Eek! I was in desperate need for a drink, and that’s how this pomegranate apple cider spritzer happened. This fruity delight packs quite the punch, but it’s also something that I know my family will enjoy. Mama Lin always boasts that she has a good tolerance for alcohol, but to be honest, I’ve never seen her drink. Come Thanksgiving time, operation Tipsy Mama Lin is a go, and I hope she enjoys this little spritzer as much as I do!...

If you are anything like me, you want quick and easy breakfasts in the morning. That growling in my stomach is ruthlessly unforgiving. Within 15 minutes of waking up, it craves sustenance to keep it happy. On many days, you’ll find me shoving small handfuls of homemade granola in my face and rinsing it down with a cup of English breakfast tea. I call this breakfast grazing. It’s not the healthiest of habits, I know, but I’m working on it....
What makes it even better? This particular ice cream recipe is dairy-free and naturally sweetened with maple syrup. And it still has all the flavor you love! My taste testers have reported that they would rather have this at Thanksgiving, instead of pumpkin pie, but if you’ve ever tried my Vegan Pumpkin Pie recipe, I think it’s a toss-up. They are both pretty delicious! Ingredients You’ll Need What is pumpkin ice cream made of?...
Be sure to try my Pasta Primavera recipe next! Roasted Red Pepper Pasta This recipe sounds gourmet and looks gourmet, but it’s actually a 30 minute meal. Does it get any better than that?! It starts off by blending roasted red peppers and chicken broth for a smooth consistency. The sauce is further enhanced by adding heavy cream, a touch of hot sauce (which doesn’t make it spicy), and a perfect blend of seasonings....

It’s mostly salmon which makes every bite such a treat! These salmon cakes always disappear fast and are well loved by the kids and grown ups in our family. I love that there isn’t a hint of fishiness in them. It’s a smart way to use up leftover cooked salmon, but it’s worth the extra 10 minutes it takes to roast salmon just for this recipe....

This was the first lettuce salad that my 3-year old agreed to eat and she asked for more! It is definitely a feel-good, protein packed salad loaded with crisp lettuce, sweet corn, avocados, ripe cherry tomatoes and perfectly cooked eggs. It has a similar flavor profile to our popular chicken avocado salad....

Benefits of Green Beans If you’re not already a big fan of green beans, here’s more reason to love them: They are a low FODMAP food, which may help with lowering IBS symptoms. Raw green beans have 2 grams of plant-based protein per cup. They’re also a source of vitamin C, which may help with wound healing and may shorten the recovery time for illnesses, like pneumonia. Green beans are also a good source of fiber, which can act like a prebiotic in the digestive tract and feed “good” gut bacteria....

I love that there is no cooking required with this Shrimp Sandwiches recipe, (especially if you buy pre-cooked shrimp), which is so tempting when the temperatures outside are climbing into the 100’s! This is a great way to use the heirloom tomatoes and fresh lettuce that are in season. Use a colorful variety of tomatoes to prettify your platter. Lining everything up and allowing guests to build their own sandwiches is really an easy way to entertain and it keeps things interesting....
Stuffed peppers are one of my favorite dishes of all time. I’ve grown up eating these stuffed peppers, made the traditional Romanian way. Today I wanted to make a version that’s a bit healthier with turkey and rice instead of the classic fatty ground pork. Don’t get me wrong, ground pork makes those stuffed peppers delicious, but sometimes we want healthier alternatives. And that’s what I’ve done here. For me, stuffed peppers are a true comfort food....
Why You’ll Love It It tastes amazing. Spaghetti squash can taste a little bland on its own, but when you add in spices like cumin, garlic, and salt, it becomes a dish you’ll crave. It’s easy to customize. This recipe is vegetarian as written, but you can easily add extra protein to make it more filling. Try adding in leftover rotisserie chicken, or cooked turkey or pork, when it’s time to stir in the other ingredients....
Many moons ago, I was a low-level cashier at my college’s main food court on campus. To all of my friends who ever doubted my mental math skills, all I have to say is that I was damn good at my job. Money, Asian genes—there’s probably some correlation there. I learned a few nifty tricks while I was working there, like how to refill the soda concentrate in the soda fountain and how to spot counterfeit bills like a pro....

Let the baking season begin! At least for me. I’m ready, I’m so ready! Keep in mind I’m not a fancy baker, but I do love to bake savory baked goods, like this spinach feta wreath. This kind of baking is right up my alley. The flavors in this wreath are really quite similar to a spanakopita, a popular Greek appetizer of phyllo pastry stuffed with feta and cheese. In this recipe, while the filling is similar, the dough is completely different....
What Is Stollen Typically enjoyed during the holiday season, stollen is a traditional German treat that goes beyond ordinary fruitcake. This sweet yeast bread blends the richness of dried fruits, the crunch of nuts, and the pillowy softness of buttery bread. But what makes this German Christmas bread truly special is the addition of marzipan delicately rolled into the dough. All-Purpose Flour: Creates the foundation of your bread, by providing structure and a neutral base....
This rhubarb crisp is naturally gluten-free when you use certified gluten-free oat products, and since it’s made with coconut sugar, it’s also lower-glycemic, when compared to a crisp made with white sugar. (So it shouldn’t spike your blood sugar as much!) Using coconut oil keeps it dairy-free, making this recipe vegan friendly, too. What’s the Difference Between a Crisp and a Crumble? Crisp and Crumble desserts both have fruit on the bottom and a buttery pastry-like topping....
