We are shaking things up in November's virtual cooking class. Plan a date night with your partner or a family night. Join me as we make a Paprika Honey Salmon served with Lima Sour Cream over Tangy Bulgur.

Chickpeas are part of the legume family and are a great way to add more protein and fibre to your meals. You can serve some over salad, make falafel with them or simply sprinkle them with seasonings and bake in the oven for a crunchy snack. Yesterday we made #hummus, a middle eastern dip that can be enjoyed as a snack or an appetizer. Served with warm pita or veggie stick, hummus makes for a great filling #snack. ... #dietitian #nutrition #nutritioncounselling #cooking #virtualcookingclass #food #foodie #hearthealth #eatwell #eating #eat #eatlivewell #diabetes #cook #cooking #cookingclass #healthyeating #wellness #mentalhealth #mentalwellbeing #canada #health
