Russ's Vegetable Melange
This is a very quick and easy recipe to use up any vegetables that is tasty too. If you would like to read more reviews on this one or see more photos please click here. You will see from my photo that I used broccoli and cauliflower in this as well as a leek instead of onion. I served this to go with a pork loin I was cooking, I also added extra mustard just our preference.

Truffled Brie Dijon Chicken Breasts
This is a delicious way to prepare chicken that is very easy to prepare with a wonderful end result. I like to stuff my chicken breasts with a slice of cheese as well as top them for extra cheesy flavour. I also love using truffle brie although more expensive than regular you can not beat the taste, although regular brie is fine. The Dijon sauce adds a wonderful finishing touch to the dish which my whole family like.
