So, this is my play on a whiskey sour. Be forewarned that it is a little more intense than the standard bar recipe, which is what I think makes it so tasty. The egg white makes the drink almost creamy and ethereal. Take whatever precautions you choose to (or not to) prevent contamination. I like […]
I love watermelon and basil. This recipe is fresh, delicious, and highlights the best of those ingredients. The recipe calls for 2 tablespoons of vodka, not because we love boozing, but instead to prevent the sorbet from freezing solid. Although, mixing this sorbet into a cocktail isn’t a half-bad idea. Watermelon Basil Mint Sorbet Ingredients: […]

As you may have noticed, I love spinach artichoke dip. I am always finding ways to adapt it to use the ingredients I have on hand. The tofu gives this dip a light and creamy texture. One important thing to note is that the tofu has a very bland flavor and needs help. So, the […]

I get a crazy sweet tooth every afternoon. While I would love to eat cookies and sweets every day, I would also like to fit through doorways. I’m trying to cut back on sugar and increase protein and fiber. These bars have tons of “healthy” ingredients: oats, banana, peanut butter, and chia! I hope that […]
I love spinach artichoke dip, but I cannot justify eating it outside of special occasions. In honor of the Oscars tonight, which are barely a special occasion, I made a barely unhealthy dip. The beans in this dip replace the mayo that most other recipes contain. Great northern beans make the dip creamy and give […]
This dip started as a reciped based off of the Doña Sauce from Taco Deli in Austin, TX. But then, after I made it a time or two, it took on a life of its own. This salsa does not seem too spicy at first, but then it really sticks with you. (Translation: it’s really, […]

You can use regular worcestershire sauce, vegan worcestershire sauce, a combination of balsamic vinegar and soy sauce, or any other tart, salty drizzle to go with the mustard in the sauce. While […]
