My friend went to Korea and all I got was pictures of food

Ok, well, that’s not entirely true. But aren’t there T-shirts that say something like that? All of the pictures and descriptions in the slideshow were taken by my good friend, Susannah Hope. All I did was “enhance” them in iPhoto and crop some of them to remove background. Since this is a vegetarian blog, I [...]

Another Banana Split (and homemade ice-cream)

I’m in posting deprivation! Well, to be honest, it’s more like cooking deprivation due to excessive procrastination of the academic nature. Hopefully, I’ll make some progress in the food invention field when my summer classes are over. I made this last night for dinner when I couldn’t think of anything else. I went out for [...]

Mangoes: like better bananas (and an Indian drink recipe)

A recent statistic I read somewhere stated that the U.S. population eats a startlingly large amount of bananas each year (yes, I read a lot of random (and usually pointless) “statistics” and what not), which kind of bothers me because, well, I’m not really too fond of them. Although I do think one of the [...]

Ice Cream-less Banana Split (with a cherry on top)

So I came home from work yesterday (around 8:30) and, the moment I stepped in the door, I had this incredible urge to be thin and binge all at the same time (I used to have these a lot when I was really overweight). It’s a strange feeling to stand there, with a million things [...]

Easy Freezy “JELLatO”

Now that that’s taken care of, on to the recipe of the day. Apparently, heat waves don’t spur great ice cream renovations in the kitchen, “cold waves” do. It was most definitely noticeably colder yesterday, and…I discovered the perfect fat-free, sugar-free ice cream recipe. Well, okay, TECHNICALLY, there’s no such thing as “fat-free, sugar-free ice [...]

Another Frozen Delight (Plus Fruit!)

Here’s another one for the ice cream maker, designed for personalization. It’s actually frozen yogurt instead of ice cream, but since it seems probiotics are the new rage…why not? I broke out my ice cream maker to make the peanut butter gelato and, annoying piece of crap that it is, I figured that I might [...]

Peanut Butter Gelato

In the spirit of the (probably short-lived) streak of good weather we’re having, I thought I’d post another ice cream recipe. This one needs an ice cream maker to really get the feel you’re going for, but on the plus side, it’s a great way to stretch that peanut butter flavor farther for fewer calories. [...]

Ice Cream…well, more like creamy ice

I don’t know if I’ve done my spiel about frozen yogurt/ice cream yet, but I’m absolutely in love with the stuff. When I was in high school, I used to eat fat-free, sugar free frozen yogurt all the time (this stuff called Only 8, only had 8 calories per oz!), but with this economy, I [...]
