Would you look at that beauty? This easy tart recipe comes from my friend Ali’s new cookbook, Inspiralized & Beyond, and I think you should make it for Mother’s Day.
Her recipe is brilliant—the base is made simply with Medjool dates and pecans. It’s like a Larabar is crust form! After a 10-minute freeze, she spreads Greek yogurt and fresh fruit on top. I’m not a fancy baker, so if I can make this tart, I’m confident that you can, too.
Ali is known for her creative spiralized recipes (think zucchini noodles), and her newest book branches out by offering fun ways to “spiralize, chop, rice and mash” your vegetables into creative meals.
I’m excited to try out her apple French toast (made with apple slices instead of toast), sweet potato skin nachos, hearts of palm “ceviche,” Mediterranean zucchini pasta salad, portobello bulgogi bowls and more. The book isn’t vegetarian, but she devoted an entire chapter to vegetarian mains and I love that!

So, now that we’ve conquered our fear of fennel (I mean, seriously, what do you do with this ridiculous-looking licorice bomb?), it’s time to move into uncharted, even more delicious territory: salads.
This salad is, in a word, irresistible. We dare you to take just one bite. Let us show you how this 30-minute side or entrée is made!
This start of this salad show is the fennel – curry–roasted fennel to be exact.

An easy Horchata recipe so you can make this delicious, refreshing, and healthy drink at home – perfect for Cinco De Mayo!
With Cinco De Mayo coming up around the corner, I have a delicious horchata recipe for you to enjoy.
I have such a fondness for horchata. I just love the creamy, cool, soothing feeling I get when I drink a horchata. It’s like tasty rice milk, but with cinnamon and other goodness.
Oddly enough, I had never really thought about making it for the longest time. But, for some reason, it felt like it was was calling to me, after all these years.
Recipes like this make me realize just how many foods and drinks are out there that can be made easily and well at home. Once you break down that barrier and realize it’s something that can be made from scratch, everything opens up.
So, what is in a Mexican horchata? All the ingredients you really need are some rice, milk, cinnamon sticks and water. See? I told you it was crazy simple.
In order to make horchata at home, you will either need some cheesecloth on hand or a very fine mesh sieve to remove the tiny pieces of rice that sneak through the fine mesh sieve. Otherwise, you probably have everything you need in your kitchen right now.
Oh, and be sure to let the rice soak in the water for at least 8-10 hours, preferably overnight, to get the tasty horchata flavor. It’ll still work if you only let it sit for a few hours, but the flavor won’t be nearly as rich.
Unfortunately, many horchata recipes usually call for condensed milk and refined sugar. In typical ASPC fashion, I’ve chosen to make my horchata with 100% whole foods, so you get all creamy, tasty, and refreshing flavors without the empty calories.
I use unsweetened almond milk, which makes this horchata recipe vegan, too. And that pure vanilla extract adds a nice caramel sweetness to the horchata. Oh yes.
Is Horchata good for you?While it tastes like dessert, Mexican horchata is healthier than you think. Dairy-free and made with naturally-sweet ingredients, like cinnamon, vanilla, and rice, this beverage is actually a decent source of several minerals. While it’s still a sweetened drink so it is more of a treat than a normal thing, it’s perfectly good for you to drink and enjoy the festivities — assuming you make your own homemade horchata recipe.
Try it out for yourself and enjoy a refreshing Mexican horchata at home for Cinco De Mayo!
Or, you know, tonight…whatever works 🙂
