I love desserts in mini jars! It’s a way to indulge in sweets in a portion-friendly way. It’s so much fun too, like in these mini mint-chocolate brownie sundae jars! Here, I’ve gone with a brownie sundae concept. I chose mint chocolate chip frozen dessert since that’s my favorite flavor. And I made good-for-you brownies with absolutely no added sugars! Altogether, this dessert kind of “healthy-ish!” But there’s no need to tell skeptics that. This dessert-in-a-jar still provides 100% “sweet tooth” satisfaction! Serve for a party. Or, freeze brownie rounds for later and make one jar at a time just for you. Enjoy beyond just as dessert. This recipe makes a scrumptious pick as a post-workout snack!

grilled grapefruit “sundae” with pistachios and basil vinaigrette

In this recipe, they’re halved and brushed with extra-virgin olive oil for grilling to bring out savory notes. Then these caramelized delights are topped with sprinkles of tangy cashew-based cheese, fresh basil vinaigrette, and pistachios. It’s cuisine outside of the normal boundaries … and definitely worth it.
