Sangria Popsicles
So there’s this trend out there right now where people turn their favorite boozy concoctions into popsicles and stuff. I’m not really one to follow trends just because they’re popular (the elementary school lesson of “What is right is not always popular; what is popular is not always right,” YOU GUYS)… but this trend? It is so, so right. And in these waning summer days (sniffle), I’m not about to let this fad go down without a few... Read More ›

Stone Fruit Paletas

Stone Fruit Paletas
These might look like normal ice pops to you, but there’s a world of difference between normal freezer pops and paletas. Technically, paleta is just the Spanish word for frozen treat, and they do look very similar to many frozen pop brands. The difference is many American ice pops are mainly water-based and have a pretty high sugar content. Basically, they’re frozen flavored water. Meanwhile, paletas tend to be way more substantial and... Read More ›

Guava Daiquiris
I am lucky enough to live in a city where I have access to a wide variety of tropical fruit. I think Tablespoon has decided to exploit this fact, because they keep asking me to come up with recipes for new fruits! I am totally ok with this. In fact, I love everything about it! From the journey to the ethnic market hoping to find the right fruit, to the unveiling at home and trying to figure out just how to get at the good stuff inside, it’s... Read More ›

Blueberry Lemon Lavender Mojito
Want a cocktail that is gorgeous to look at, as well as drink? Well, I definitely have one for you! My Blueberry Lemon Lavender Mojito is beautiful to look at, and goes down quite easily, if-I-do-say-so-myself. I have made this drink recipe many, many, times JUST to make sure that it is perfect for you. That is what I tell myself anyway. This drink is heavenly – herbal, fresh, and lemony. I love a mojito. I love fresh mint. A drink that has... Read More ›

How to Grill Fruit
Your barbecue grill is good for more than just charring up racks of ribs – you can make dessert with it, too. You've probably already broken in your grill for the season, busting out some ribs, chicken or perhaps even a steak or two. But get your mind off the butcher for a minute and think about how to use your grill to bring out the best in this season's fruit. If hot fruit doesn't immediately appeal to you, just think about the caramelize... Read More ›

Strawberry-Banana Breakfast Quinoa

Strawberry-Banana Breakfast Quinoa
I’m always looking for a healthy breakfast that's easy to cook and doesn't bore my taste buds. On top of that, I happen to be car-less for the month of June, so I need all the protein I can get in the morning for the long bike commute to work! This breakfast was exactly what I needed.  Quinoa is filled with protein, but it’s much healthier than eating a couple of eggs because you don’t get all that saturated fat and cholesterol. On...

Lemon-Lime Souffles
It is my life’s goal to be Martha Stewart. OK, just kidding! But I do love her recipes. So when mine eyes got a gander at a recipe for cute little lemon soufflés in lemon cups (SO creative! How do she and her team of crafty cohorts do it??), I knew it had to be mine, in my own kitchen, right then and there (I’m a bit impatient when it comes to Martha Stewart recipes. And dessert.). So I got my Martha on and made ya’ll a super-sweet... Read More ›

Cran-Orange Coconut White Chocolate Pie
This time of year, food blogs, food TV, food magazines – pretty much food media of all types – become obsessed with cranberries. Oh sure, sage, Brussels sprouts and squash all get some attention, but cranberries are the true hero of the season. Being a lover of sour pies like cherry and gooseberry, I thought cranberries would be the perfect fit for a tasty and tart dessert. While I was planning out this recipe in my head, I went to a late... Read More ›

Apple-Ginger Fruit Leather
If there’s a shortcut or a more convenient route when it comes to recipes, I’m all for it. But if I’ve got the time and I’m in the mood for making something homemade – even if it’s readily available at the grocery store – I’ll do that, too, especially if it renders flavors I can’t necessarily find anywhere else. This Apple-Ginger Fruit Leather is one example. While I have absolutely loved Fruit Roll-Ups ever since I could wi... Read More ›
