Recipes for Canadians, by Canadians

Everyone wants healthy, delicious, home-cooked meals. But faced with the demands of a busy day, it's hard to resist the convenience of takeout or commercially prepared foods. The Dietitians of Canada would like us to return to the pleasures of cooking and to family gathering around the table, so they have given us a cookbook that will help us achieve these goals.

Here are just a few of the tempting recipes:

Big-Batch Buttermilk Pancakes Strawberry Orange Flax Smoothie Asian Stir-fried Noodles with Shrimp Minestrone with Turkey Sausage Best-Ever Chocolate Cookies

As you'd expect from the Dietitians of Canada, these recipes are nutritionally balanced, but never at the expense of great taste and pure eating pleasure.
