In the garden of gentle sanity may you be bombarded by coconuts of wakefulness. This rhubarb shrub recipe is refreshing and simple and easy. When added to sparkling water or cocktails, a shrub stimulates the appetite, quenches the thirst and provides a quick and energizing pick-me up.
Remove sugar from oven and decrease temperature to 200°. With the mixer running, gradually stream sugar into egg whites. Add salt and beat until stiff peaks form and bowl is barely warm to the touch. (Heads up: This can take as much as 10 minutes with a stand mixer and up to 20 minutes with a handheld mixer.)
Cool down with a fun big-kid treat called a Cosmo-Sicle! It's a mixed drink in a frozen form for the lazy, hazy days of summer! So why did we ever stop having these? Because everyone else started! (For you Sex and the City fans!)
So much chocolate, so little time! This cake is truly a chocolate lover's dream come true... moist, rich chocolate cake, chocolate chips, and fudgy chocolate icing dusted with chocolate shavings. It's an overload of chocolate! I am a self-proclaimed lover of all things chocolate. Seriously, I cannot live without the stuff.
Now that I'm doing this blogging thing full-time, I have been frequenting Whole Foods A LOT more. It's so nice to have time to buy the ingredients I really want, instead of rushing to the grocery store after work and getting whatever is closest!
Ahhhh the steamy days of summer. Looking for a cool, creamy & berrylicious treat? Then these Coconut Raspberry Popsicles are most likely calling you name... Around here we adore berries, popsicles & healthy sweet bites. So these pops fit the mold. Ha! Any mold you wish.
Sometimes there are random ingredients in the house. Ones I've never thought to put together in one recipe. Carrot? Blueberry? Sure ~ why not right? In these Blueberry Carrot Frozen Yogurt Popsicles I use frozen blueberries, carrot juice, thick Greek yogurt. I can safely say that most of us adore everything blueberry...especially in the summer time.

Hi Everyone, I have a special treat for you today! It contains two of my favorite ingredients, chocolate and coconut, oh yah!! After all, those two together makes a wonderful combination, don't you think? Let me get down to it and share with you my recipe for the day, Coconut Clusters!
Here's an easy and fun dessert for your Fourth of July festivites. Other than a trip to the freezer section of your grocery store, it requires minimal effort. For my red, white and blue flavors, I went with raspberry sorbet, coconut gelato and blueberry sorbet, but if you prefer red velvet or blue bubblegum ice cream, go for it.
