It is definitely summer in Seattle, as I sit here in the dark typing this, because even turning on the lights will heat the house up more than I can tolerate at this point. That decision we made 12 years ago to forgo air conditioning comes back to haunt us every year – more and more as our climate seems to be changing.
So what do I crave in the summer? Well, I certainly crave sleeveless dresses. I have way too many in my closet, but as soon as it gets above 80 degrees, that’s what you will find me in. And what am I eating? Well, even in the sweltering heat last summer in Paris – we had cheese at every meal. So this summer, when I am craving cheese – you will definitely find me with these delicious tarts (adapted slightly from Cooking Light) – made with the creamiest yogurt ever – Stonyfield Farm’s organic whole milk greek yogurt – because with mint, it is a wonderful refreshing combination.
prAna so graciously gave me this dress in the photograph, and if you have made it this far in the post – you too can get yourself one of these! This dress fits perfectly, and is so comfortable that I want to wear it everyday. I am such a sucker for soft cotton, and this is exactly what I love to wear. Please leave a comment to be entered into a drawing for a summer prAna dress of your own, and free yogurt coupons! Drawing will take place on June 15th, and I will announce the winner shortly afterwards.

Ingredients
- 3 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons 2% reduced-fat milk
- 2 cups plain Stonyfield Farm’s Organic Whole Milk Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup packed fresh mint leaves
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 ounces reduced-fat feta cheese, crumbled (about 1/2 cup)
- 2 ounces Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled (about 1/2 cup)
- 1 large egg
- 1 egg white
- 12 small fresh mint leaves
Preparation
Preheat oven to 325°.
Combine cornstarch and milk in a small bowl. Place cornstarch mixture, yogurt, mint, rind, pepper, salt, feta, and Gorgonzola in a food processor; pulse to blend. With processor on, add egg and egg white; process until creamy.
Spoon 1/4 cup yogurt mixture into each of 12 small ramekins or custard cups. Bake at 325° for 25 minutes or until tarts are almost set but still slightly wobbly. Turn off heat; leave in oven 5 minutes. Remove from oven; cool 15 minutes. Top each tart with a mint leaf.

First Look, Then Cook 
I love how you integrated the dress into your display. Stonyfield Farms is lucky to have such a passionate and innovative cook as an ambassador!!
Love prana dresses…thanks for sharing this wonderful post.
Looks delicious and can’t wait to try making them!
Yay, so happy to read this! As a yoga instructor and avid rock climber, I love prAna, and am currently LIVING in much of their cute stuffs! My bf and I are on a rock climbing trip across Spain and France (currently at Céüse!), nearing the end of our 2 month vacation, then back home (Vegas!) to the even more ghastly sweltering heat! ;(
Happy to see that you’re lovin’ this company also, aren’t their prints so cute?!
Love your blog and have been following for years!!
Hope to win in the drawing!
Xo, @BrittLynnYoga
looks delicious :) i’d love to try stony field yogurt!
Look’s great. I’ll have to try Stony Field yogurt next time. First time I rented an apartment in Seattle, it happened to have AC. It was a blessing!
Using the dress as the backdrop is so clever. Have a great summer!
