Healthy Cherry Garcia Ice Cream Recipe (No Ice Cream Maker)

August 27, 2018 by Faith 1 Comment

This Healthy Cherry Garcia Ice Cream Recipe puts summer cherries to perfect use when you want a nourishing sweet treat. The best part is, no ice cream maker required!

I’ve always been a chocolate girl when it comes to dessert. In fact, I’d even go so far as to say that my usual motto is that if a sweet treat doesn’t have chocolate, it just isn’t worth it. I have branched out a little, realizing the deliciousness in things like a creamy coconut custard, butter toffee shortbread cookies, and classic flavor combinations like peanut butter and jelly made into crumble bars.…

Baked Goat Brie with Balsamic-Roasted Cherries

August 18, 2017 by Faith 2 Comments

Baked Goat Brie with Balsamic-Roasted Cherries is a lovely balance of sweet and tangy flavors and creamy texture. I have had a heck of a time getting my cherry fix this summer. I’ve been so focused on tropical treats like mango and pineapple that my classic summer favorites like cherries, blueberries, and peaches have taken the backseat. But I couldn’t let summer go without giving cherries a moment in the spotlight....

Easy Polenta Pudding Parfaits with Stovetop Cherry Sauce come together in less than half an hour for a beautiful weekend breakfast or weeknight dessert. Sometimes we all need a little help in the kitchen to keep things exciting, both in terms of avoiding food boredom and to prevent cooking from feeling like a chore.

Indulge in an Easy Cherry Chocolate Yogurt Bowl for dessert tonight. When I write a blog post, I pretend that no one I know is reading because sharing snippets of my life is just easier that way. Im usually very reserved until I get to know someone, but oddly, I find it less intimidating to write for strangers than for people who know me....

July 13, 2015 by Faith 17 Comments

These paleo Cherry Chocolate Chip Coffee Popsicles are a great way to satisfy your summer cravings for a sweet treat to cool down with. I’m not even joking when I say I could live off cherries and nothing else during their teasingly short season. (Even despite all those warnings about the collywobbles my mom gave me growing up.) Collywobbles or not, a five pound bag of cherries never lasts long in my fridge....

Caramelized Brussels Sprouts with Dark Cherry Sauce + Hazelnut

November 22, 2013 by Faith 20 Comments

With Thanksgiving less than a week away, if you’re anything like me, I bet you’ve been scouring the internet for new side dish ideas. Of course there are the ever-present sides on our holiday table, like butternut squash puree, some variant of stuffing (cornbread-based stuffing seems to be everyone’s favorite), and some form of bean casserole (usually green bean casserole, but for some reason that hasn’t been such a hit for the past couple of years). And Brussels sprouts, which is my dad’s contribution to our meal; my mom hates them and refuses to go near them, but since they’re a favorite of his, my dad takes on […]...

July 22, 2013 by Faith 37 Comments

There are so many things that I make for myself on a near-daily basis that I just dont think about sharing the recipe for. Silly things. Like this caramelized onion + goat cheese omelet, this cabbage hash + fried eggs, or this pretty little breakfast number. Or an almost-instant, healthy treat (that I promise tastes more indulgent than healthy), like this cherry-chocolate sorbet that can be easily whipped up when a sweet craving strikes....
