Here’s a pound-shedding vegetable dish that is elegant and delicious. You’ll love the savory broccoli baked with sweet, rich cherries and crunchy walnuts.

Try this with halibut or tuna. Add shredded broccoli stem to the slaw for some added crunch.
Like black tea, green tea is loaded with antioxidants that go after those rogue molecules that breakdown cartilage. I never thought of it as a culinary flavor but it almost tenderizes the halibut in this dish. To spice up this recipe add some chili flakes to your poaching liquid. You can also use salmon instead of halibut or try marinating tofu in the green tea.
Try putting the zest of a lemon or orange into the frozen yogurt for a citrusy touch or use another tea like chamomile or mint.
Serve this super easy salad with a scoop of tuna or chicken salad. Make a pasta salad with the same ingredients by mixing in a cup of whole wheat low-carb macaroni or penne.

I fell in love with risotto on my first trip to my ancestral homeland, and I love this version every bit as much as my first luscious bite.

Light and fluffy, but with the rich honeyed tones of sweet potatoes and maple, this is a blood-sugar-balancing pie that everyone will enjoy. Whole grain crusts tend to be a bit heartier than the light flaky crusts made of refined flour, but people who eat whole grains regularly have half the rate of diabetes, so it is worth it to give these crusts a try. The sweet potatoes reduce insulin resistance as well, so dig in!
