A couple weeks ago a group of friends and I all went out to eat at a local Indian restaurant. We used to all go to the buffet at the Indian restaurant in Bangor, ME before we moved here (Portland, ME), so I have grown to like it.
They use a lot of curry in southeast Asia and it's not surprising it has a lot of great health benefits. Most curry powders contain tumeric, which has a multitude of medicinal properties. So, why not put curry in your desserts?

Over the long weekend I decided to make some yummy hazelnut ice cream in my special Play & Freeze ice cream ball. What's so special about it? Well, you'll see in the photos, but here's a hint: IT GLOWS!
My recipe? It was pretty simple:
1 pint half & half
1/3 cup + 2 tbsp sugar
3-4 tbsp hazelnut syrup for coffee (like this one) -- you can do this to taste. Mine was strong, but I like it that way.
Ok, so I mixed up the ingredients and poured them in one end of the ball. I filled up the ... {Tags: glow, hazelnut, light up, play & freeze} {More...}

Please forgive the cheesy post title.
When Dairy is Not Your Friend is a great blog written by Sara who describes herself as "Slightly obsessive about many things." I, for one, am glad she's obsessive about soy ice creams. She has a great post reviewing many flavors of soy ice creams found in various stores. Definitely check it out if you're lactose intolerant and still want ice cream, or if you just need to read a review before forking over the cash for a pint of soy ice cream.
Sara even shares with you coupons (although this post is ... {Tags: non-dairy, soy, vegan} {More...}

There is never-ending supply of information about omega-3 fatty acids and how, when added to your diet, they can vastly improve your cholesterol & triglyceride levels and also help with your hair, skin and nails. Even people who regularly consume foods rich in omega-3s (like salmon, avocados and nuts) are being urged to take a fish oil supplement because we just don't get enough.
They are even adding it to baby formula since it is such an essential part of our life. "Scientists report that adding long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids -- typically found in fish oil -- to baby ... {Tags: avocado, healthy, omega-3s} {More...}

Cathe Olson at vegfamily.com has a great recipe for vegan fudgesicles. This recipe makes 1-1/4 quarts, so you'll have to trim it down when you use your Play & Freeze.
Fudgesicle Ice Cream
This vegan ice cream is fudgier and icier than real ice cream - very similar in taste and texture to a Fudgesicle. It gets very hard in the freezer so if you have leftovers, plan to leave them out up to 30 minutes (depending on how much you have) to soften before eating.
4 cups soy or rice milk
2 tablespoons arrowroot powder
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup unrefined sugar
3/4 cup ... {Tags: chocolate, fudgesicle, non-dairy, vegan} {More...}
