Nancy'sSimple Healthy Dessert Recipe

While sacrifice- those Little Debbie's and Ho-Ho's need the heave-ho- is a trademark of a

healthy lifestyle, that sacrifice doesn't have to be all doom and gloom.

Herbs and tahini dressing, it doesn't get much better than that for people like me who love

Middle-Eastern flavors, so I know I'd love Gina's Herb Salad with Tahini Dressing from The

Daily Dietribe. (All phases for South Beach Diet.)

When you shop, watch for all kinds of Kosher for Passover products made with potato starch

instead of flour. Good products include potato starch noodles, potato starch cake mixes,

Passover cereals made without wheat, and even frozen foods like potato starch pizza crusts,

blintzes, waffles and knishes. Potato Pancakes or latkes, are another product in a box mix

that is fun to make at this time of year, and can easily be made from scratch recipes instead,

using any kind of potato or sweet potato or even spaghetti squash!

I tested this recipe with a bunch of different ingredients but this combo was my favorite so I

hope your taste buds find it fabulous, as well! I love homemade breakfasts like this because

they’re so easy to make, last forever when stashed in the fridge and tastes amazing with

almond milk yogurt and a drizzle of sweet honey. These sundae’s have been a staple with

my clients for awhile now- they seem to go through breakfast stages (as do I) where they’ll

eat a certain recipe every day for months and then will move on. They’re on this Sundae kick

now so we’ll see how long this lasts! But the fun thing about this recipe is that it really can’t

get boring because there are so many variations that you can add in and play around with-

you can try some coconut flakes or ground flax seeds for instance.

Chickpeas. Curry. Mayo. Celery. Lemon. Cilantro. If you know my tastebuds at all, you can

see how much this Curried Chickpea Salad from The cooking Adventures of Chef Paz would

appeal to me. There is only the tiniest bit of mayonnaise, but I'm guessing it makes a lot of

difference. (This would be all phases for the South Beach Diet, but for phase one portion size

on dried beans is limited to 1/3 - 1/2 cup, so I'd probably eat it for phase 2 or 3.)

This Wheatberry Salad with Zucchini and Mozzarella from Eats Well with Others is another

one where I just had to read the ingredients to know it would be a hit. If you need a gluten-

free variation, I think brown rice would be good in this as well. And when you go to get the

recipe, be sure to congratulate the talented Joanne who's well on her way to becoming a

doctor! (This would be phase 2 or 3 for the South Beach Diet.)

Blend the cream cheese, butter and vanilla with a mixer until well combined and smooth.

Slowly and a little at a time, add the powdered sugar, sifted after measuring, on a low speed

until all sugar is added and there is no danger of flying out of the bowl when the mixer is on a

high setting. dessert recipes
