Use the recipe below as a general guide for the red curry. Feel free to substitute the vegetables or protein with anything else that you have on hand. VEGETABLE RED CURRY INGREDIENTS This red curry is inspired by my favorite flavors of Thai cuisine. For the aromatics, I used shallots, garlic, ginger, lemongrass, and Thai chili. To prepare lemongrass, peel off one outer layer of the stalk. Then, slice off any thin and dry sections from the top of the stalk....

Introduction For best results, you should get yourself some commercial vegan shredded cheese. I list some US and European brands in the ingredients chapter below. I order my vegan cheese shreds online once a month since my local grocery store doesn’t keep them. The first time I made this vegan creamy pasta, as a true Italian, I was very skeptical. But the recipe turned out so good, and it’s so simple, that it has become a staple in our home, especially when we crave an easy and creamy pasta dish (which is at least once a week)....

My fondest memories of Thanksgiving are from high school, when I would visit my best friend’s house in the morning to string bags and bags of green beans for their green bean casserole. The truth is, when I was growing up, my family never enjoyed a traditional Thanksgiving dinner. There might be a turkey once every few years and the occasional appearance of mashed potatoes. But there was no green bean casserole, no pumpkin pie, no sweet potato pie, no stuffing, and no going around the table telling everyone what we were thankful for....

This year, my Friendsgiving dinner is on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, and I’m still trying to figure out what entrée dish to bring. After two failed attempts to make the best baked mac and cheese ever, I’ve settled on this shepherd’s pie. There’s probably going to be more meat dishes than we can handle at our gathering, so I decided to make this shepherd’s pie with lentils instead of ground lamb or beef....

What is Sorbet? Sorbet is a frozen dessert, typically made from sweetened and flavored water. Sorbet is dairy-free, so it’s less creamy than ice cream. Instead, it’s more like eating a flavorful and refreshing snow cone, or shaved ice. Is Sorbet Healthier Than Ice Cream Store-bought sorbet usually has more sugar than ice cream, but in this case, homemade watermelon sorbet is naturally-sweetened and dairy-free. You can even leave the sugar out entirely if you want to!...

Loaded with calcium, iron, vitamins A, C, and K, and 10% of the RDA of omega-3 fatty acids in every cup, it’s no wonder why this leafy green is becoming more and more popular among the healthy living community. Of course, there’s a reason why kale gained popularity as a garnish, rather than as the main course–> the leaves are incredibly tough and fibrous! Not exactly the type of leafy green you’d want to feature in a raw salad....

I’m willing to wager that “healthy recipes” is one of the most searched terms around this time of the year. The moment we break out that calendar from its box or plastic shrink-wrap, we’re thinking of fresh starts, good intentions, and healthy lifestyles in the new year. Aside from making a few food resolutions, I haven’t quite drafted a “how to make 2015 shamazing” plan yet. My mind is still wound up tight on vacation mode, and I’m sneaking in all the pasties, jaffa cakes, and British game shows that I can handle before I leave....

Biscotti Ingredients To make almond flour biscotti, also known as cantucci, you’ll need 5 simple ingredients: Blanched almond flour Coconut sugar Egg (see notes for swaps) Baking powder Almond extract I find that blanched almond flour works best for this recipe, since almond meal (which has brown flecks of skin) tends to make more soft, cake-like baked goods. If you can only find almond meal at the store, I think it’s still worth trying, but the biscotti might need to bake a little longer to dry out in the middle....
