Chocolate Chip Zucchini Loaf

There’s nothing like knowing there are vegetables in desserts that my kids love. When the kids first tested this they asked if it was banana bread. My little white lie was “Sort of.” After rave reviews, I laughed that they’d eaten vegetable dessert thanks to the zucchini. The teen response was in the vein of “You don’t need to pull those stunts anymore, Mom.” If you have picky eaters, know that the zucchini adds moisture, has very little flavour, and is practically invisible, as it’s grated. It’s so moist and delicious the word “zucchini” won’t even come up.

Roasted Tomato + Red Pepper Soup

It’s hard to beat the depth of flavour and sweetness you get from roasting tomatoes, but if it’s too hot to turn on the oven, a quick and simple sauté makes for a summer soup that is just as refreshing and delicious. Come winter, don’t shy away from using cans of San Marzanos or look for fire-roasted tomatoes for maximum flavour.

I was first introduced to za’atar and sumac by a guest chef during a cooking class when I owned dish, and she made a Middle Eastern fattoush. I’ve added these spices to my list of pantry essentials. Both are amazing with carrots.
