Healthy Cherry Garcia Recipe (No Ice Cream Maker Needed)

June 26, 2020 by Faith 1 Comment

This decadent-tasting Healthy Cherry Garcia 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.

But 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....

July 25, 2016 by Faith 10 Comments

This paleo Seared Salmon with Fresh Cherry and Charred Poblano Chopped Salad makes perfect use of sweet, in-season cherries for a fresh new way to dress up dinner. When I don’t feel like cooking but I still want to eat clean, salmon is what usually comes to my weeknight dinnertime rescue. It cooks up in a matter of minutes on the stovetop, and is a great base flavor just waiting to be dressed up any number of ways....

Easy Cherry Chocolate Yogurt Bowl

August 28, 2015 by Faith 12 Comments

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....

Cherry Chocolate Chip Coffee Popsicles Recipe (Paleo)

July 13, 2015 by Faith 15 Comments

This paleo Cherry Chocolate Chip Coffee Popsicles Recipe pairs fresh sweet cherries with dark chocolate in a creamy coffee-based popsicle. 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....

Green Bean Slaw with Cabbage, Cherries, and Lemonade Dressing {Paleo}

After reading the title of this recipe, you’re probably thinking that I’ve finally cracked. Lemonade in salad dressing?!, you ask. Yes; I’m telling you, it just works....

Caramelized Brussels Sprouts with Dark Cherry Sauce + Hazelnut

November 22, 2013 by Faith 21 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 […]...

3-Minute Easy Cherry-Chocolate Sorbet {Frozen Treat Week}

July 22, 2013 by Faith 35 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....

Cherry Cordials

May 23, 2011 by Faith 40 Comments

Have you ever heard of squash? Not the vegetable, but the concentrated syrup made from fruit, sugar, and water. Squash (also called cordial) can be made from just about any fruit you like…I happen to love cherries and had half a bag in my freezer leftover from when I made this chicken dish. It was an unseasonably hot pre-summer day and I couldn’t imagine a better way to cool off than with this refreshing drink....

Cherry Turnovers

April 13, 2011 by Faith 30 Comments

I am of the mindset that food is the best means of communication. For example, what does roast chicken with root vegetables say if not relaxing on a Sunday afternoon? Kind of how fresh strawberries say summer is here, homemade chicken noodle soup says get well soon, and lobster drowning in butter says I’m on vacation. And certainly nothing says I love you like waking up to a plateful of fresh cherry turnovers....
