Place the mango chunks, banana, and mango juice into a food processor and process until smooth. Add the frozen yogurt and lemon juice and continue to process until well combined. Transfer the mixture into the frozen insert of a commercial ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer's instructions.
These are adapted from the Smitten Kitchen Cookbook by Deb Perelman. They're rich, fluffy pancakes, and the peach slice perched atop each cake caramelizes a bit and softens sweetly as it cooks. Do be sure to put the pancakes in the oven as you finish them, otherwise they might not cook through.
Aguas frescas, or "fresh waters," are light, cooling fruit drinks so magically refreshing it's clear why they're the unofficial thirst-quencher of Latin America. In their purest form, agua frescas are simply blended fruit, water, and a little lime - the essence of summer fruit, sipped through a straw.
I have two goals on hot summer days: stay hydrated and eat as much fruit as I can. Agua frescas are the perfect solution to both goals. Lately I've been whipping up these fruit juice blends every week, and so far, this vanilla nectarine version has to be my favorite.
A thick slice of lemon pound cake and a cup of strong coffee is one of my favorite things on earth. It's the perfect afternoon snack, and if I had my way, it's what I'd have in front of me every day around 3 p.m.
And oh so much more! Tons and tons of fruit. Chopped and lovely and just screaming of summer. Also, a triple berry sauce. Made in 15 minutes. Eaten in five seconds. Isn't that how it always goes? And fresh mint. Helllllllo bowl of my dreams. I've always really loved fruit - especially more than vegetables, obviously.
Our 4th of July ended up being a quiet day, just the two of us. Jack grilled up some stuffed mushrooms & poblanos and then whipped together this juicy little dessert. We have a new annual tradition - which is not the 4th of July - but rather the annual "Jack cooks because Jeanine's hand is all busted up from trying to break up yet another dog fight."
This is my very first pancake post. I either feel late to the game, or like I'm earning some right of blog passage. The truth is, I'd gone the last few years not eating pancakes. Let me back up. I spent a lot of years eating a LOT of pancakes...
Want to know the best thing about semifreddo? It's basically a no-churn ice cream recipe, but still creamy-it just never really gets hard. Which is fine by me, since I like soft ice cream-whether it's the trashy Thrifty store brand I grew up on or good quality ice cream that I'll mash and push around with my spoon until it softens.
This amazing, sweet, yet healthy Strawberry Coconut Oatmeal Crunch Pie combines a crust made of shredded coconut, quick oats and cereal flakes, topped with a silky strawberry sauce and sliced, fresh strawberries. Daaaang, that's a long title. In my head, though, it sounded much better than calling it, let's say, Strawberry Oatmeal Pie.
