New year but the scenery has not changed much. How about mixing it up in the kitchen to make things a little more exciting! You don’t have to be a MasterChef to try any of these recipes.  Here are my top 3 sites for fun, tasty recipes that are simple and budget friendly. Plus each site has some additional, helpful nutrition information.

1. www.unlockfood.ca/en/CookingAndFood.aspx – expert guidance for everyday eating brought to you by Dietitians of Canada. Recipes, nutrition information and simple cooking videos are all here for you.
2. http://cookspiration.com – Tried and tested recipes brought to you by Dietitians of Canada – click on the “explore by genre” for recipe groupings including Vegetarian and Gluten Free recipes. I like the “Kid Friendly” category to get ideas for my family. They also have a “Menu Planner”.
3. http://barriefht.ca/eatinghealthy/ – Lots of great links for recipes, budget friendly recipes and ideas on how to get active.

Break up the menu monotony with one new recipe! Wishing you all the best this new year and stay healthy, stay safe.
