We’re currently traveling through sunny Florida, and I’m inspired by some of the local flavors and produce. Fresh avocados and mangos grow right here in people’s backyards, and there is a good selection of fresh fish and seafood. This dish is my interpretation of a tropical Florida inspired dish with fresh fish, mango, avocados, key lime juice, and chilies.
This recipe is inspired by a very good friend of mine who came to our house one day with the most awesome vegan dark chocolate mousse. The fluffy texture was outstanding. Based on her recipe, I tried to create a white chocolate mousse. It took me a few tries until I got it right, but the following recipe is the perfect outcome. It’s quick, easy, and very delicious!
Homemade Pesto is a very easy and quick flavor highlight for a delicious meal. For this pesto, I used arugula instead of basil because it creates a nice peppery and nutty flavor. You can serve it with any kind of pasta, meat, or vegetables. For example, recently I served it as a carb-free meal with zucchini noodles and lots of parmesan on top. It was so delicious and light. Grilled prawns or chicken would nicely accompany it as well.
Savoy cabbage is not something that I’ve cooked much in the past, not because I don’t like it, mostly because it’s not been top of my mind. Since I’m trying to leave out carbs in our day-to-day food, I’ve been looking for ingredients to substitute in my meals for a healthier living. That’s when savoy cabbage came back to my mind, and I looked around for different ways of cooking it. I found interesting recipes that filled and rolled the cabbage, but often with rice or similar. The following recipe is my carb-free modification. I served it to my friends and they liked it very much. My husband also liked it, but in his opinion, a bit more of the spices could have been added. Feel free to add more of the spices or substituted them with different flavors. I think you can go very creative with this recipe.
Especially after a long and cold winter, it’s important to boost your body with vitamins to help support a healthy metabolism for a fresh start into beautiful spring weather. Therefore, the combination of ginger and lemon is perfect. Your immune system will thank you if you start drinking this power smoothie regularly.
