Extra Crunchy Smoked Paprika Sweet Potato Fries
Making sweet potato fries to perfection is all about technique, otherwise they usually turn out pretty soggy. After much testing, I think these are made to perfection.

Pineapple Fried Rice
The combination of the savoury fried rice with the sweet and tangy pineapple is really outstanding. Make sure that when you are cutting the pineapple you use a cutting board with a moat so that you can capture any pineapple juices that run off.

Sides & Salads
Traditional Fried Rice
Fried rice is the best weeknight meal—easy, healthy and delicious! Fried rice is best made with COLD leftover rice, so make your rice the day before, or you can order extra rice the next time you get Chinese takeout and freeze it! You can use all kinds of vegetables, but I have kept it pretty simple. Just make sure all your veggies are chopped and ready because once you get cooking, it all needs to be added in sequence and pretty quickly.

Ginger Fried Rice with Garlic Bok Choy
Forbidden Black rice can be found at most health food or specialty stores. It is nutty and chewy when cooked. It is perfect for this gut loving stir fry. Black rice contains intense amounts of the antioxidant-anthocyanin. It is actually the highest source of grains that exist. Anthocyanin is very important when it comes to fighting inflammation specifically.

Basic Short Grain Rice
Rice is a great side dish to make, but it also a great starter for fried rice. If you are using it for fried rice, the rice is best if it is cold (from the fridge).

Herbed Quinoa and Lentil Bowl | Spinach | Avocado |Tomato | Broccoli
I love a good quinoa bowl for lunch. It is so satisfying and easy to make. You can add grill tofu steaks, leftover grilled chicken or hard boiled egg. I’m using Cider Flax Vinaigrette, but you can dress it with simply lemon and olive oil as well.
