Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries

Cheesecake stuffed strawberries are a fun, tasty dessert. The strawberries aren’t stuffed with real cheesecake, but – in this recipe – with a mixture of cream cheese, honey and vanilla. For the prettiest presentation, pick large, firm strawberries.
Ingredients
  • 1 lb. fresh strawberries
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 oz raw pistachios (or any other raw nut)

Stuffed Poblano Peppers


Ingredients
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil for the pan
  • 4 medium poblano peppers (1 lbs. total weight including refuse, 12 oz. cleaned )
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 medium tomatoes, diced (10 oz.)
  • ½ medium onion, diced (4 oz.)
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded (10 oz.)
  • 1 cup part skim mozzarella, shredded (4 oz.)
  • ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • ½ cup cheddar, shredded (2 oz.)

Chocolate Covered Mint Leaves





Yummy! Looks so refreshing!

Chocolate covered mint leaves make an incredibly unique, fresh-tasting dessert. This is mostly for grownups – the kids tend to be less appreciative of the natural mint flavor.
