The summer season is here! Time to light up the flames under some mean, tasty food. Of course, no summer get-together is complete without some skewers thrown on to a grill. For this dish, I recommend using lean, top sirloin steak cuts for a healthier red meat option, mixed up with some colorful vegetables. The marinade fuses the Latin flavors of aji, cilantro and lime with the Asian flavors of the soy sauce. The low saturated fat content of canola oil allows the marinade to stay free-flowing in the refrigerator.

Crepes are very versatile and make an excellent main course, appetizer or dessert. Fill with shrimp or chicken in a creamy sauce, sauteed vegetables and cheese, or with fresh berries and whipped cream. Canola oil's neutral flavor works well with sweet or savory fillings.

Three shades of green combine in this pasta dish. It's so good and so good for you that it will quickly become a staple meal!
