Honey Rhubarb Ice

So i found an awesome recipe for rhubarb sorbet, (been in a frozen goods mood) but it called for sugar and i'm cutting all sugar, gluten, and dairy out of my diet. So i made a few adjustments. Also, peeling the rhubarb will make it smoother and pulp-less.
it actually turned out more like an ice, but its still super delish :)








Ingredients:
3 1/2 C. Chopped rhubarb
2 1/2 C. Water (which you can substitute with coconut milk)
1 1/4 C. Honey
1/4 ts. Salt
2 ts. Orange zest
2 TB. corn syrup (or more honey)

Place first 6 ingredients in a saucepan. Bring to boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer until rhubarb easily falls apart. Cool for 10 minutes. Working in batches, purée in a blender until smooth. Stir in the corn syrup. Cover and refrigerate until totally cooled. Transfer to an airtight container and place in freezer. You can either leave it all to freeze, or when you start getting ice crystals around the corners, you can scrape it all around the edges and beat with an electric mixer, and repeat that for a couple hours. That will make  it a little more fluffy/creamy. Bon Apétit!

Paprika Feta Potatoes



This is quite a simple recipe, its fast and still very tasty. I love potatoes and paprika so its perfect for me :)

  • 1 TB. Paprika
  • 1TB. Chili Powder
  • 1 ts. Sea Salt
  • Grape-seed Oil (For drizzling)
  • Feta Cheese
Cut potatoes into small wedges
Place onto small baking sheet
Drizzle Grapeseed oil onto potatoes and mix around till oil is evenly distributed (use a fair amount)
In small bowl, mix together the paprika, chili powder, and salt.
Sprinkle over top the potatoes and mix again until the mixture is evenly distributed.
Place in oven preheated to 300 F and bake for 30-45 minutes. (The time always varies whenever i make these)
When done, sprinkle with a desired amount of feta cheese. Bon appétit!
