Chocolate-Peanut Butter Gelato
The original recipe called for heavy cream and egg yolks. This is my attempt to lighten it a little. The photo is of the gelato base.
Oatmeal Energy Balls
I am a vegetarian and love to eat these oatmeal energy balls before I go to the gym. Sometimes I like to add extra whole peanuts to the recipe. Substitute ¼ cup dark chocolate chips for the raisins if desired. If you want to eat them on the go, wrap them in waxed paper and tie with a bread tie. Enjoy!
Spicy Thai Peanut Noodles
This Thai peanut noodle dish is a delicious recipe with just the right amount of heat. It's simple to prepare but requires a bit of organization while assembling/cooking because it goes quickly. Preparing your ingredients beforehand is key. For vegetarians, you can make this without the chicken and fish sauce, and it tastes just as good. Serve hot. You could also garnish this with chopped unsalted peanuts.
