Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 ½ cups crushed hazelnuts (or hazelnut flour)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup caramel sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine crushed hazelnuts, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until well combined.
  3. Press the hazelnut mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a tart pan to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then allow it to cool.
  4. In a medium saucepan, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to whip until stiff peaks form.
  6. Gently fold the melted chocolate into the whipped cream until fully incorporated, taking care not to deflate the mixture.
  7. Pour the chocolate mousse into the cooled tart crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
  8. Before serving, drizzle the tart with caramel sauce and garnish with additional crushed hazelnuts if desired. Cut into slices and enjoy!

Notes

Tip: Make the tart a day ahead to enhance the flavors and allow the mousse to set perfectly.

For a nut-free version, you can substitute hazelnuts with pecans or walnuts in the crust. If you want to add an extra touch of flavor, consider incorporating a splash of espresso into the chocolate mousse.

Store any leftover tart in the refrigerator, covered, for up to three days. Reheat the caramel gently in a saucepan before serving if you’d like to refresh its silky texture.

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 medium butternut squash, peeled and diced
  • 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon minced ginger (for crunch topping)
  • 2 tablespoons panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent.
  2. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the diced butternut squash and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the squash is tender, about 20 minutes.
  5. Add the coconut milk, salt, and pepper, and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  6. For the ginger crunch, heat sesame oil in a small pan. Add minced ginger and panko breadcrumbs, sauté until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes.
  7. Serve the soup warm, garnished with the ginger crunch and fresh cilantro.

Notes

Tip: For added flavor, sprinkle some toasted pumpkin seeds on top before serving. They add a nice crunch and nutty taste!

For an extra depth of flavor, consider roasting the butternut squash before blending it into the soup. This caramelizes the sugars in the squash, enhancing its sweetness.

If you prefer a milder soup, reduce the amount of ginger in the base, and adjust the crunch topping to your taste. You can also substitute the coconut milk with almond milk for a lighter version, though it will change the overall creaminess.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stove over low heat, adding a splash of vegetable broth if it thickens too much.

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 medium eggplants
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 tablespoons tandoori spice mix
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Cut the eggplants in half lengthwise and scoop out some flesh to create a boat. Brush the insides with olive oil and season with salt. Roast in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes until tender.
  3. While the eggplants are roasting, rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a saucepan, bring vegetable broth to a boil, add quinoa, and cook according to package instructions until fluffy, about 15 minutes.
  4. In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion and garlic until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  5. Add the diced tomatoes, tandoori spice mix, black pepper, and the reserved eggplant flesh (chopped). Cook for another 5 minutes until everything is well combined and heated through.
  6. Stir in the cooked quinoa and cilantro into the mixture, adjust seasoning if needed.
  7. Stuff the roasted eggplant halves with the quinoa mixture, packing it gently. Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes.
  8. In a small bowl, mix the yogurt with lemon juice and a pinch of salt to create a drizzle. Serve the stuffed eggplants warm, topped with the yogurt drizzle.

Notes

Tip: For extra depth of flavor, try adding a pinch of smoked paprika to the quinoa mixture before stuffing the eggplant.

To enhance the flavor, allow the stuffed eggplants to sit for 10-15 minutes before serving, letting the spices meld together. This dish pairs well with a side of naan or a fresh salad.

For a gluten-free option, ensure the yogurt is certified gluten-free. You can also substitute the quinoa with couscous or a grain of your choice for a different texture.

Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for best results, maintaining the lovely texture of the eggplant.

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup fresh basil pesto
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko)
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 8 ounces fresh mozzarella, sliced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil spray or drizzle

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
  3. Spread a generous layer of pesto over each chicken breast, ensuring an even coating.
  4. In a shallow dish, mix the breadcrumbs and grated parmesan cheese together.
  5. Press each pesto-coated chicken breast into the breadcrumb mixture, coating both sides thoroughly.
  6. Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray or drizzle with olive oil.
  7. Bake for 20 minutes, then remove from the oven and top each breast with slices of fresh mozzarella.
  8. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  9. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving, garnished with extra basil if desired.

Notes

Tip: Serve with a side of pasta or a simple green salad for a complete meal.

For the best texture, make sure to let the chicken rest after baking for a few minutes before slicing. This helps the juices redistribute. If you don’t have fresh mozzarella, you can use shredded mozzarella, but fresh adds a wonderful creaminess.

Feel free to customize the pesto! You can use store-bought or make your own using basil, garlic, nuts, olive oil, and parmesan. Leftover chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.

Leftover chimichurri can be stored in the fridge for up to a week and works great as a dressing for salads or a marinade for other proteins. Reheat any leftover shrimp gently to avoid overcooking.

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon dried culinary lavender
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • Honey maple syrup for serving

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, lavender, and sugar until well combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix the milk, egg, and melted butter together until smooth.
  3. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined; do not overmix. Gently fold in the blueberries.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and grease lightly with butter or oil.
  5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Remove from skillet and keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter.
  7. Serve warm, drizzled with honey maple syrup. Enjoy!

Notes

Tip: Use fresh blueberries whenever possible for the best flavor. You can also add a sprinkle of powdered sugar on top for a sweet finish.

For optimal fluffiness, avoid overmixing the batter; a few lumps are okay. If you can’t find culinary lavender, you can substitute with a little bit of vanilla extract for a different flavor profile.

Leftover pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster or microwave before serving. These pancakes also freeze well; just pop them in the toaster directly from the freezer for a quick breakfast option!
