When the temps start to rise, there’s nothing like a quick and cool dessert to round off a meal. Not that I need any excuse to make desserts, but doesn’t this bowl just scream “Spring”?!! I may have let out a little scream of glee when I started spotting this season’s strawberries. In Texas, we…
Sweet Spring Desserts {Strawberry Cupcakes And Coconut Milk Ice Cream}
Now that Spring has officially arrived, I am a happy person. I am so not a winter girl. The bundling up, chapped lips, and cold feet are not for me. Honestly, I shouldn’t even complain about winter because we Texans do not experience a fraction of the difficulties folks up North have to put up…
Sunrise Mocktail
It does look like sunrise in a glass, doesn’t it? I am super excited to share this amazing mocktail with all of you, but first, I must tell you how it came to be. I mentioned in this post that a bunch of us have decided to do a monthly blog post based on a…
Grapefruit Juice {With Ginger Simple Syrup}
I feel grapefruit is a fruit with an identity crisis. It belongs to the citrus family, but cannot seem to make its mind up on which end of the spectrum to belong to, whether to be pucker-worthy tart like limes and lemons or sweet like oranges? So this gorgeous fruit has carved a niche following…
Frozen Greek Yogurt Bark
I am so happy that at least for now, Texas is out of the deep freeze that’s been gripping the nation the past month. I realize not many are as lucky as us, but I have a super simple recipe to cheer you up. And it’s a frozen treat. Don’t hate me, please. It’s absolutely…
Angoor Ka Sharbat {Red Grape Juice Concentrate}
Sharbat (not to be confused with sorbet, a frozen fruit based dessert) is a Persian influenced soft drink concentrate popular in and around the Indian sub-continent. It is said that the Mughal emperors got ice shipped to their palaces from the Himalayas to enjoy cool fruity drinks in the hot Indian summer. Kings and their…
Watermelon Milkshake Granita
Yep, another frozen treat post. This just might be the last one of the season, I promise! I wanted to make watermelon popsicles, then decided upon granita at the very last minute. I have a cantaloupe and honey granita recipe on the blog. Do check it out. When I made that, I prepared a light…
Easy Homemade Coffee Ice Cream With Sugar Waffles
After a fun poll on the blog’s Facebbok page, this coffee ice cream recipe was requested by the most number of readers for the weekend. I guess we are all addicted to coffee in any form! In our house, we love ice cream and we love a simple vanilla flavor (or white ice cream as…
Chilled Beetroot, Tomato & Watermelon Soup {A Summery Borscht}
We’ve been trying to eat as much fresh vegetables and fruits as one possibly can this summer. And it feels good. We’ve also been trying to get our hands on the freshest produce we can. After every visit to the Farmer’s Market, I’m almost tempted to throw together a loaded veggie pizza, but I just…
Creamy Orange Popsicles (Orange Creamsicles)
I just can’t seem to get enough of frozen treats this summer. I am sure none of you are complaining though! Here is another fun combination that is sure to please the OJ lover in your house – creamy orange popsicles or orange creamsicles. These are made using regular bottled orange juice. You can use…
Honey Roasted Peaches And A Sorbet
I’ve been on a frozen dessert roll this summer. I’ve made mango kulfis, blackberry swirled no-churn vanilla ice cream and strawberry popsicles so far. Nothing says summer quite like a cool dessert and no fruit better describes summer here in the South than peaches. The fuzzy yellow-red skin holds the most delicious, juicy flesh within….
Steak & Roasted Vegetable Fajitas With Peach Salsa
I love Tex-Mex cuicine. There is something about flavorful food wrapped into warm tortillas that gets me every time. Every bite of a well-made taco bursts with flavor. We eat tacos at home all the time, sometimes filling them with ridiculous ingredients that is nothing like the traditional stuff. But I’ve never made fajita style…
