1. Creamy Carrot Farrotto: This Creamy Carrot Farrotto is deliciously divine!
Farrotto combines the classic technique of rice-based risotto with farro, a chewy, delicious type of whole-grain wheat. In this plant-based rendition, you’ll simmer the grains in a carrot-infused stock and top them with spears of roasted carrot. Just like making classic risotto, this one likes you to hover and stir. Buying farro can be confusing because it goes by many names. Semi-pearled farro is my top choice for this recipe, but other types will also work

2. Winter Squash, Pomegranate and Fennel Salad: We love this hearty winter salad! It’s filled with tender greens, golden roasted delicata squash, crisp fennel, spiced candied nuts, and sweet & sour pomegranate arils. It’s finished off with a tangy homemade apple cider vinaigrette that brings all the flavours to life.

4. Orange-Glazed Pork Tenderloin with Cranberry and Walnut Stuffing: Pork tenderloin is a delicious and economical cut of meat. It’s lean and, due to improved farming practices, you can now safely cook your pork to medium instead of well done, keeping the meat moist. To butterfly means to cut the pork down the center without cutting all the way through; then you can open and stuff the tenderloin. You can ask your butcher to do this if you prefer.

5. Healthy Carrot Cake: Most carrot cakes are full of oil, butter, eggs and regular sour cream. However this version greatly reduces the fat by using pineapple, extra carrots, low-fat yogurt and ripe banana to create the moist texture typical of carrot cake.
