Tropical Icebox Cake

An icebox cake is the ultimate indulgence on a hot summer day.  It’s an easy, no-bake dessert, and it gives you an excuse to stick your head in the freezer.

Papaya Coladas

We pass miles of neighborhoods on our way to the Florida Keys, and I think everyone’s got a papaya tree in their backyard. Maybe they just stand out to me because they tower high above the fences and rooftops with big, snowflake-shaped leaves and rows of fruit.

Caribbean Coconut Fish Bowls

Maybe it was the Marley documentary, or the new Jamaican restaurant in town, or a few rainy days, but something has me dreaming of the Caribbean lately.

Calamondin Coconut Bars

There used to be a restaurant in Tampa that specialized in raw veganism called Grass Root. Even though I’m not vegan and I love cooking with fire, I liked going there.  You would not believe how creative these people got with their fruits and vegetables.

My nieces and I have decided to be real pen pals.  Email is a quick and easy way to stay in touch, but they’ve recently discovered the beauty of a handwritten note by snail mail.  These letters are special.  

Grilled Mango Splits

I’ve been traveling a lot this summer, but that’s not why I haven’t posted in a while.  Let’s just say you should not enjoy the food and drinks you find on this blog while sitting in front of your laptop.  

Seminole Pumpkin Coconut Curry

Seminole pumpkins are really sweet.  Most of the traditional recipes I’ve found for them are desserts and breads.  I love pumpkin pie, but not so much in May.
