Mediterranean Tapenade – Its name comes from the Provençal word for capers, tapenas. A popular food in the south of France it lends a bright, vibrant flavor. Capers, pickled flower buds, are an all-natural and delicious way to bring flavor to a meal without adding many calories and are an excellent source of fiber and vitamin K. Olives are very high in vitamin E and other powerful antioxidants. Studies show that they are good for the heart, and may protect against osteoporosis and cancer. Monounsaturated fats, the kind found in olives, seems to encourage weight loss.

Moroccan ratatouille – what distinguishes our ratatouille from the traditional French ratatouille is dates and apricots join yellow squash and red bell peppers. Yellow squash is high in manganese, a mineral which helps the body process fats, carbohydrates, and glucose.
