I love coconut. And, I make no apologies for using copious amounts in this recipe. And, lets not even mention the sweetened condensed milk. Granola bars are meant to be high calorie snacks to eat while hiking or participating in your sport of choice. So, if you’re just lounging around […] Mr Stripey Our garden was an expensive hobby last year. But, we did harvest some of the best tomatoes we’ve ever tasted. So, with hopes for even more success, we’re giving it another try. Seeds & Seedlings: $75 Fresh Soil for Raised Beds: $70 April 5th, 2010 | Category: Food, Fruit, Garden, Vegetables | Leave a comment
Technically, this is a conserve, or whole fruit jam. I made this very small batch with only the barest semblance of a recipe. The result was startlingly good. Having sampled a number of golden berry, or cape gooseberry, jams prior to this, my expectations were fairly low. But, given the […] Ya Pear (or Chinese White Pear) I’m in love with these pears.

Mangosteen for $6.99 lb at Buford Highway Farmer’s Market this week These were a bit on the over-ripe side giving them a very soft texture. But, this only added to their sweetness. They basically melted in our mouths and tasted of liquid sugar with a peachy tropical note […]
A small bowl of fresh strawberries and a cocktail of creamy vanilla and praline liqueur make a nice substitute for dessert on those occasions when you’d like a little something special. Creamy Vanilla & Praline Cocktail 1 ounce vanilla vodka 1/2 ounce praline liqueur one whole […]
No, these weren’t locally grown. But, I’m not about to walk by an 18 lb bag of perfectly fresh red (deep dark gorgeous red) grapefruit after tasting a sample that was sugary sweet & delicious. And, the icing on the cake? This 18 lb bag was $6.99. From a distance, […] |
