Strawberry Orange Sorbet with Mint

Hi there! Wow, it's been way too long that I've posted. I've missed it. It's not that I haven't been cooking but it's been pretty busy around here. Kyle and I got married June 15th and it was the most beautiful day of my life! Kyle and I have been married now for a little over a month and are loving every minute of it.






I have a recipe that I've been wanting to share and I'm glad I'm able to finally sit down and share it with you. You will be so surprised how easy it is to make sorbet and will want to make it before the Summer is over. For the 4th of July I wanted to make something festive but also Fun and Healthy! (Of course!) So I decided to make a strawberry orange Sorbet with mint.

Check out these strawberries! 

                              
First you will want to slice  and hull your strawberries and stick in a large pot.


                              

Once your strawberries are sliced and ready add your sugar, orange juice, mint leaves and water.


                               

Boil on medium heat and boil until sugar is dissolved.


      

Once your mixture has boiled for 8 to 10 minutes turn the heat off and use your emersion blender to blend smooth. You can also use a normal blender if you don't have a hand blender. 


                                

You will have a little foam and that is fine.


                               

Since I was taking this to a 4th of July party I transported it in glass jars.


                                

All that's left is to pour the mix into your ice cream maker and mix until frozen!


                                

I didn't get a pretty picture of the final product. :( 

                                 Strawberry orange Sorbet 

4 cup Strawberries, hulled and sliced
1 cup water
1 cup orange juice
1 large handful of mint leaves, chopped
1/2 Cup sugar

Slice and hull strawberries. Place in large sauce pan with the rest of the ingredients. Boil for 8 to 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and blend mixture with hand blender until smooth. Cool and pour in ice cream maker until frozen. Enjoy! It's good to be back.

Day 1–Have a Headache Already

Happy New Year to everyone! Day 1 of the detox started today. It’s been pretty tough,I’m not gonna lie. I went to Whole Foods and Walmart yesterday to get all the fruits and vegetables I needed for the week. I’ve had a headache all day due to the lack of caffeine. I really don’t drink but maybe a cup and a half of coffee and a glass of tea a day. But I sure did miss it today. This morning I got up to help in the nursery at church. I made the Antioxidant smoothie. You can find the recipe here . It was really good, a little tart but not bad. When I got to the church I got a cup of unsweetened green tea (no caffeine) so I could convince myself it was a cup of coffee. The tea and smoothie held me over till about 11:30. I made a nice little salad for lunch with water with of couple apples thrown in. My salad had spinach, avocado, cucumbers, carrots, cherry tomatoes, and pumpkin seeds dressed with balsamic vinaigrette I did get pretty hungry this afternoon so I made the roasted chi

Vanilla Bean Almond Butter

I don’t know about you but I LOVE nut butters. I have never made my own because I didn’t realize out easy it was. I’m telling ya, everyone can make nut butter as long as you have a decent food processor and there's not turning back. I’ve had some left over vanilla beans from the vanilla I made a while back and wanted to use them, so I decided to use them in the almond butter. I made this about a week ago and it’s already half gone! It’s like a yummy creamy dessert. Once you try fresh pure nut butters you will never go back to store bought. Only 3 ingredients and no added oils! So here it goes: Start out by toasting your almonds until they start to smell yummy. Pour your almonds in the food processer and start to process. You will need to process for 8 to 10 minutes and stop several times to scrape down the sides, so be patient. Stage 1 Stage 2- Powder Stage 3-The natural oil starts to come out and its starts to ball up. Stage 4-Almost there, just a f

Italian Sausage and Tortellini Soup

Today was a great day! I didn’t have to work and I got to spend it with Kyle!! He is leaving tonight to go to Colorado to ski with the boys. I’m excited that he is getting to finally go skiing. He hasn’t been in a few years and has been itching to go. I relaxed, cooked, ate, and got my oil changed. Good day! I made some treats for Kyle on his road trip but I’m not going to share it with you till tomorrow, so stay tuned. This morning was a pancake morning! I’ve been wanting to make some pancakes with whole grain oats so I thought I would experiment a little. I started with Bob’s Mill whole grain pancake mix. I added egg+ vanilla coconut milk+ oats+ chia seeds. Topped with Almond butter and frozen strawberries nooked in the microwave!  I love to add chia seeds to my oatmeal and anything I can add them to. I buy them in the bulk section at Whole Foods. Chia seeds provide fiber, protein, and antioxidants. It’s just a little added benefit! Lunch was spent at Genghis Grill. We wer
