Bruschetta is a super easy option when you want to make a really tasty, casual appetizer. I love the classic version with fresh tomatoes, basil and maybe a bit of garlic, but it’s nice to find new variations and switch it up a bit. There are so many amazing veggies that you can use as toppings. For example, check out our zucchini toast appetizer. But I absolutely love asparagus too, so here I decided to share my green asparagus bruschetta, which is just as easy to make. Bruschetta is also great for brunch or as a light lunch. Or if you have a large party, you might want to make…

Zesty Brussel sprouts salad
We started off 2020 trying to eat a little more green. I don’t see us going completely vegan any time in the near future, but we would like to live just a little more plant based, if not only for the planet, then also for our general overall health and well-being. And if we lose a couple of pounds in the process, that’s okay too. We already like almost any vegetable, and generally keep to a fairly green diet, but it was an interesting challenge to make dishes that complete leave out meat, and where in fact you don’t really miss meat, even if you are an ardent carnivore.

I find that carrots are extremely versatile. With their elegantly sweet nature, they offer such and abundance of great taste pairings.

Here, we’ve matched them up with some deliciously salty feta and black olives, and the fresh and fragrant mint simply just underscores that these are really cool carrots!

Moroccan (low-carb) lasagna
This Moroccan style low-carb lasagna recipe is a twist on ordinary lasagna. With three kids still living at home, we tend to make a lot of lasagna in my household. Therefore it’s nice to mix it up a bit and bring in new flavors to the Italian classic. So here, we’ve fired up the aromatic spices typically found in the kitchens of the northern part of Africa. Furthermore, we’ve experimented with substituting pasta sheets with zucchini, making this a healthier, more low-carb and less heavy lasagna. Add a good green salad, and you’ve got an amazingly tasty, good for you dinner that’s entirely pasta guilt free. Making this Moroccan (low-carb)…
