Honey Roasted Plums with Almond

August 20, 2015 By faith 1 Comment

This super simple recipe for Honey Roasted Plums with Almond brings out the fruit’s natural sweetness and really lets it shine.

Not long ago, Mike went through a phase where he was bringing home a couple pounds of plums at least every other day. I like plums well enough, but they’re really not one of my favorite summer fruits (because of the existence of things like cherries and peaches). The issue then becomes how to eat roughly 8 to 10 pounds of plums per week. (My hubby is the type who thinks every time he goes through a particular food phase I want to join him.)…

These Banana Chai Popsicles combine the natural sweetness of banana with the aromatic spices of chai for a unique, refreshing popsicle.

This Mini Frozen Peach Coconut Cream Pie with Almond Crust is like lusciously rich and creamy ice cream cake…and it’s naturally-sweetened, grain-free, and gluten-free!

If you’ve been reading either of my blogs for any length of time, you may know that I fall in the chocolate camp when it comes to dessert.

This little pie was worth it….

Roasted Balsamic-Black Pepper Cherries with Coconut Cream

July 2, 2015 By faith 2 Comments

Cherry season is a short-lived summer treat and this recipe for Roasted Balsamic-Black Pepper Cherries with Coconut Cream is a great way to make the most of it!

Undoubtedly, the best way to eat fresh cherries is as-is. But there comes a point when your hands are stained red, your counter is full of juice splatter marks, and in place of a two-pound bag of cherries there’s just a pile of pits and stems. You still can’t stop buying fresh cherries though (their season is just too short-lived!), but you’re ready to branch out.

Roasted Balsamic-Black Pepper Cherries with Coconut Cream comes in mighty handy at that point….
