		<description><![CDATA[Tomato Rosemary Mint Ice Cream

3 ½ cups, full-fat coconut milk, chilled (total amount; part “infused,” see instructions)

2 small very ripe tomatoes, seeded, peeled, and chopped—about ½ cup

2/3 cup honey

¾ tsp molasses

one 8-inch sprig of fresh rosemary

Several pieces of fresh mint (maybe a loose cup’s worth)

Pour about 2 ½ cups of coconut milk into a large jar or bowl that you can cover. Add rosemary and mint; stir.

Refrigerate overnight (or longer if you want a stronger flavor). Remove rosemary and mint with tongs, shaking excess coconut milk off into jar or bowl as you do so; discard herbs.

Pour coconut milk through a fine mesh strainer into a 4-cup measuring cup.

Add additional chilled coconut milk until you reach 3 ½ cup level.

Transfer coconut milk mixture into a large clean bowl (to ensure there are no herbal bits). Stir in tomatoes, honey, and molasses. Mix well. (I used a mixer.)

Pour into already frozen ice cream tub/bowl of ice cream maker and churn about 25 to 30 minutes. Freeze additional time if needed. Enjoy alone or as a topping to an overly sweet dessert!

Original recipe from Shirley Braden 

Shirley's Notes: Did you know that you can buy an extra tub/bowl for your ice cream maker? This is especially handy if you have a large family (or entertain often) and need double batches or are in an ice cream making mood and just don't want to wait another 24 hours for your tub to refreeze. My support group member, gfe reader, and friend, Jennifer R., shared that very helpful tip. For her family of five, 1 1/2 quarts of ice cream is just not enough!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Fresh Zucchini Toss

1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup honey (I used raw honey from our bees)
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper (I used a fresh ground peppercorn medley)
2 large zucchini (about 2 cups or so), chopped into small pieces
6 cups or more of mixed salad greens (cut or torn into bite-size pieces, if needed)
1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced or chopped (your preference)
1 cup gluten-free croutons (optional; diced Savory Sandwich Waffles would be ideal as croutons)
2 tomatoes (about 1 cup), chopped

Combine first six ingredients thoroughly in a jar. Shake well. Pour over zucchini. Chill 30 minutes or more. Place salad greens in a large salad bowl. Add zucchini mixture and toss lightly. Garnish with, or mix in, onion, croutons, and tomatoes.

Makes about 9 servings. (The serving bowl shown above contains double this recipe.)

Adapted from National Honey Board

Shirley’s Notes: We didn’t chill the zucchini mixture before making the zucchini toss for our support group meeting, but this recipe was still delicious. Depending upon how much dressing you like with your salad, you may be able to add more greens to the mix. With an oil and vinegar based recipe like this one, I don’t usually need a lot of dressing. There’s actually much more dressing than is needed in the photo above. If you feel the same about  a lighter amount of dressing, I suggest either adding  more greens or reducing the amount of dressing a bit.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lemon-Lime Coconut Basil Ice (Beverage or Frozen Dessert)

1 1/2 cups water
1 3/4 cups lite coconut milk, chilled (I used ¾ cup full-fat coconut milk and 1 cup filtered water*)
¼ cup honey (or agave nectar, or other sweetener of your choice to taste)
4 drops vanilla crème liquid stevia
¼ cup fresh, chopped or sliced basil
¼ tsp lemon oil (or 1 tsp lemon zest)
¼ tsp lime oil (or 1 tsp lime zest)
3 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp lime juice

In a medium saucepan, heat water over med-high heat until steaming, not boiling. Add basil and let stand 15 minutes. Pour through fine mesh sieve; discard basil. Set in freezer in shallow pan for about 15. It should be thoroughly chilled but not frozen, even on the edges. (It’s not a good idea to add frozen ingredients to one’s ice cream maker.)

In large bowl or blender, add lemon oil, lime oil, lemon juice, lime juice, “basil water,” coconut milk, honey, and stevia. Use hand mixer or blender to blend.

