		<description><![CDATA[Chocolate POMerdoodle Ice Cream

½ cup honey
½ cup light brown sugar
½ tsp ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
2 ½ cups full-fat coconut milk, chilled
½ cup POM Wonderful pomegranate juice
2 ½ to 3 tbsp Scharffen-Berger cocoa (or other good quality cocoa, amount to taste—once mixed in, of course)

Mix all together in a mixing bowl or blender. Add to ice cream maker. Churn about 20 minutes until firm. You may remove ice cream from ice cream maker and store in freezer for additional firmness, if needed.

Recipe by Shirley Braden

Shirley's Notes: This recipe is both gluten free and dairy free. It’s not refined sugar free, but I believe you could skip the brown sugar and simply use 2/3 cup honey or the same amount of agave nectar and end up with an equally delicious, dairy-free ice cream. (I wouldn’t use a one-to-one swap because of the liquid content of honey or agave.)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[POM’d Pork

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large yellow onion, sliced thin
3 pounds (or larger) pork tenderloin or pork butt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning 
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
4 garlic cloves (whole or minced)
1 (14-ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chilies
1 cup POM Wonderful pomegranate juice
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons maple syrup

Use a large slow cooker. (I used my large oval Crockpot.) Pour olive oil in slow cooker; tilt so olive oil is evenly coating the bottom of the stoneware. Place onion slices over olive oil.

Place meat in slow cooker. Rub the spices over the surface of the meat. Top meat with garlic and whole can of tomatoes with green chilies. Mix pomegranate juice, balsamic vinegar, and maple syrup, and gently pour over the meat so that the diced tomatoes and green chilies remain on top.

Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, or on high for approximately 5. The meat is done when it has reached desired tenderness. For pork tenderloin, I like it sliceable. For pork butt, I like it to pull apart easily with a fork.

Serve on buns or with a complementary side. I’ll share a side dish recipe next week that’s easy to make, but that also impresses with its looks and taste.

Shirley's Notes: The photo shows two cans of diced tomatoes with green chilies; however, I decided one would be sufficient after I poured it over the pork butt. Feel free to vary ingredients to your liking. Look to the original recipe for more ideas.

		<description><![CDATA[Reindeer Antlers

1 cup POM Wonderful pomegranate juice
1 cup grenadine syrup or grenadine liqueur
3 cups orange juice
3 cups pineapple juice
1 cup vodka
1 cup rum
1 cup tequila

Stir all together. I added my ingredients to a gallon-sized jar, place the lid on it and just shook the jar to mix. Chill. Serve over ice and top with pomegranate seeds---also known as arils. Pouring the Reindeer Antlers over crushed ice and topping with arils provides a lovely presentation. As an alternative you can sprinkle arils on your Reindeer Antler just before serving; the arils will slowly sink to the bottom of your drink. Or, you can add festive ice cubes that contain pomegranate seeds that you’ve made earlier. Very important---one must eat the pomegranate seeds to achieve the optimum “effects” of the reindeer antlers. To date, numerous scientific studies have been conducted on the benefits of pomegranate juice for cardiac health, blood pressure, prostate health, and, yes, even “virility”---all with encouraging results. So Reindeer Antlers taste delicious and are good for your love life. Plus, you know how some folks eat the agave worm at the bottom of a Mescal bottle? Eating the reindeer antler-infused arils is such a nicer alternative, don’t you think?

Shirley’s Notes: “Real” grenadine syrup or liqueur is actually made from pomegranates. (I don’t know if any of the grenadine products that I’ve used to date have contained pomegranates.) I’ve used both the syrup and the liqueur, interchangeably. The liqueur contains alcohol (2.5% per the label of the Jacquin’s Grenadine that I used). Usually these products contain high fructose corn syrup and not always pomegranates. If you want to make your own genuine grenadine syrup, buy some pomegranates and use this recipe. Or, make a “simple syrup” using Pom Wonderful juice from the directions shown with this recipe. If you'd like to make a smaller batch of Reindeer Antlers, just use "parts" when mixing instead of cups. So for example, you can use one part every time 1 cup is called for and three parts when the recipe says 3 cups. Shot glasses or 1/4 cup measures can be great for downsizing this recipe. You'd add one shot every time one cup is required and three shots every time 3 cups is cited. Don't forget your arils as topping though.

Enjoy and drink responsibly!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tom’s Fruity Medicine Chest Smoothie (courtesy of Tom Malterre &#038; Ali Segersten)

2 apples, cored and cut into chunks
2 ripe pears, cored and cut into chunks
1 to 2 cups water
2 lemons, juiced and seeds removed
1- to 2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and sliced
5 kale leaves rinsed and torn
5 romaine lettuce leaves, spinach leaves, or collard greens, rinsed
1 cup coarsely chopped green cabbage, optional (Shirley’s note: I really like the smoothie with the cabbage. Sometimes I just use the 3-color cole slaw mix if I have that on hand instead of a head of cabbage, but a head of cabbage is far less expensive and keeps for a long time.)

Optional Additions: 

POM Wonderful, a "glug" or two
1 to 2 kiwi fruit
1 handful of fresh parsley or mint leaves
2 to 3 tbsp flax seeds
½ cup soaked goji berries

Place the apple chunks, pear chunks, water, and lemon juice into a blender fitted with a sharp blade, a Blendtec, or a Vita-Mix and blend until smooth and creamy.

Add the ginger, kale, romaine (or spinach, or collard greens), and cabbage, and blend again until very smooth. Add more water for a thinner smoothie.

You can taste it now and if it is too “lettucy” for you, then add another pear and blend again. Add more water for a thinner consistency.

Recipe from The Whole Life Nutrition Cookbook, by Alissa Segersten and Tom Malterre. Check out their website at http://www.wholelifenutrition.net and their blog, The Whole Life Nutrition Kitchen, at http://www.glutenfreewholefoods.blogspot.com.

Notes: If you use a standard-size blender, you will need to halve this recipe. Although my basic blender works okay for this recipe, I have to remember to add enough water and blend the smoothies long enough or they are too thick and still contain small particles of greens. If you have  a Blendtec  or a Vita-Mix, they will do a much better job of blending these smoothies.]]></description>
