Limeabalemon Glaciate
Slightly bitter and extremely refreshing, this is one instance of what I have dubbed blender-miracles. Throw everything in and blend away! Make sure to use a well-ripened banana to add extra sweetness. If the end result is still slightly too bitter, blend in sugar to taste. This pairs nicely with a balsamic salad.
Coconut Sour Cream Pound Cake
My mother-in-law always makes this pound cake for holidays. That makes this cake very special, but it really could be made any time of the year! Even people who don't like the texture of coconut love this cake because the only coconut in it is the flavoring.
Mango Shrimp Ceviche
This mango shrimp ceviche is the perfect summer dish. With crunchy cucumber, juicy tomatoes and mango, jalapeno, and lime juice, it's light, full of flavor, and a great combination of sweet and heat.
