When I was little my mother used to make this dish as a quick dessert. I am partial to this spiced fruit mishmash being served with French vanilla soy ice cream, but you could easily pair it with fresh whipped cream or just eat it alone. In the summer feel free to use fresh fruits,…

Avocado Pie
First off this is not a savory dish. This is 100% dessert – luxury dessert. Avocado pie is easy to make and if you like me LOVE avocado you’ll kick yourself for not making it sooner. I’m from California, it would seem like a sin to not love avocados. Mixing them into a sweet pie,…
Marshmallow Popcorn

When I was little my mom used to make sour cream peach ice cream with peaches we picked from our orchard. By orchard I do mean a real one. Not just one random peach tree in the back yard. But an orchard of multiple peach trees nestled in the middle of a 50 acre working…
