Vegan Tiramisu
March 1, 2013 – 7:56 am
Tiramisu is one of those desserts I never thought I could clean up and make lighter and more healthier. Well, I was definitely wrong. Sure, the lady fingers are still made with white flour, but I cut corners in other ways — this recipe has no dairy! It’s a vegan, light way to enjoy tiramisu.
Shrimp Tomato Soup With Mint
February 19, 2013 – 2:34 pm
I love this soup because its flavors are so strong and textures so smooth and creamy, so a small serving goes a long way. But above all, it is incredibly simple and real, using only a handful of ingredients that pack not only the taste but also the protein and healthy fats – all in [...]
Cherry Tomato Mint Salad
February 11, 2013 – 9:08 am
I quickly put together this salad to complement my dinner. It makes for a colorful side dish and palette cleanser. I used red, green and yellow cherry tomatoes for color contrast. The fresh mint heightens the salad’s aromas. You can make it more meal-worthy with the addition of feta cheese, olives or any other vegetables. [...]

Zesty Sweet Potato Salad
November 28, 2012 – 8:08 am
The best thing about a sweet potato is its versatility. One minute it’s baked and served with butter, another it’s in a sweet brown sugar crusted casserole, and then another it’s paired with garlic and onions for a more savory twist. This recipe is all about highlighting both the sweet and the savory. Sweet potato [...]
Mint Vegan Alfredo Sauce
October 25, 2012 – 8:08 am
You don’t need the cream, butter and cheese to enjoy a filling pasta dish. Avocado is a rich, decadent replacement that, when paired with garlic, lemon, and fresh mint leaves, doesn’t carry with it any semblance of guacamole. It’s simply a delicious, creamy Alfredo pasta sauce deserving of all the praise I promise it’ll receive. [...]

This recipe serves tofu in a very simple, yet fragrant way. Marinated in and olive oil mixture of fresh mint and spices, the tofu absorbs excellent flavor. Seared simply for a few minutes on both sides, the tofu takes about 5 minutes to completion. Enjoy!

Peach Kringle
September 21, 2012 – 8:08 am
Canned peaches are peaches sliced and poached in sugar water. One cup of it is nearly 200 calories, near 40 grams of sugar and under 5 grams of fiber. In order to enjoy this for breakfast, it’d be nice to up the ante on fiber and keep the sugar coming exclusively from the peach itself, [...]
