The carrots and caramelized onions give this soup a sweet taste, while a small amount of ginger balances that sweetness out by giving it a sharp, gingery flavor in the background. Simple, and perfect.

This risotto isn’t your usual rich and creamy risotto. It’s still creamy, but it doesn’t taste like a heart attack because of the hint of tartness coming out of the bell pepper. Fresh parsley gives this risotto an aromatic touch. Makes 3-4 servings.

Chicken Ceasar Salad

My first rule of thumb is that anything you make out of fresh ingredients is guaranteed to be healthier than anything that comes out of a can or jar. My second rule of thumb is that the more ingredients you leave raw, the healthier the food, because the heat will destroy a lot of the vitamins and other vital nutrients. Everything in this recipe is raw except for the chicken and the Worcestershire sauce. This salad is perfect for a cool summer evening, when you want a refreshing crispy salad and you have the chicken to warm you up. But most of all, the dressing will leave such a lasting impression, your guests will remember you by it.
