I love Ice Cream and indulge quite often, but sometimes I want to satisfy the craving without all the empty calories and unhealthy fat content. On those days I make myself this Chocolate Avocado Shake.
The best thing about this shake in my opinion is that I can enjoy ice cream for breakfast if I want.

I am heading to the Farmer's Market in the morning. I decided to look at my Weekly Menu to see what I should pick up and discovered that I had completely forgotten to create a menu for this week!!
I blame it on my crazy life. Yesterday, we ended up going to a late lunch with friends, and then the Angel Face came to spend the weekend. So I bought some Sushi for her to have for dinner, and Frank and I snacked on potato chips.
So today, we had the Shrimp Quesadillas that we were supposed to have yesterday, before we went to the movies to see Superman.
Monday is our friend John's birthday. We are taking him out for Polish Food. Tuesday, Frank's sister, Roz, is coming to hang out in the pool and have dinner. On Thursday, we are hosting a Pool Party Potluck for our choir members and their families.
So I'm planning my Weekly Menu, so that I know what I need to pick up at the Farmer's Market tomorrow. Have you made your Weekly Menu yet?
This Orange Skillet Cake is chock-full of flavor from the zest and puree of Navel Oranges. It is a wonderful coffee cake served up as is, or an amazing dessert with the addition of whipped cream or, as I topped it, Orange Sherbet.
This cake is easy, delicious, and impressive. Tender, tart rhubarb is sweetened and caramelized in a cast iron skillet, covered with a citrus-tinged cake, and finished with a crunchy crumble.
Life doesn't get much easier than this Brownie Pizza. Boxed mix, topped with canned frosting and sprinkled with fresh fruit. Simple, Beautiful, and always a hit whenever it is served.

This high-protein, high-fiber breakfast is easily adaptable to your taste. I used Chocolate Almond Milk and Strawberries, but any milk and/or fruit will work just as well.
Classic German Chocolate Cake. Light, fluffy, and frosted with a delicious Caramelized Icing chock-full of Coconut and Pecans.
Venison steaks, thinly sliced and quickly marinated in Asian flavors, before being stir-fried with fresh Green Beans. A quick and easy weeknight meal.
Summertime and the Livin' is Easy. Here on the Farm our days consist of lounging in the pool and grilling dinner for whoever happens to stop by. I always try to have a variety of wines available to please any palate, but for my palate, I prefer this hearty red blend from Decoy, especially when it is burgers on the grill.
Only 3 ingredients, an ice cream maker, and a little bit of time provide you with this sweet treat that will have you reminiscing about those push-ups that you adored as a child.
These sweet little desserts are called Pączki because I filled them with jam. You can also use the same recipes, sans filling and topping, to make savory dumplings, called Kluski na Parze. Parze means steamed.
This Pasta dish is tossed with a delicious Sweet Corn Pesto. It makes a wonderful Meatless Entree, taking advantage of the fresh garden produce available right now.
Happy Independence Day!! I think today is a great day to introduce a very funny, yet serious book about the Country in which we live today.
Raw cashews tossed with maple syrup and spices, then roasted to a golden brown. A delicious sweet/spicy treat.
This quick, easy dip is loaded with flavor from the preserved lemons. Sure to be a hit at your next gathering or enjoyed as a snack or light lunch.
A is for Avocado. B is for Banana. C is for Chocolate Chips. D is for Delightfully Delicious.
Boneless, skinless chicken thighs are marinated in a spicy yogurt mixture before being grilled, resulting in a flavorful, moist, delicious entree.
This dish is traditional comfort food in the UK. I have read about it many times, but have never tried it. I must say, it's pretty tasty and yes, comforting. A great way to use up leftover baked beans if you have them. If not, open up and heat some canned beans to serve over the toast.
This colorful, delicious, healthy bowl makes a perfect meal when camping. Of course, you don't have to be camping; I'm just lucky enough to be heading home from our first road trip in our new travel trailer.
This is a fun, easy dish to share at your Independence Day gathering. While Red, White, and Blue may not be Eating a Rainbow, it is still eating colorful, healthy food that is as nutritious as it is delicious.

This pesto, originating in Sicily, certainly does not get the attention it deserves. The Sicilian version of pesto has a fresh tomato base, is full of herbs, and uses almonds instead of pine nuts. It is delicious!!!
These tasty Steak and Mushroom Bites come together quickly and make a wonderful appetizer to serve with cocktails.
This sweet and tart cocktail is served in a glass rimmed with toasted coconut and crushed graham crackers providing all the flavors of your favorite pie in liquid form.

My friend Radha of Magical Ingredients shared 26 Paratha recipes with us last year during our Alphabet Challenge. This Avocado Paratha is adapted from one of her recipes.
This delicious soup is filling enough to be a main course, served with some crusty bread or dinner rolls.
We celebrated our friend Cathy's birthday here on Memorial Day. The group that gathered is traveling to Italy in September so I decided to kick things off with a Campari Spritz.
These savory muffins make the perfect accompaniment to soup or salad. Filled with herbs and parmesan cheese, each bite is tangy, earthy, and satisfying.
Warmer weather means a change in the types of foods that my body craves. Gone are the yearnings for warm comfort meals of soups and stews. Now, I want fresh crisp salads and beautifully grilled proteins. This gorgeous, tangy dressing made with an assortment of fresh herbs is the perfect way to welcome in the spring.
Preserved Lemons take about 20 minutes of hands-on time before being placed in the refrigerator to pickle for a month. I cannot wait until these are ready to start creating recipes.
Tender, lemon-scented, little cakes inspired by the novel, A Bakery in Paris by Aimie Runyon.
