A CULINARY ADVENTURE FROM THE DEEP SOUTH TO THE GREAT NORTHWEST

Tom Brady may have 7 Super Bowl rings, but my dairy free and vegan version of his avocado ice cream is the real winner. A couple of weeks ago, my nephew Charlie challenged me to make Tom Brady’s famous (or rather infamous based on the online reviews) Avocado Ice Cream. With Lent approaching and wanting…
A vegetable side dish for dinner does not have to be a big salad or boring roasted broccoli. We can do better. I love nothing more than to raid my fridge and pantry, find little hidden treasures and cook them up. That’s exactly what this recipe is- stuff I found in my fridge and pantry…
