Now that the sun is shining, it’s great to get out and grill! Traditional bbq food can be less than stellar nutritionally, but here’s a recipe for turkey burger you can make yourself - meaning you are now more in control of what you put in to your body. Serve with Curried Sweet Potato Rounds and grilled veggies.

This recipe has become a staple in our household - especially in the colder months when beets are abundant. If your beets don’t come with their greens, substitute a bunch of kale, swiss chard, or spinach.

I made this for the Sept ‘07 potluck with all the great vegetables from my food share from the Owen Sound market. Simple, no skill required! I put the leftovers in a pot, added a bit of water, and pureed with a handblender for instant soup. Also a quite tasty meal!

All this talk of fish is making me hungry. Eat it for its excellent health benefits; just be careful of the kind and source you choose. Wild salmon is a good choice – not too big to have built up toxins but full of omega 3 fats.
