Halloween treats aren’t just for kids! This Matcha Panna Cotta is perfect for a fall dinner party or as a special date night treat.
Rhubarb-Plum Syrup and Cocktail!
Happy almost summer everyone! The weather has been gorgeous here in Brooklyn, NY, and that means we’ve been outside grilling, playing and taking advantage of these fleeting, perfect days. Another thing that’s here and gone in a minute is rhubarb. These super tart stalks are actually a vegetable, but we usually don’t think of them as that since we’re always pairing it with sweet fruit.
Orange-Ginger Cranberry Relish
Add a pop of color and flavor to your Thanksgiving or Christmas table with this delicious and super easy cranberry relish. It comes together in less than 20 minutes and you can make it up to 4 days before you serve it.
Craving: Sweet – Hippie-Chick Granola
This packed-full-of-goodies granola is wickedly tasty, but has all the goodness you’d expect from your local health food co-op. It’s great as a topper for less tasty cereal, and it’s perfect for adding a bit of crunch to yogurt or ice cream. Pack some up for on-the-go treats in snack-size zip-lock bags.
Craving: Sweet – Mornin’ Sunshine Parfait
Mornin’ Sunshine Parfait
I love parfaits because they are ridiculously easy to make,
but they’re pretty enough and girly enough to feel like a
special treat. I like making them for weekend guests, or
just for myself when I need a little pick-me-up. You’ll need parfait glasses or wine glasses for serving.
Brocco Mac and Cheese
The ultimate comfort food grows up a little in this healthy version. It’s still rich and cheesy, but it also gets extra calcium from the dried milk powder and the broccoli. The top gets nice and crunchy from the breadcrumbs.
Craving: Spicy – Huevos Rancheros Wrap
I love the flavors of traditional huevos rancheros, but the restaurant-style ones are loaded with fat. This version uses Napa cabbage instead of iceberg for more nutrition and whole-grain wraps instead of tortillas.
Craving: Thirst Quenching – Love That Bump Lemonade
Many women told me that they couldn’t get enough lemonade during their pregnancies, so I wanted to develop a lemonade recipe that was easy and not overly sugary. First, you’ve got to use fresh lemon juice: the concentrate just doesn’t cut it. Then you’ve got to sweeten it. This one’s made with honey, which I find really delicious. If you prefer sugar, heat the same amount of natural sugar (or more if you’ve got a sweet tooth) with a cup of water on the stove until you get a syrup. This “simple syrup” then gets mixed with the lemon juice and water.
Momma’s Meatloaf
Potato chips are back on the menu! These are lighter than most store-bought varieties because we oven-bake them. Smoked paprika makes them even more flavorful.
