Roasting cauliflower elevates this vegetable to a whole new level! Some people even call it cauliflower "popcorn".

Overnight Chia Oatmeal

Created on Jul 19, 2012 by Olivia

Chia seed is considered as one of the new "superfoods". What I like the most about chia is that it forms a gel when soaked, adding texture to foods such as yogurt, smoothies and pudding. This recipe is perfect for the summer because you do not have to cook your oatmeal and you get to enjoy the goodness of oatmeal, Greek yogurt and chia seeds as one delish breakfast treat!

Zesty Arugula Salad with Parmesan Crisps

The sweetness of the mandarin oranges perfectly complements the peppery, pungent flavor of arugula . This side dish is inspired by my friends: Jessica & Jordana.

Orange Basil Chicken

Created on Aug 19, 2012 by Olivia

I had a jar of orange marmalade in my fridge and I wasn’t sure what to do with it – until I invented this simple dish. This dish is inspired by my boyfriend’s favorite menu item in a Thai restaurant in downtown Toronto.

Golden Puff

Created on Sep 5, 2012 by Sage

This is the best brunch recipe! I found this recipe way back in 1965 in a magazine and have been making it since. Everyone will wonder how you did it. It comes out of the oven golden and puffy; make sure people are at the table to admire it.
