This salad works great as a side dish and is super easy to make. Sliced onions, chopped tomatoes and a balsamic vinaigrette give this salad an incredible flavour and texture.

A few months back, I was on a soup fix – making myself all kinds of soups. Not only is it super simple to make, but it is quite filling and works well when you don’t want to make a traditional meal. Toast a couple of slices of bread and you have yourself a quick dinner.

Baked Spaghetti with Vegetables

If you like pasta, and you like cheese, you might like this layered baked pasta. Simple sauteed vegetables, layered with spaghetti and white sauce, and topped with a layer of mozzarella cheese and breadcrumbs gives this baked dish a whole new meaning.

Breadcrumbs

Regular breadcrumbs work fairly well for baked dishes, and serve to give a nice crunchy topping to your dish. These are very easy to make on your own, and you don’t need to buy those fancy shmancy brands.

Basic Marinara Sauce

After a few cases of using half the bottle of the store bought sauces, leaving it in the fridge, and open it a few weeks later only to find it mouldy and quite unusable, I decided that it was time to make my own sauce. The work might be a bit more, but I certainly think that the flavour is unmatched.
