A light frozen coffee drink that is easily adaptable. I have substituted Starbucks® Via™ ready-made for the espresso shots and I sometimes add a handful of chocolate chips to the blender.

Quesadilla Burgers
This is a great twist on the hamburger that everyone is sure to love! It’s a combination of southwest and the classic American hamburger. I have three kids who all eat very differently from one another and this was a hit for them as well as hubby! I like to serve these with either sweet potato fries or green bean fries!
Frozen Hot Chocolate
A perfect treat for those hot summer days. The kids love it cause it’s like Christmas in June, July, or August. To make it look even more like hot chocolate, serve with whipped cream and chocolate shavings.
Chef John’s Classic Macaroni Salad
Whether it’s sitting next to some smoky ribs or just a humble hot dog, this deli-style macaroni salad will always be a crowd-favorite, as long as you pay attention to a few key details.
Chai Limeade
Get ready to spice up your summer with this extraordinary flavor combination even your kids will love. Sweet, tart, spicy, exotic and so easy to make. Great for brunches, pool-side, or sitting reading a book. Healthy and flavorful. Serve over ice in coffee mugs for a feel of exotica!
Fresh Turmeric Paste
This homemade paste made of fresh turmeric root, ginger, coconut oil, and pepper mix together quickly and refrigerated or frozen for use in many dishes and beverages as is or in addition to herbs and spices or to create curry pastes.

Healthy, energy-packed, honey-sweetened, gluten-free bars. Great as breakfast bar or snack!
Perfect Grilled Tofu
This recipe is very easy to double, though you don’t need quite double the marinade: About 1 1/2 times the marinade is perfect for four packages of tofu.
Sandy’s Chicken Saltimbocca
Try this and you’ll know why they call it saltimbocca-Italian for ‘jump in your mouth.’ It’s kind of like it jumps right off of your plate. Though it’s traditionally made with veal, I made it with chicken. Quick, easy, and so delicious!
Maple-Lemon Tofu
A version of this recipe circulates online as Matthew’s Delicious Tofu. It has ginger and less lemon. I like it better the way I make it. It’s one of the few dishes where I use lemon juice but not the zest. I’m not really going for the lemon flavor as much as the tartness. In fact, you could use rice vinegar instead if that’s what you’ve got.
Teddy Bear Hot Tub S’Mores
Mini teddy bears chill out in toasted marshmallow hot tubs filled with super-easy chocolate bourbon ganache and edged in graham cracker crumbs. If these sassy s’mores don’t own your party, you’re not having enough fun.
Creamy Banana Strawberry Split Smoothie
My creamy banana strawberry split smoothie is filled with protein and chia seeds for a great healthy drink! Go outside in a nice comfy chair, sit back, and enjoy!
Healthy Cocoa, Banana, PB Smoothie
This recipe is ideal for a post-workout protein drink, or afternoon pick-me-up. No supplemental protein mix needed!
Vegan Double Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Cake
This was an experiment that I made for myself on my 1 year anniversary of going vegan, and it turned out awesome. Very moist and chocolaty! Feel free to substitute other non-dairy milks.
