Limonana (Middle Eastern Frozen Mint Lemonade)

August 10, 2020 by Faith 72 Comments

This Limonana recipe (Middle Eastern Frozen Mint Lemonade) is sweet, tart, and refreshing, and perfect for cooling down with on a hot day!

Limonana (Middle Eastern Frozen Mint Lemonade)

It’s October. It may or may not be snowing profusely where you are. (Although I’m not there now, where I come from, it more than likely is snowing profusely!)

I realize that.

So what am I doing posting a frozen beverage?…

Baked Eggplant Recipe with Tomato (Paleo)

August 3, 2020 by Faith 10 Comments

Baked Eggplant Recipe with Tomato

This paleo Baked Eggplant Recipe pairs mild roasted eggplant with a richly spiced tomato sauce, nutty toasted almonds, and fresh mint. Normally as summer winds down I start to hoard summer vegetables. Cucumbers get pickled, tomatoes get stewed (for beautiful things like creamy tomato soup in the middle of winter), and zucchinis get baked. (By the way, that chocolate zucchini cake I linked to freezes well for up to 6 months if wrapped well!)...

Spinach Strawberry Salad Recipe

April 29, 2019 by Faith 1 Comment

Overhead View of Spinach Strawberry Salad on Creamy Marble Background

Spinach Strawberry Salad is a healthy, delicious lunch recipe that makes great use out of fresh, sweet, and juicy local strawberries! It also makes a quick side salad for summer dinner and goes well with anything you grill up. I’m always surprised at how many people tell me they don’t like salad because it’s boring! I guess that depends on what you put into it. I mean, if it’s just a bowl of leaves I would consider it rabbit food too, lol. But salad doesn’t have to be that way. With a variety of sweet and savory flavors, creamy and crunchy textures, and a quick […]...

Sweet and Savory Strawberry Salad with Rosé Reduction and Fresh Mint

June 1, 2018 by Faith Leave a Comment

Sweet and Savory Strawberry Salad with Rosé Reduction and Fresh Mint and Glasses of Rosé

Sweet and Savory Strawberry Salad with Rosé Reduction and Fresh Mint is a lovely balance of sweet and savory flavors, with a touch of heat if you want it (from jalapeno) and a burst of freshness (from mint). This salad sounds fancy, but you’ll be surprised at how easy it is to put together! Wine with a touch of honey reduces in less than 10 minutes on the stovetop, and is then cooled and used to macerate fresh-sliced strawberries. Onion adds a bit of savory flavor, a tiny bit of jalapeno is optional, and fresh mint brightens it up. Serve it as a salad on […]...

Mint Medley Chocolate Pots de Crème

January 23, 2017 by Faith 4 Comments

All opinions are mine alone. #TeaProudly #CollectiveBias This Mint Medley Chocolate Pots de Crème recipe yields a velvety smooth dark chocolate custard that makes just two servings for when you need a small-batch sweet treat. When I need a quick dessert that’s every bit as delicious as it is easy, chocolate pudding/custard/mousse is a trick of the trade I like to pull out. It’s perfect for so many reasons....

Almond Butter Chicken Stew with Pineapple-Mint Relish {Whole30}

February 29, 2016 by Faith 16 Comments

Almond Butter Chicken Stew with Pineapple-Mint Relish is a paleo and Whole30 compliant meal! I’ve been making variations of this lovely stew for literally years now. Sometimes I’ll add pineapple right into the stew, and sometimes I’ll sprinkle on a little Vanilla-Scented Toasted Coconut-Cashew Mix on top. Occasionally I’ll skip the greens (but I admit, I much prefer this with greens added!), and if I’m feeling adventurous I’ll use mustard greens, collard greens, or chard instead of kale. No matter what unique twist you put on it, you can’t go wrong with this meal....

Breakfast Pineapple and Pearl Barley Pilaf

September 11, 2015 by Faith 10 Comments

This Breakfast Pineapple and Pearl Barley Pilaf will fuel up your morning! One of the nice things about the change of weather (which hasn’t happened in full force yet here in Northern Virginia, but the temps have definitely started to cool down pleasantly), is that there are less bugs. Now, let me say, although ants in my kitchen are enough to send me into a two-hour cleaning frenzy and I really can’t do camping because of how much I hate the fact that I can never just get clean, bugs never really bothered me much. That is, until I got to Virginia. Here we might […]...

Smoky Lentils with Pomegranate + Mint

May 22, 2013 by Faith 14 Comments

In law school I had a friend who claimed that he had a real archenemy, superhero-style. As in, Batman vs. The Joker or Superman vs. Lex Luther. And he was serious. He said they’d glower at each other every time they had the misfortune of crossing each other’s path, each secretly plotting and scheming terrible things against the other. Not so much violent things, more like things to mind-manipulate or humiliate each other. Bizarre? Maybe. But I’ll admit that law school tends to foster a little bit of bizarre the way a hot day fosters the desire for a cold beverage. Perhaps par for the […]...

Healthy Shamrock Shake {Mint-Flavored Smoothie}

March 15, 2013 by Faith 39 Comments

I’ve never had a real Shamrock Shake, and by “real” I mean one from McDonald’s. Even though my shake is a knock-off, I’m guessing it has more real ingredients than the McDonald’s version… A lover of all things mint, I decided to re-do the Shamrock Shake into a breakfast-worthy meal that’s perfect for St. Patrick’s Day, or any day you want a sweet but healthy start....

Individual Chocolate-Topped Mint Cheesecakes {Healthy Enough for Breakfast}

March 11, 2013 by Faith 23 Comments

In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, I have a quick and easy (naturally) green treat that’s healthy enough for breakfast. Because what’s more fun than green food for breakfast on St. Paddy’s Day? I like to think eating green is as important as wearing green on St. Patrick’s....
