One of my all time favorite things to do, is go through pinterest. I just love beautiful photos, and boy does pinterest deliver in that area! The thing is you really have to go through lots of trashy and commercial stuff, until you get to the really good photos. But this week I strack gold!…

Pistachio Cream Puffs
My new, and hopefully soon ending obsession to pistachio nuts, is raising it’s head in a new recipe. It’s all about puffs!! Which I am crazy for. And the pistachio filling is a real twist to the classic cream puffs. This is one of the most simplest recipes, it’s very easy and quick to make….
Chocolate Pistachio Mousse cups
Have you noticed I have a small obsession for pistachio nuts lately? I can’t explain it, maybe it’s because they’re so good for us, maybe it’s because I just like the way they taste. But I am really obsessed, I put them in everything from hamantashen to salads and now this great vegan dessert. This…
The Best Low Fat Cheesecake
In Israel you have 3 days of certain Jewish festivals every the year. One of those days is SHAVUOT. Now, I am not a big fan of orthodox religion, but I do consider myself a person of faith. The costumes of this holiday is eating lots and lots of dairy products and first fruits, and I don’t know…
Quinoa & Broccoli Salad
Whenever I feel like I may have went a little overboard with my weekly chocolate consumption, I try to balance it with a weekends of greens and salads. Lately I’ve been cooking more and more quinoa, I guess that since it’s so easy to cook and incorporate in any meal or dish, I developed a…
LOW FAT CHEESE PUFFS
I have been dreaming about making cream puffs for weeks. I was even going to make them this week, but since we’ve been watching our sweet consumption this week. I decided to make savory puffs instead, don’t get me wrong I do know that eating cheese puffs is eating carbs. But mind you that I…
Chocolate Covered Peaches and Nectarine
Yeaaaeeeee it’s finally peach season! I don’t know where you live or what’s going on in your farmers market, but here in Israel summer fruits are all over. I love summer fruits as much as I love chocolate, maybe even more. Peaches in specific are my favorite summer fruits, they are so sweet and refreshing,…
Three Layered Chocolate Cake with Vanilla Wipped Cream and Cherries
I know, I know this blog is supposed to be all about healthy recipes. And I can’t lie to you, there’s nothing healthy about this three layered chocolate cake with wipe cream filling and cherries. But boy, my soul feels a little bite healthier after eating a slice of this one. Really, how can anyone say…
Tomato Radish Quinoa Salad
Last week was very busy, and lets face it not that healthy. After eating cakes and meat for tow all days, it was “yom aatzmaut” (Israels independence day), this week had to be balanced with better and healthier choices. For me it’s all about balance, so this week I made lots of great salads and…
Swiss Chard Fritters
In the past few weeks I have been ….. well there isn’t a single word to describe it. I was preoccupied, distracted, “not here” and the worse thing is, I was all over and no where at the same time. Some times I just get lost in my work, I mean having a ton of unfinished…
Sweet Potato Noodles with Spinach
A few weeks ago I bought a spiralizer, I love it. In fact, I love it so much that I’ve been spiralizing everything within my reach. I spiralize kohlrabi, zucchinis, carrots, cucumbers, thinking about it… If I can fit it in to my new toy, it will probably most defiantly will get spiralized (is that…
GREEN PEA AND GINGER DIP
Finding the perfect formula for hosting a good party is not an easy task. As our friends get pickier (a.k.a snobbish) with there food choices and develop there unique taste buds, it gets even harder. I have to consider each and everyone’s specific request. This one has allergies, the other one has a strict diet regime and one of our…
