Cucumber Salsa
FRESH Food is the Best! I don’t think that there is any argument to that. If you had fresh strawberries being put in a blind taste test against thawed strawberries from the freezer, I am sure the fresh ones would win. Or if you had …

Tomato Mushroom Blue Cheese Crostini
I am sure that you are probably always on the lookout for fresh and easy and delicious appetizers. I recently had a bunch of fresh ingredients in the fridge which were nearing the end of their life. Making yummy dishes to start a meal is super easy when you just think about how foods work together.
It all started with a tomato…. Tomatoes could be the start to so many happy endings!! Bruschetta is a favorite appetizer around here, but I couldn’t go with our regular tomato bruschetta because I also had some blue cheese which had been opened for a few days and needed to get used while still in its peak of life. Blue Cheese pairs perfectly with mushrooms (and bacon – but didn’t have any of that at home on this day, feel free to crumble some bacon into this).

Strawberry Banana “Ice Cream”
Have you made Mock Ice Cream from Bananas yet? If you haven’t, then YOU ARE MISSING OUT! I am telling you – this is magical! Frozen bananas whip up in the food processor to make a dairy-free, delicious, & healthy “Ice Cream” treat! Happy Healthy Faux-Cream…
By taking any banana when it is nice and ripe and throwing it in a food processor for a few minutes you can make an absolutely delicious fake ice-cream. If you are not a fan of bananas, you can still enjoy this treat because something about this freezing and whipping process makes the banana flavor almost disappear! You can even make your favorite flavors by just tossing it in toward the end of the whipping process (chocolate powder, nutella, or peanut butter are some of my favorite additions).
After Strawberry Picking last week, I decided to whip up (literally) some Strawberry-Banana Frozen Whip. Continue reading Strawberry Banana “Ice Cream”
