Falafel, crispy vegetarian patties made of chickpeas, garlic, onion and spices make an easy, inexpensive dinner or unique party food - serve small falafel balls with tzatziki for dipping.

Pork Stir Fry

Making a stir fry is a fun and exciting culinary experience with a certain exotic flare. Here, I use a combination of asparagus, onions and bell peppers to add crunch and nutritional value to the dish, and recommend pork tenderloin to satisfy the meat eaters. For a proper stir fry, you need three things: a wok, great flavor and high heat. Canola oil has a high smoke point and neutral flavor so the rest of the ingredients can really shine. Best way to serve a stir fry? Try pairing it with whole grains, like brown rice or quinoa.
