Blueberry creme spread/dip
I wanted to make a topping for some buckwheat pancakes that had some protein in it and used up the blueberries in the friidge - the end results was this recipe. Very tasty on pancakes or with some granola on its own.
Apple Chips
I borrowed the technique for these from Rivka, whose Cocoa Pear Crisps, were an early recipe contest winner. You don't need to add anything to the apples, but I often sprinkle half of them with a little cinnamon to keep things lively. Feel free to experiment with different spices like ginger, allspice, or even cardamom.
Grilled Bananas with Buttered Maple Sauce and English Almond Toffee
S'mores sch'mores. This is my go to grill dessert. Quick, easy and delightful. I have a friend who gives us a wonderful box of English Almond Toffee each year. I like to crumble it and use it as a topping for lots of desserts.
Blueberry Schlumpf
I got this recipe from my father's distant cousin, Hasso, who serves it each year in Sorrento, Maine. Make a double batch, serve it hot and gooey, and be sure you have some vanilla ice cream on hand.
Blueberry Fool with Yogurt
From Nigel Slater's Ripe (Ten Speed Press, 2012). Slater uses sugar; I prefer honey (and a tablespoon less). Use whichever appeals. He also suggests you chill the fool for an hour before serving; in case you don't have the time or patience, I've eaten it almost immediately after making and found it still irresistible.
Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Sugar-Free Peanut Butter Banana Muffins
This is simple muffin recipe takes only a few easy-to-find ingredients . Even though this recipes calls for no flour, it tastes just like a regular muffin. The secret is the magical combination of eggs and bananas. The sweetness in the recipe comes from the bananas; however, it is very subtle. If you prefer something sweeter, try adding a dash of maple syrup in the batter.
Corn, Avocado, and Mango Salad
This salad is more of an idea than a recipe. I hate measuring, which is why I generally don't post recipes on the site. But I was so pleased with this simple yet delightful combination of flavors that I figured I'd share--if only to inspire others to create their own fresh take on this summer side. I served the corn salad with halibut, but I'm sure it would taste great with trout and almost any other white fish or protein, or taco, for that matter. All measurements are approximated as is the serving size. I wouldn't worry, though. This salad would be very hard to mess up if you use the guidelines I've provided below. Enjoy.
Mango Crostini
Call me crazy, but I grew up eating mangoes on toast for breakfast during the summers every year. My family has this thing for pairing sweet and savory flavors together – not everybody likes it, I can tell you that! I guess its very similar to eating fruits with cheese - just like the French people. Its something about pairing the savory and sweet together – it somehow balances the flavors out. This recipe is inspired from my childhood breakfast
Watermelon Granita with Blueberries
Nothing says summer like watermelon, and this frozen version is surprisingly simple to make. It is a delightful finish to any meal.
Pineapple Mint Wine Spritzer with Raspberries
After a long day in the garden, I threw together this refreshing drink. It's a wine spritzer dressed up for a garden party! I served it to my husband on our back patio. We kicked up our feet, watched our dogs play, and savored our quiet time together.
Scallops and Mango Skewers
Sweet and meaty, fresh scallops are the most user-friendly of mollusks and make for easy summer suppers. Skewer them with bell peppers, red onion and mango, and they can go from grill to table in about 15 minutes flat. The trick to grilling scallops is simple: Err on the side of undercooking since an undercooked scallop is far more enjoyable than an overcooked one. Take the scallops off the grill before they’re opaque all the way through.
Vegan Chocolate-Banana “Ice Cream”
An oldie but a goodie: Banana “Ice Cream”. This is always a hit at my cooking classes because people can’t believe this ice-creamy consistency is just bananas.
Spiced Baked Apple Chips
These are incredibly simple to make, but wonderfully healthy and delicious. Thinly sliced apples are tossed with spices and baked for a crunchy sweet treat. These are perfect for an on-the-go snack, or adding to yogurt, granola, salads and more.
Nutty Chocolate Dipped Bananas
Who says you can’t have your dessert and eat it too? The ingredients couldn’t be simpler just chocolate, your favorite dip-able fruit and Nutcase Crunch and dessert is served! Did we mention Nutcase Crunch makes it kinda healthy too? Shhh … just focus on the chocolate.
Easy Amaretto Pineapple Ice Pops
My love of something frozen and creamy started at an early age with afternoon visits from Mr. Jolly and his ice cream truck. My love grew stronger when I would visit my Aunt and Uncle who lived near Wrightsville Beach NC every summer. Not only were the beach visits glorious but Uncle "Doots" owned Dairy Queens! Staying up late, swimming and all the ice cream I could eat - every day was heaven. I still love creamy frozen treats and am always thinking of ways to make grown up versions of them. Using 1% milk makes me think I can enjoy one every day! Sometimes I dunk it in a tiny splash of Amaretto ~ This is so easy and so delicious I make variations on them all year round.
Two Ingredient Banana Chocolate Ice Cream
Transform a few bananas and some cocoa powder into a creamy dairy-free ice cream. My mom made this for me a few summers ago. She tried to trick me into thinking it was regular ice cream. It kinda worked!
Toasted Coconut Banana Almond Butter
I love any time of dip, spread, snack, etc. sooooo I wanted to try a new spin on my mid-day snack which usually consists of peanut butter or some type of nut butter w/ bananas on toast. This almond butter is a tropical experience, chock full of toasted coconut and bananas for a hint of natural sweetness.
Chocolate-Crusted Banana Blondies
A buttery chocolate crust and a rum-scented, banana-imbued butterscotch blondie form two distinct layers that harmonize with every bite. The contrast between crunchy bottom and chewy topping is the whole point of the exercise.
Teriyaki Chicken Skewers
A quick and easy summer recipe inspired by the tasty chicken kabobs freshly grilled at the farmer's market in San Luis Obispo, CA.
Strawberry Pineapple Fool
This is a luscious, creamy dessert with fresh strawberries and sweet pineapple all folded into a whipped cream. This pineapple fool recipe is so tasty!
Banana Chai Ginger Smoothie
This smoothie can be tweaked to your liking as you go along. It's refreshing, creamy, and packs a ginger-y punch! Simple but surprising with the addition of chai and using homemade almond milk would also be delicious.
