"This warm, bright, and flavorful salad is a wonderful weeknight option when you don't want to do a lot of fussing but are still craving a filling, protein-packed bowl. All you have to do is roast some chickpeas and sweet potatoes, and toss some greens in my easy lime dressing. This dressing lives up to its name, using just three ingredients and taking 3 minutes to prepare! The sweet potatoes and chickpeas are topped with spicy cayenne pepper to give the salad a bit of heat, which the lime and maple dressing balances with light sweetness.

I substituted coconut milk for heavy cream and doubled the pepper flakes. Cannellini beans are labelled as "White Kidney Beans" in my supermarket. Panko adds a nice crunch to the arugula. Great recipe!

This chili, featuring kidney beans and lentils, is loaded with protein and flavour.

"This Copycat Starbuck's Lemon Loaf is homemade and full of lemon flavor with a lemon glaze on top that makes it even better than Starbuck's!"

Watch the video of Melissa Clark making cauliflower shawarma with spicy tahini here.

This is a variation on a salad we tried at 3 Patapoufs patisserie in Hochelaga, recreated as best as we could at home. I like to add a grain such as farro. I've added edamame beans in a pinch when I was short of chickpeas.

This method makes some really tasty rice as well as black beans.

"A great maafé effortlessly balances sweet, savory, earthy and spicy. Maafé is often called West African peanut stew, but that’s an oversimplification. Across the region, there are many versions that feature peanuts as a base, and all are greatly nuanced: For example, there’s akitiwa in Togo, nkatenkwan in Ghana and miyan taushe across northern Nigeria. This highly adaptable stew can be made with any assortment of meat, poultry, seafood and seasonal vegetables you have on hand (see Tip), but this one goes all in on produce.
