Zack's Healthy Pancakes
This recipe makes crêpelike pancakes. To make fluffy pancakes instead, add 1 tsp (5 mL) baking powder to the dry ingredients and form four smaller pancakes per batch. You may also wish to replace the 1% milk with plain, unsweetened yogurt or almond milk.
1/3 cup (80 mL) quinoa flour 2/3 cup (160 mL) whole wheat flour 1 overripe banana, mashed 2 eggs 1 cup (250 mL) 1% milk 3/4 cup (180 mL) fresh or frozen strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries, chopped or crushed 1 tsp (5 mL) grapeseed oil Maple syrup, to serve
In large bowl, combine flours. In medium bowl, mash banana well and whisk in eggs and milk. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Gently stir in berries.
Grease 8 in (20 cm) skillet with oil and heat over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup (60 mL) batter to pan and swirl to coat. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until crêpe releases from bottom of pan. It should not be golden like a pancake. Flip and cook for 2 to 3 more minutes. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve with maple syrup.

Lentil Shepherd’s Pie
This vegan take on classic shepherd’s pie is jam-packed with bold and rich flavours that will ensure no one will miss the meat. While a great source of fibre, lentils also contain the highest amount of folate out of all plant-based foods. Oven ready If you don’t have an ovenproof skillet, you’ll need to transfer cooked lentil filling to a baking dish before topping with mashed sweet potatoes and baking.
Roasted Cauliflower with Pecan Date Crumble
Cauliflower has been having a moment lately, and this salad proves exactly why. Tender caramelized cauliflower is crowned in a glorious sweet and savoury crumble that will ensure it a place on your table all month long. Of all tree nuts, pecans have the highest concentration of flavonoids, which offer beneficial anti-inflammatory effects, and they also protect your cells from oxidative damage. Crumble perfection This crumble topping is too good not to use it on other preparations. Sprinkle over a carrot ribbon salad to add some extra pizzazz, use as a glorious garnish on a soup or stew, or consider generously spooning over your next vegetable “steak” to add some delicious textural variation.
Creamy White Bean Pasta
This gloriously comforting dish gets its creamy lusciousness from a can of white beans. Feel free to use whatever vegetables you have on hand instead of broccoli. Pass the pasta Instead of regular pasta, consider serving this sauce over zucchini noodles, carrot noodles, or cooked spaghetti squash.
Vegan Queso Dip
This nut-free take on classic queso dip is everything you want and more. Paired with chips, crackers, or crudités, this creamy, zesty, smoky, and oh-so-satisfying dip is easy enough to whip up for a cozy snack or as an appetizer for company. Go nuts! If you’re okay to eat nuts, try substituting sunflower seeds with 1 cup (250 mL) raw cashews.
