Springtime or Anytime Lentil Salad
This recipe hits the sweet spot for weeknight dinner planning: It's simple, quick, easy to make ahead, healthful, and—most importantly—packed with big flavors. The fresh mint brings a sunny breeze of springtime into dinner, no matter what time of year you have it. If you are making this dish ahead of time, I recommend waiting to add the fresh mint until right before serving for maximum minty impact. I recommend small black lentils for this dish, but green or brown will work, too. The important thing is that you use lentils with the skin still on—otherwise they'll be too mushy to use in the salad.
Amaretto Cherry Frozen Yogurt
Last summer Serious Eats ran an article about making frozen yogurt. Learning that frozen yogurt can be made with just full fat yogurt, sugar, and salt was a revelation to me. The article discussed using Greek yogurt, too. Alone it makes the frozen yogurt too dense, but when mixed with fruit juice, flavored syrups, or even wine it works perfectly. I pondered various flavor ideas, and finally settled on amaretto as my base flavor. For added texture and flavor I tried a few different mix-ins. My favorite combo was crumbled amaretti cookies and dried tart cherries. If you can't find amaretti cookies, almond biscotti, windmill cookies, or speculoos make good substitutes.

Minted tomatillo salsa
This recipe is a simplification of a recipe published by Sue Torres in The New Greenmarket cookbook. When I ran across the recipe I was intrigued by putting mint in tomatillo salsa. Mint and tomatillo are a fresh and delicious combination. My method and ingredients are different that Sue Torres', but the flavor combination was inspired by her. I roast the tomatillos and keep it ultra simple, just tomatillos and mint. This salsa is delicious on chicken tacos.

Blackberry Lime Buttermilk Sherbet
Buttermilk is the liquid left behind after cream was churned into butter. Since almost all the fat is in the butter, buttermilk is naturally low in fat yet it still has a thick creamy texture. Today, commercially-made buttermilk comes in various fat amounts so be sure to look for the lowest.

One of the least safe things you can do is leave your oven on overnight. But doing so makes for an amazing pulled pork. Plus you awake to the wondrous aroma of slow roasted pork. (Alternatively, you can put it in the oven in the morning and eat it for dinner.) This can be eaten on its own, or as a sandwich with barbecue sauce, or in stir fry. Be creative!
Stuffed Turnips
This is an inventive way to liven up stuffed turnips, the peas in this recipe bring a new texture to a dull root vegetable while the mint sauce adds a zing.
Chard Stalk Hummus
Looking for a resourceful way to use up the stalks from your swiss or rainbow chard bounty? The use of chard stalks as a hummus is somewhat common in mediterranean cooking. I came across the idea in Root-to-Stalk Cooking by Tara Duggan. Paula Wolfert's The Cooking of Eastern Mediterranean and Clifford Wright's Mediterranean Vegetables also provide variations, among others. I adapted this dip using my favorite hummus recipe, heavy on the tahini and garlic. I was pleasantly awed by the texture - it perfectly captures the creaminess of hummus, and I'm still rapt in the memory of the garlicky lemon flavor. This dip is pink because I used rainbow chard stalks as that's what I had on hand, but for a beige-colored dip, use swiss chard stalks.
Red Onion Chutney
The majority of the households in the Southern part of India wake up to the aroma of steaming Idlis, sizzling Dosas, or yummy Upma, every morning. All of these snacks need chutney to go along.

Vegan Vanilla Cashew Cream
When travelling in America last summer I came across cashew milk, which I can’t find anywhere here in the UK, and it was the creamiest tasting plant based milk I have ever come across. Which got me thinking, I can just make this at home, cashews are easy to get, and nut milks are so easy to make. I’ve used cashews in dairy free cheesecake recipes before, and I’m a big fan of the cashew ice cream they sell in our local organic shop, and they certainly don’t lack in gorgeous creamy texture. Also the great thing about making milk with cashews, is that they are so soft after soaking, that they just melt into the water when blended, which saves you having to strain any pulp afterwards. Keeping all the nutty protein and fibre goodness all together in a great tasting drink. So naturally I thought, adding less water makes a delicious, dairy free and vegan cream. This is such a versatile little creation, and works amazingly in so many different recipes. I have been using it in equal parts to cream as a substitute in recipes without any trouble, and feel great knowing that I am adding a good dose of healthy fats and quality protein to recipes that were previously full of empty calories.
