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.
WHEELS OF FIRE MARTINI - This Wheel's on Fire
The perfect balance of sweet, heat, mint,and citrus. Wheels of Fire spicy flavor will stay just a little bit longer on the back of your throat. Caution: *This Wheels on Fire, do not touch with your hands, or hands to your face after touching. Not for the tame and mild bunch. (Stay away from open flames, or you may become a fire breather!)
Crispy Tofu Chips
As someone who likes the idea and taste of bacon but not the texture (or the pork!), I love this accidental - and vegan - discovery: a crispy tofu chips recipe!
Garlic Scape Pesto
Pesto is beginning to make a regular appearance at dinner at my house. Toss it with pasta, spread it on toast; thin it with more olive oil and it'll become a happy alternative to whatever you've been dressing your salads with.
MYSTICEARL MARTINI - A little dirty and mystical
Cucumber and lime flavors mingle with real ginger and organic hibiscus in this green tea mixer/elixir. Cucumber plus lime plus ginger plus hibiscus is a seemingly strange mix. Green tea is hosting a Garden Party and invited all of its flavor and spice friends. It’s a little weird and mystical, but, Yoko brought her Walrus there was magic in the air to form a refreshing cocktail. Extremely fragrant, with intense flavor, this is not for the tame and mild bunch. This elixir is elegant and classy, but packs a huge punch, best …stirred, not shaken…
Foolproof Coconut Milk Chocolate Mousse
This recipe is all coconut cream, making it easier to whip into a decadent and delicious chocolate mousse. Use quality Dutch process cocoa powder, too.

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.
Minted Strawberry Melon Salad
A perfect addition to your summer barbeque, this fruit salad is cool, sweet and refreshing!
Ridiculously Easy Frozen Grapes and Yogurt
We keep grapes in the freezer all summer for a simple and refreshing snack or dessert. This time I dressed them up with a little sugar and set them on a sweet and tangy yogurt sauce elegant enough for company!
Raspberry Lemonade Sorbet
My raspberry lemonade sorbet recipe is irresistibly creamy, sweet, and tart, and putting it together is a cinch. Fruity, fresh, and delightful--perfection!
Blackberry Coconut Sorbet
I got the idea for this recipe from a comment thread on a news website. It's a fabulous summer refresher--light and tart from the blackberries, rich and sweet from the coconut milk. And the deep purple color is stunning.
Chocolate Cream
This recipe was inspired by my aunt on a hot day. The ingredients used were all we had in the kitchen at the time, and putting them together made a delicious dish!
Basic Rice Cream (Vegan)
This basic vegan rice cream can be made into dozens of wonderful recipes: creamy soups, whipped creams, and puddings. It's an excellent dairy alternative.
Lavender Mint Granita
A floral, herbal and lemony summer treat that brings these gorgeous lavender fields of Provance straight to my apartment. When you are stranded in the city for the entire summer, what else can you do -- if the hill will not come to Mohammed, Mohammed will go to the hill.
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.
Orange Vanilla Coconut Milk Ice Cream
It gets so hot in Dallas and I crave something cold and creamy, but I'm not supposed to eat dairy or sugar so I came up with this for a treat. It tastes like a Creamsicle and could be frozen in a mold if you would like. I know it's not technically ice cream and gets a little icy, but it can't be beat it for fast, tasty, and unlimited flavor variation potential.
Butternut Tomato sauce
I paid more than $6 for a jar of gourmet pasta sauce, but after reading the ingredients I realized it was pretty simple. Adding defrosted butternut squash--the whole package with a quart jar of homemade or quality prepared tomato pasta sauce--couldn't be easier. Not only does this add a great nutritional punch, but its a complex flavor and nice thickness that adds a lot to homemade sauce or baked pasta dishes.
Toasted Hazelnuts
This recipe shows you how to toast and skin hazelnuts in 5 minutes. All you need to do is place one cup of hazelnuts on a dry baking sheet and put in the oven.
Darina Allen's Rhubarb Ginger Jam
This rhubarb ginger jam recipe is so simple with just four ingredients and allows you to enjoy the special flavor of rhubarb all year long.
Orange cardamom fro-yo
My flatmate's family farm oranges here in Sicily, so we had a glut. What to do? Mix those babies up with yogurt, cardamom and honey and freeze them, of course! Yum.
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!
Fresh Watermelon Granita with Mint-Infused Simple Syrup
This recipe is simple, delicious, and offers a cool, refreshing treat for any hot summer day.
Kale & Quinoa Salad
All winter my favorite dish was "greens and beans." That general description allows for lots of variation, and we tried 'em all. For spring (and a hot day that felt like summer), I wanted a new, fresh salad that was substantial enough to stand up to grilled meat while still tasting light and bright. Kale, of course, is the miracle food of the moment (during a recent visit, a friend told me "every restaurant in Brooklyn has a kale salad"), and quinoa probably is too. Anyway, both offer earthy flavor with lots of protein and nutrients.
Homemade Ricotta - With Cow's Milk or Goat Milk
Different kinds of milk will give you different ricottas. Cow’s milk is, of course, the milk that’s most readily available. Goat also works for this recipe.
