Homemade Banana Cherry Sorbet



My Family Rating: 5  "This is a 10 out of 5 Mom!"
 Put in Blender:
  • 2 frozen bananas
  • 2 cups pitted frozen cherries
  • 2-4 Tablespoons of filtered water (to help them blend more smoothly)

Blend with several pulses until desired consistency (or on Ice setting if your blender has that option)  I like to leave some cherry bits.

Serving suggestion:  Spread some leftover sorbet between graham crackers, cover with foil or wrap in waxed paper and freeze for later.

Carrot, Lime, Pear Cookies

--

My Version: (inspired by101 Cookbooks Carrot Oatmeal Cookies)

11/2 Cups ground brown rice flour
1/2 cup great northern beans flour  (ground into flour)
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp kosher salt
2 cups rolled oats
2 cups pear, lime and carrot pulp (we made juice in our juicer and used the pulp . . .use any combination of pulp)
3/4 cup agave syrup
1 cup olive oil
1/2 tsp ground ginger

In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and oats. Add  the pulp In a separate smaller bowl use a whisk to combine the agave syrup, olive oil, and ginger. Add this to the flour mixture and stir until just combined.
Drop onto prepared baking sheets, one level tablespoonful at a time, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. Bake  at 375 in the top 1/3 of the oven for 10 - 12 minutes or until the cookies are golden on top and bottom.

Tip:  If you want flatter cookies instead of "puffs" simply press down with a fork before baking.

Note: The original recipe used whole wheat flour and coconut oil and nuts and did not use lime and pear pulp.  Also they used fresh ginger instead of ground ginger and maple syrup instead of agave syrup.

Be Nutritiously Inspired,

Pumpkin Banana Shake


This year I found out that pumpkin ice cream is pretty good:) Since I am not a fan of pumpkin pie, that is a surprise. To make a shake, I used some egg nog, pumpkin ice cream and a couple of bananas and mixed them together in a blender. Frozen bananas make a thicker shake. It was really good!!

Cranberry Apple Punch


I love this simple drink:

Combine 1 part Cranberry Apple juice with one part Gingerale. (Sprite or 7-Up work too, but Gingerale is my favorite) It is the best when chilled.

Enjoy!

Tooty Fruit Salad



This is another wonderful recipe created by my daughter. Here are her instructions:
1) Slice the strawberries by first slicing in kind-of crescent-shaped pieces.
2)Then take some grapes. Put 'em in the bowl with some strawberries.
3) Then take a whole can of mandarin oranges and pour it in the same bowl with the strawberries and the grapes. (Make sure you get almost all the juice out but leave the mandarin oranges juicy)
4) Then stir it up with a spoon until it is all mixed. Then serve it on the table with breakfast or dessert or anything.
It's very snacky and great to bring on vacation or to the zoo or something._
