After the description, you’ll find all the ingredients, measurements, and instructions for each recipe. One of my favorite recipes is the Roasted Chickpeas. The spices I add give them an incredible flavor, and I make this dish regularly. I try to incorporate legumes into my diet every day, alongside various vegetables, carbohydrates, fruits, healthy fats, and fiber from legumes. I eat legumes every day. These meals greatly contribute to my overall health, improving my mood, energy levels, and mental well-being, which enhances my exercise routine and keeps my skin feeling its best.
When it comes to nighttime snacking, I prefer healthier options over junk food. To be honest, I rarely crave junk food. When I do snack at night (which isn't often), I opt for almonds, sourdough bread, fruits, or dried fruit. These snacks keep my stomach feeling light and contribute to a better night's sleep. If I find myself unable to sleep or not very hungry, I drink chamomile tea. I drink chamomile tea very often around 9 or 10pm before sleep because my medication is an upper, so it keeps me up longer at night. So I need to drink this tea. I use the Twinings brand because it is pure chamomile and offers the full benefits.
The meals from my Recipe Website that I incorporate into my daily routine include Air Fryer French Fries and Roasted Chickpeas. On the other days, I focus on beans, whole grains, and a variety of colorful vegetables, including cruciferous vegetables (like Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage) and leafy greens (such as kale, spinach, romaine, rapini, endive, or dandelion). For instance, I often prepare chickpeas by draining and marinating them with paprika, cayenne, white vinegar, and salt, then air-frying them for 15 minutes at 390°F. Alternatively, you can bake them in the oven at 400°F. This roasted chickpea recipe remains my favorite from all the dishes I have featured on DimyRecipes.ca. I also often prepare, "Air Fryer French Fries". Ingredients I use is 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into French fry stick. I like to Yukon Gold Potatoes, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, salt to taste, 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper. I mix the potatoes and all the ingredients into a large bowl, place parchment paper into the air fryer, then I add my marinated potatoes, put the air fryer on 380F/190C for 3 minutes. Place the potatoes inside for about 10 minutes, shake the tray, so french fries can flip over then I put it another 5-10 minutes. Then they are done. If you want the french fries more crispier, soak the potatoes, cut like fry shape and drain in for 30 minutes in 1 tablespoon of baking soda with cold water first then begin your recipe, as I mentioned above.
The recipes on my website are designed to be both tasty and healthy. They don't require much time to prepare and are generally easy to make. While some recipes may involve more ingredients, most are simple and fun to prepare. Additionally, they are budget-friendly. Leftover veggies, herbs, and ingredients can be repurposed in other recipes like salads, soups, detox drinks, stews, meats, and grains.
On my website, I also teach how to make sauces (such as vegan mayonnaise), seasonings, vegetable/fruit recipes, and breakfasts. The collection includes cultural recipes like Moroccan Seasoning, Greek Salad, and Vegan Mexican Cajun Bean and Potato Stew. There are 2 to 3 dessert recipes, both vegan and non-vegan. My descriptions cover how to incorporate different flavors using veggies, spices, sauces, textures, herbs, broths, and oils, along with tips for budget-friendly substitutions.
In the instructions and method, I provide options to adjust salt, pepper, seasonings, or herbs to suit your taste. If you're new to cooking, these adjustments will help you tailor the recipes to your preferences after trying them the first time. My recipe introductions explain why you might enjoy a particular dish, whether you want a filling comfort food, a vegan option, a detox soup, or a budget-friendly recipe with fewer ingredients.
I also provide details on prep time, cook time, and total time before the ingredients list and instructions. At the end of each recipe, I include Nutrition Information, covering serving size, calories, protein, fat, carbohydrates, fiber, sugar, vitamins, cholesterol, sodium, minerals, and iron. I also offer storage tips and demonstrate the use of kitchen equipment in my videos, including mixing bowls, air fryers, mandolin slicers, immersion blenders, measuring cups, and mason jars.
Thanks for reading this blog. I worked hard to incorporate these kitchen tools and techniques into the videos to provide a comprehensive visual guide. I hope you enjoy exploring the recipes on DimyRecipes.ca!
