Looking for a delicious recipe to help you include more plant-based protein? These Red Thai Curry-style Butter Beans are one of my favourites! Not only is this recipe delicious, but its also jam-packed with nutrition. Beans are an excellent source of fibre to help digestion and keep you feeling full for longer. They also pack a plant-based protein punch and an array of micronutrients, including iron, potassium, magnesium, and folate, all of which contribute to overall well-being.
Going to a Super Bowl party and looking for a crowd pleasing recipe to bring? One of my favourite game day snacks is a spicy, creamy Buffalo Chicken Dip.

Protein is key to helping you feel full for longer, especially when paired with fibre (whole grain crackers and fresh veggies). I also love to make this for a quick and satisfying lunch for during the week.
On hot summer days, the last thing I want to do is turn on my stove. One of my favourite summertime meals is a crisp and refreshing sandwich that requires little prep and no stove.

This sandwich uses leftover rotisserie chicken as the protein source - one of my summertime staples for quick, nutritious and delicious meals. Loaded with your favourite veggies, this sandwich can be customized to your preferences and enjoyed year-round!
