Greek Pasta with Tomatoes and White Beans
This was really good. I didn't really follow the recipe, but I really appreciated the idea. I sauteed onions and 3 cloves minced garlic in some balsalmic vinegar. I added half can of diced tomatoes and let simmer for a bit. I thawed some spinach in the microwave and drained. I added half can of navy beans to the tomato sauce and then the spinach. I served over brown rice pasta and sprinkled feta on top. Excellent easy satisfying vegetarian meal. Thanks for the recipe.

Grenadian Spice Cake
I took this to my supper club for latin night. I made it as written except I substituted coconut milk for the regular milk. Also sqeezed a key lime in. Baked for 55 min in a bundt pan and sprinkled with powdered sugar. Was a big hit at the supper club. Nice and moist, pretty dense with a crispy outside. Used the Passion Fruit Mousse recipe as a "topping". I didn't like it together but others did. I think it was great with no topping. I would make this again.

Brazilian Passion Fruit Mousse (Maracuja)
This was slightly addictive. I made this using one can of frozen Old Orchard 100% Juice Apple passion mango juice and omitted the sugar. It was really sweet. Next time, I might double the cream to offset the sweetness. I refridgerated for about 5 hours and it was almost set. I recommend overnight as the others did. Brough to my latin night supper club and everyone loved it. I did use it as "topping" for the Grenadian Spice Cake. Would totally make again experimenting with different frozen juices. Would love to try it as an ice cream. So Easy!!!
