Nutty Banana Bowl

A snack that's easy to put together, filling and delicious.

Despite the simple preparation, this is an incredibly versatile snack. It can be had as part of your breakfast, a treat after lunch or a dessert after supper and you're sure to enjoy it either way.

You'll always start with a banana and add walnuts (or your favorite nuts or seeds) on top. A good snack always is a mix of at least 2 food groups. This time we're combining a fruit and a protein choice, for a long-lasting effect.

You'll then have a few choices to customize your bowl.

Add berries for a more refreshing, lighter snack - or cocoa powder for a chocolatey, more decadent treat. If you opt for the latter, consider going with a more ripe banana and mashing it with a fork - for a more pudding like final texture.

Add both and you'll have an entire new dessert.

Buddha’s Delight

A culinary delight passed on from the Buddhist monks.

Balancing stir fried tofu cubes and colorful vegetables, this dish has transitioned from being a staple of Buddhist temples to being popular in Chinese households and now all over the world.

Our variation combines broccoli and cauliflower, onion, carrots, snow peas and green onions, however the original dish often has more than 10 different vegetables. You can choose to do the same (especially if cooking for more people and using a bigger pot) and also add your favorite vegetables instead of the one we suggested.

Having different colored vegetables and only cooking them until they are tender and bright will ensure your plate will look drop-dead gorgeous. Keep in mind that different colored vegetables are more likely to provide you with a higher variety of nutrients, while darker colored vegetables tend to be more nutritious.
