Quinoa is one of my favorite superfoods. It’s got protein, fiber, and loads of vitamins and minerals — plus it’s tasty. One of my favorite ways to celebrate quinoa is with this super simple salad.

Portobello Mushroom Cap Bruschetta
Great as an appetizer or a light main meal, this Portobello Mushroom Cap Bruschetta recipe is healthy and easy to make.
Lighter & Healthier Pumpkin Bread
This pumpkin bread is made with whipped egg whites and greek yogurt, making it lighter — in texture, taste, and calories — than most recipes out there. It’s not too sweet so, while you could enjoy it on its own as a breakfast treat or a healthy dessert, it also pairs nicely with a fresh salad.

This curd recipe works well with any citrus fruit — lemons, limes, grapefruits. Plus it makes enough to fill a whole 9-inch tart, six 6-inch tartlets (see my Perfect Pastry recipe), or you can simply jar it and store it in the fridge for later. The balance of the sour-sweet-buttery flavors of this simple citrus curd can lend itself nicely to both sweet and savory dishes (or, hey, just spread it on some toast).
