Banana peach almond breakfast milkshakes—Who says milkshakes are just for dessert? These shakes are filled with fresh fruit, unsweetened almond milk, and no added sugar, making a fabulously fun, but still healthy, treat for breakfast.
A virgin tamarind margarita makes the perfect treat to beat the heat during the miserably hot days of August. It’s an icy combination of tamarind, lemon, orange, and lime flavors that slides down the throat like a tangy bit of paradise, helping you to forget the sweaty hair sticking to the back of your neck, or […]
Red lentil dal—a thick stew made from red lentils, tomatoes, herbs, and spices—is one of my favorite comfort foods for more than one reason. First off, red lentil dal tastes darn good. Then if you add in the fact that it is easy to make and uses lentils and tomatoes (two of my favorite things) […]