Add to pre-frozen container of ice cream maker. Churn 15 – 30 minutes. Yes, that’s a wide gap of time. Check at 15 minutes to see if the mixture has reached your desired consistency. I really wanted a beverage to sip with my steamed crabs more than a scoopable snow cone like mix, so I was pleased with the consistency at 15 minutes for that purpose. However, I churned the mixture for the full 25 or 30 minutes, and perhaps additional freezing afterwards, might be needed for a firmer ice dessert. Again, I mainly wanted a beverage, so even at churning the full time, I let most of the ice get “melty” and then sipped it as a beverage. Very light and refreshing.

Shirley’s Notes: You can use any sweetener as I stated above, but honey always yields a softer, more scoopable frozen dessert, so I recommend using at least some honey. This recipe was loosely inspired by a Meyer’s Lemon Basil Ice in the May issue of Better Homes and Garden magazine. That recipe took almost 5 hours to make---yikes! I wanted something I could whip up fairly quickly. I used fresh lemon and lime juice; I’m sure that bottled would work, but it would not be quite as flavorful. The lemon and lime oil should not be used with plastic measuring spoons; the oil ate right through the plastic. Next time, I’ll remember to use my stainless steel measuring spoons, which are much better to use anyway. The basil flavoring in this mix is very mild. If you want a stronger basil flavor, steep basil in water for 30 minutes.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Blueberry Honey Pie with Honey Whipped Cream and Raspberries

6 cups blueberries
3/4 cup honey
¼ tsp salt
2 tbsp plus 1 tsp arrowroot powder (or 4 tbsp cornstarch)
¼ cup water
2 tsp lemon juice
2 tsp coconut oil (or butter, or dairy-free butter)
½ cup raspberries for topping

In a large saucepan, mix blueberries, honey, and salt. Add water to arrowroot powder (or cornstarch) in a small bowl and blend. Add to blueberry mixture; blend. Stirring often, cook over medium-high heat until mixture is bubbly and arrowroot-water mixture turns blueberry color, about 2 to 5 minutes. Stir in lemon juice and coconut oil. Cool slightly and pour into your already prepared pie crust (see notes below). Chill at least an hour. Serve with honey whipped cream.

Honey Whipped Cream

1 cup coconut "cream," from a chilled can of full-fat coconut milk (read more below)
¼ cup honey

The day before, chill one can of coconut milk, your mixing bowl, and beaters in refrigerator. (I try to keep 2 cans of full-fat coconut milk in the refrigerator at all times for making ice cream and whipped cream.) Skim about one cup of the "cream" off the top ... that's what I'm calling the thick, non-liquid substance that forms when you refrigerate full-fat coconut milk for at least 24 hours in the coldest part of your refrigerator. Add the coconut cream to a chilled bowl. Whip coconut cream with chilled beaters until it reaches its whipped cream state. Gradually add honey. Whip again until it turns to whipped cream with at least soft peaks remaining when you stop whipping. Spoon onto chilled pie, leaving a perimeter of blueberries exposed. (Chill whipped cream if you are not topping your pie immediately.) Top whipped cream with raspberries.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cucumber Chickpea Bruschetta

cucumber slices
can of drained chickpeas, mashed using hand masher or back of spoon
juice of about one-fourth of a lemon
chopped tomatoes
chopped onions
chopped basil or other herbs and seasonings (e.g., dill, cumin, garlic, crushed red pepper flakes)
salsa (see notes below)

Slice cucumbers thick enough that they can hold some weight. (See photo.)

In a large bowl, add chickpeas and lemon juice. Mix well. Mash chickpeas with a potato masher or back of a spoon. They do not have to be fully mashed, just spreadable.

Spread chickpea mixture onto cucumber slices using a spoon.

Mix tomatoes, onions, herbs, and seasonings. Spoon onto chickpea-topped slices.

OR

Top chickpea-topped cucumber slices with a small spoonful of salsa. Serve.

Shirley’s Notes: I used a seedless cucumber as I think they are a bit sturdier and I like the lack of seeds for this recipe. We had some peach-mango salsa leftover from our weekend camping trip with Son and his friends, which I used as topping for half of these bruschetta. (Not sure on the plural of buschetta. I just found out I was saying the word wrong after all these years. Apparently there's the correct pronunciation and then the Americanized pronunciation.)  Just a dab of salsa from a spoon on top of the chickpea mixture was all that was needed. The resulting bruschetta was really lovely, with so many flavors and textures ... all working well together. These are very addictive for a healthy snack!]]></description>
