Lemon and Lime Sorbet Recipe

I love desserts but they are guilty treat. To satisfy my sweet tooth, so do my little princesses, I have to figure out something healthier. Making fresh fruits sorbet at home for less than a minute using Vitamix (loving my new toy), it tastes incredibly refreshing and delicious, even have health benefits that come along. Lemons and limes contain Vitamin C, calcium, magnesium and lot of minerals and antioxidants that good for our health and skin. It can also use for household cleaning and remove odor. I added half a banana in the recipe to reduce the amount of agave/ simple syrup needed. At the same time, it boosts the health benefit a little with this high potassium fruit.

Cantaloupe Smoothie Recipe

This is my first smoothie made with Vitamix, my hubby bought a sweet cantaloupe, yogurt and a lot of fruits for me to try out the new machine. He is just as excited to play with the blender or I should say enjoying the drinks and food from it. For a well trained home cook who always have to cook with random and not at all go together ingredients (guess who train me for that?), I put this smoothie together as a tester and thought it should taste good. Thanks for all these trainings, it turned out just the way I like it – refreshing and sweet. I will definitely buy some more cantaloupes next time they are on sale, cube them and freeze them, so I always have some on hand for this yummy drink. By the way, this is a healthy drink, cantaloupe provides lot of antioxidants, vitamins and carrots are good for eyes. Something tastes good and actually good for you – priceless.

Hong Kong Style – Peanut Butter Sauce Recipe

Hong Kong style peanut butter sauce is very essential to my favorite street food – rice noodles (Recipe here). Actually, it should be sesame sauce but for cost and efficiency reasons, most places (or all) only serve you peanut butter sauce. If you ever find someone serve the real sesame sauce made with real sesame seeds, you are in luck and probably should go buy a lottery ticket. This sauce is so simple and easy to made, I almost want to put it in the rice noodles recipe and call it a day. However, I do like my recipes sorted nicely in the blog, so here you go.
