Mango Mint Cooler

July 23, 2013

IMG_6314

The heat wave has finally broken here in NYC! What used to be 95+° weather daily last week has now plunged to near-frigid 85-ish temperatures this week- can you believe how lucky we are? 🙂

Disgusting humidity and insane heat aside, I’m really enjoying this summer. Wedding preparations are going swimmingly so far (knock on wood), I’ve been knocking a lot off my to-do list, and I’m getting ready to go on a long weekend trip to Montreal on Friday! As you may know, I lived in Montreal for 3 years during undergrad, and I LOVE going back as much as I am able to.

Montreal is a foodie haven for me- between the smoked meat sandwiches at Schwartz’s, authentic Lebanese fast food at Boustan, and (of course!) the bangin’ plates of poutine at La Banquise, I never leave hungry (or any skinnier) after my visits!  It is one of my favorite cities on Earth, and I really can’t wait to go back in a few days!

But if you’re sticking around here this weekend, and are dying for a good way to beat the heat, look no further. Frozen mangoes, fresh mint, and cool almond milk blend together for a delicious icy concoction that helps keep you cool and tastes amazing to boot.

Vietnamese-Style Beef Salad with Mint

August 16, 2011

Vietnamese-style Beef Salad

Yesterday, my company had its first Iron Chef-style food competition. The secret ingredient: Mint.

Now I have to admit, I’m not a huge fan of cooking with mint. To me, its the red-headed step-child of herbs that I’m likely to buy for savory dishes. Blame it on too much mint-chocolate chip ice cream, but in my mind, mint belongs in desserts, toothpaste and chewing gum alone.

However, since I am unable to resist a challenge and am addicted to the adrenaline rush of a good workplace culinary competition of any kind, I decided to participate. [Read more…]
