Blackberry Coconut Sorbet. Three ingredients. No dairy. Little sugar. Pure bliss. And? (Come closer…) No ice cream maker needed. I know. It’s pretty awesome. Coconut milk is my favorite non-dairy milk. It’s such a good substitute for cows milk because it’s still super creamy and rich, but then cows milk doesn’t taste like coconut. And […]

Let’s talk about wilted salads. Do you like them or hate them? Does it depend on the leafy green you use? I love wilted salads–just barely cooking the greens with a quick stint in a hot pan or with a warm vinaigrette, or in this case, both. I made my foray into cooking with leafy […]
