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.
Thanksgiving Muffins
Made with sweet potatoes, dried cranberries, and pecans, these taste like they should be on a holiday table!
Trout Tacos
These trout tacos take advantage of trout's mild, delicate flavor. With a semi-homemade slaw, crema, lime, and guacamole, these fish tacos are really tasty.
