Today I am grateful to share with you my very first recipe contribution to Mind Body Green! Lately, I have really been loving simple salads with huge flavors. This heirloom tomato and avocado salad is one that I threw together for my mom and I for the first time a few weeks ago, and…
3-Ingredient Energy Bars
As I mentioned in my peanut butter granola bar post, I have a thing for energy bars. Although I have taste-tested energy bars from numerous brands through the years, I have yet to find an ideal bar for my preferences. However, if I were to pick a winner, it would be the Larabar. With only…
Basil and Hemp Seed Pesto
Due to my appreciation for delicious seasonal produce, trips to the farmer’s market are a must during the summer months. There is something truly special about knowing where your food was grown, and experiencing the beauty, freshness, and flavors that simply blow most supermarket imports away. This year, my minor obsession with summer produce finally pushed me to…
Strawberry Chocolate Chip Buckwheat Muffins
It’s finally strawberry season! One of the things I love the most about summertime is the depth of flavor and texture of its seasonal produce. As wonderful as it all is, I must say that the seasonal berries excite me the most. The just-sweet-enough flavors and perfectly juicy textures are simply impossible to be matched at any…
Quinoa Power Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette
I have come to the realization that keeping track of my recipes in an organized manner is quite a task! Between my shoeboxes of handwritten recipe cards, the recipes that I have typed into my personal iPad app, and those that I have typed and saved on my computer. Of course, there’s also the “recipes”…
Chocolate Energy Bites
As I have mentioned in previous posts, I am a true chocolate lover. Every day I discover new chocolaty combinations that make my taste buds explode, and the rest of me just melt. My current favorite concoction includes lots of melted dark chocolate stirred into warm quinoa. I know it may sound odd, but the…
Creamy Avocado Pesto Pasta
Pasta has always been one of my absolute favorite foods. When I first developed my love for cooking years ago, pasta dishes were practically the only meals I made. From homemade gnocchi to mushroom bolognese to baked penne marinara with every vegetable I could think of, I loved putting my creativity to the test. Although I experimented with a variety…
Berry Bliss Smoothie and the Beauty of Simplicity
After a long, cold winter, it finally feels like spring! Both sunny and rainy days are frequent, some of my favorite fruits and veggies are in season, and a light jacket is all I need to comfortably spend time outside. What gets me the most are the gorgeous flowers that are in bloom all around me. From large trees…
Nourishing Power Bowl with Lemon-Tahini Dressing
All salads are NOT created equal. The significant portion of modern society that seems to consider salads and veggies as tasteless “diet foods” could not be more off. Don’t get me wrong, I agree that the iceberg wedge with dressing that you find at some restaurants is far from substantial. However, that depiction does not…
Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread
I have always had a love for baking. Back in high school, I can recall daydreaming about baking muffins, and anticipating the end of the day so I could go home and transform my visions into reality. The kitchen, to me, was like a blank canvas that I could decorate with whatever images and…
