Ever imagined you could serve a HUGE meal and get away at the very end with a tea or coffee accompanied by some small but sinfully sweet squares? There’s a way! The other night, for my cousin’s birthday, I served a rather hearty Italian meal that included pasta asciutta, bistec a la fiorentina, a micro-greens salad, and all supported by the sturdy pillars of bread and wine. What was to be done about dessert? With a lactose intolerant soon-to-be father-in-law and little ol’ gluten-free me, I was stumped for a light dessert that would sate my sweet tooth and agree with everyone’s stomach. It hit me that what we needed was a little plate of Pistachio and Orange Blossom Turkish Delight with Lime Marshmallows to go with a cup of tea or coffee. It’s a light dessert plate with a touch of spring/summer thrown in. It all came together splendidly and everyone enjoyed this little treat most. Plus, if there are leftovers…wrap them up in cute little packaging for party favors! I included some fresh herbs from my garden in the gift bag, because I have too many and they smell divine.  For the mix and match recipes, click the links below: Pistachio and Orange Blossom Turkish Delight by food52 Lime Marshmallows by drizzleanddip

Stir-fry Spring Roll Salad with Spicy peanut dressing

The Veg:

½ red bell pepper, sliced ½ zucchini, chopped ½ C sliced carrots handful of cherry tomatoes  fresh cilantro fresh mint  mixed greens (I used a spinach and kale mix)

The Sauce:

3 tablespoons olive oil 2 cloves garlic 2 Tbsp soy sauce 2-3 Tbsp peanut butter (or other nut butter) 2 tablespoons water 1 Tbsp rice wine vinegar  1 Tbsp honey 1 Tbsp lime juice ½ tsp crushed red pepper (or to taste)  a dash of fish sauce

Stir fry all the veggies except greens, mint and cilantro to desired doneness. Turn off heat and stir in chopped cilantro and mint, stir until fragrant.

Add the warm veggies to a bed of greens and top with peanut sauce. Voila! Deliciousness Achieved! I ate the whole thing (with dressing left over) so if you want to feed more than one person, add more veggies. wink emoticon

Also, so many easy adaptations!

Replace the zucchini with cucumber and skip the stir-frying. This would make a great cold salad too!

-OR-

Skip the greens and add to a bed of rice noodles instead, which would make it taste even more like a spring roll.

Without the fish sauce, its totally vegetarian. Without the honey, vegan! This is also easy to make paleo and/or gluten free.

Healthy Monday: This healthy version of the sweet-spicy Chinese-American staple features chicken that is pan-fried rather than deep-fried.

Recipe: General Tso’s Chicken

[healthy--things-blog]

I made these with half all-purpose flour and half whole what flour, cause I live with my mom who is a whole wheat hater. They’re still quite a healthy snack though, and they taste delicious and freeze well.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup egg substitute (or 2 eggs)

1 cup unsweetened applesauce

1 cup sugar

Sweet n tangy green smoothie! Here’s the recipe: 1/2 banana, handful of fresh spinach, 1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder, 5-ish pieces of ice, 1/3-1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk, and 1 orange (take out the seeds). So good and creamy! Enjoy.

Made myself a delicious and super refreshing Anti-bloating Anti-aging Detox water! Here’s what you’ll need to make a pitcher:

* 3-4 strawberries sliced * 1 small Persian cucumber * handful of ice * 1-2 liters of water

Let it chill in the fridge for a few hours or overnight to really let the flavors come out. Refill as many times as you want. I usually don’t keep the fruits in there for over 24 hrs.

Why does this work?

Cucumbers are especially great for detoxing because they prevent water retention and have anti-inflammatory properties.

Strawberries help fight carcinogens and contains anti-aging properties such as biotin and the antioxidant ellagic acid, which helps prevent sagging skin.

Give it a try! Drink this all day instead of regular water and you’ll see how easy and yummy it is to stay hydrated!
