If you’ve never tried yogurt parfaits with fruits before, you’re certainly in for a treat! The best thing with this recipe is that it not only tastes delicious, but it’s also refined sugar-free because it’s sweetened only with honey. Moreover, these are probably the easiest, homemade, healthy desserts you’re going to make, since they require no cooking and no mixer or anything else too elaborate. And because they’re actually made of dairy, fruits, honey and granola, you can also have them for breakfast without any guilt.

Funny story. I’ve been eating this dish my entire life without even knowing its’ name. Every time my mom wanted to make us dinner but was short of time, she would ask us if we want an omelet with fried potatoes, and everytime our answer was (of course) yes!

This recipe for balsamic glazed roasted vegetables couldn’t be easier. All you have to do is chop some of your favorite vegetables, roast them in the oven until well caramelized and then coat them with a honey (or maple syrup) and balsamic sauce and continue baking until the sauce becomes a dark and sticky glaze. Just like this honey-balsamic glazed skillet chicken with dried fruits, the balsamic glaze gives a rich and multidimensional character to the dish, making it irresistible. You can also use this sauce for grilled vegetables. Just brush the vegetables with the sauce once or twice a few minutes before you remove them from the grill. Whatever cooking method you choose, this is a delicious, healthy, and low-calorie side dish you can customize by using your favorite seasonal vegetables.

If you ask me, this is the best and creamiest homemade chocolate ice cream. It is a no-churn and no-eggs recipe, with an extra creamy and velvety texture with zero ice crystals and a deep, intense chocolate flavor. Seriously. I just can’t stress enough how creamy and luscious this chocolate ice cream is. And if that’s not enough, you only have to use a pot to briefly cook the mixture (for the cocoa to develop its flavor and the cornstarch to coagulate) and a bowl to store it in the fridge to cool down. After that, you only have to wait a few hours while the ice cream is in the freezer, and then you’ve got yourself the most amazing summer dessert.
