More About BINEMELLES

One of my favorite pasta recipes – not exactly low-fat but full of good, heart-healthy fats.

Provide quick energy whenever you're running out of steam, or after a hard workout when you need a quick fix for your blood sugar. They are NOT low-cal, they are intended as a snack to tend you over when you don't have time to prepare something. Full of fiber and healthy fats they do the trick.

This is a great way to lighten up your pasta dish, and to add more veggies into your day. Might be a good way to "sell" those veggies to your pasta-loving kids, too.

This bread is typically made with beet molasses in Germany, but any other kind of dark molasses or blackstrap will do.

I'm calling these "European" Pancakes as opposed to the ones i have come to know as American Pancakes, because mine are thin and about 8" in diameter, instead of small, thick and fluffy.
They are known all over Europe, the French call them Crepe, the Dutch Pannenkoeken and the Austrians and Czech Palatschinken.
They can be sweet or hearty - i add apple slices for my favourites.

A refreshing middle eastern salad that gets its zing from the fresh mint leaves. I know this is very similar to another recipe on sparkrecipes.com, but i found this dish calls for lemon juice instead of balsamic vinegar.
