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.

Soba Lo Mein

Is everyone ready for all the snow they say we are going to get tomorrow?  I hope this is the last of it. I’m ready for Spring! Flowers, bike riding, and walks in the park! Tonight I decided to use the Soba noodles I bought back when I couldn’t eat gluten. Soba noodles are made with 100% buckwheat flour and are gluten free. I’ve never tried them but I thought they would taste more like whole wheat noodles which I love. I decided to use my Chicken Lo Mein recipe without the chicken and with Soba instead of whole wheat. They didn’t taste quite like whole wheat noodles. They had the same texture but a really odd after taste. I think I stick to whole wheat from now on. You can make this Lo Mein with whatever noodles you prefer. The peanut sauce mixed with the soy sauce is so good!! I used the following ingredients.   I started out by sautéing some onions and a garlic clove in 2 tablespoons of toasted Asian sesame dressing. While you are cooking your noodles add in the ve...

I love Almond Butter

Hello again! It’s been a busy day for me today but it’s been a good food day. ;) The blender worked out a little better for me this morning. I guess it just needed a little using before I got used to it. I started today with an Energy Smoothie. It was really good. It was my first time trying the spice Cardamom. Energy Smoothie ½ C Almond Butter 1 Teaspoon Ground Cardamom 1 ½ C water 1 C Frozen Peaches 1 to 2 Teaspoons of Agave ½ C Ice I cut this recipe in half. The Cardamom was pretty noticeable. It’s hard to describe but it was a little like cinnamon. I loved the Almond butter. I tried a new brand this time. It was very creaming right out of the refrigerator. I drank most of the smoothie on my way to work. I was pretty hungry when I woke up this morning.  Lacey enjoyed the Mango Smoothe today. Isn't she cute! I had a cup of hot green tea about 8:30. It hit the spot! The smoothie held me over till about 11. When lunch time came around I was hungry. I had to take a quick lunch...

Chili For a Chilly Day

Burrrr it’s cold tonight! It seems like I was cold all day until I had a warm bowl of chili. Nothing can warm you up better! We had more snow today! I can’t believe all this snow that we’ve been getting. I love how pretty it is but I don’t like how everything just shuts down. I went to the grocery store this afternoon and it was a nightmare. I got all the things I needed and stood in line for about 10 min until realized that the hamburger meat I had in my buggy had a big tear in it. I had to go get another one and get in the back of the line. I just read about all the magazines they had standing in line. Did you know that Charlie Sheen is in rehab?And Justin Beiber is taking over the world?  This is not any kind of special recipe. It's the chili recipe I grew up on. It starts with a chili seasoning packet and its never the same every time I make it. Start by browning your meat. Try to get very lean meat so you don’t’ have to drain it. Chop and dice a 1/2 of an onion and  s...
