Frittatas are a great meal option because they can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Using hearty ingredients, like potatoes and artichokes, add a boost of flavor and extra nutrition. Canola oil’s high heat tolerance allows me to go seamlessly from the stove top to the oven.

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.

A twist on the popular Southern barbecue dish, this “pulled pork” is infused with rich, exotic flavors, plus hints of chili and orange. Canola oil’s mild taste helps those flavors sparkle. The meat is wrapped in tortillas and garnished with shredded lettuce, cilantro or mint sprigs, green onions and a dash of sour cream for a sensational meal.
