There, they make their own Labneh, and the owner was so kind to let me try some topped with preserved cherries. Here I want to share how I made this dessert at home – I love the simplicity of it, and by using a good quality yogurt makes for a rich and creamy Labneh. Labna, or yogurt cheese, is high in protein and healthy fats and makes the perfect base for this two-ingredient gluten-free cheesecake.

Asparagus Quiche in White Quiche Dish

Have you ever seen how asparagus grows? Being one of the first vegetables of spring, it is justly celebrated by all who are awaiting the new freshness of the year. At Pedrosa’s Asparagus Farm in Cowichan Bay on Vancouver Island, we marvelled at how each individual spearhead pokes itself up from the dirt, commencing its daily journey towards sunlight. We were told that in just one warm day, each spear can grow… and grow… and keep growing until it resembles a 4-foot tree! This Asparagus Crustless Quiche with Cottage Cheese is a celebration of this springtime vegetable, and when combined with high protein cottage cheese it makes for a light spring meal that is also high in protein.
