A healthy, three ingredient soft serve “ice cream” that is perfect to celebrate the Fall season even if it doesn’t feel like Fall yet,
As much as I want it to, it just doesn’t feel like Fall here yet.
The high on Thursday was 91°… yep, October 2nd and it’s 91°
So while I’d love to be making big batches of soup and turning on my oven to bake casseroles and doughnut holes and what not, I just can’t bear it yet.
Not until it gets under 75° do I really start to get into the Fall season foods.
We got a little bit of the exotic along with some staples in last weeks produce co-op basket and absolutely loved it. We had potatoes, cauliflower and (surprise!) prickly pear. Oh, and about 15 limes….So what does one do with all those limes? Well you make chicken curry with lime and then treat yourself to a fabulously tart and sweet dessert — lime pie pops!
To me, summer is personified in foods that are sweet and citrusy. When I think of soaking up these last days of summer, my mind drifts to pool side book reading enjoying a strawberry popsicle. A hint of sweet, and a splash of tart. Although often times we attribute these flavors to dessert, I wanted to recreate them in a summer inspired and filling main course.
We got a ton of locally grown corn in our weekly farmer’s box recently, and I was a bit unsure what to do with all the goodness, as we don’t generally eat a lot of corn.
This harvest reminded me just how delicious corn is.
It also reminded me of how incredible food can be on the first meal… or frozen to become a meal for a later time.
