I am super excited to bring you my new logo! A huge thanks to my wonderful brother-in-law, who has been working hard on designing it. (He is much more computer savvy than I am!) You will see it on my facebook page as well! I hope you all like it!
Today, I bring you a wonderful, delicious sorbet recipe. It is extremely simple, and yet incredibly satisfying. It’s funny how pears can be so finicky. In fact, I had these pears sitting on my counter for nearly three weeks before I got tired of looking at them and waiting for them to ripen. But, in the end, there is nothing better than a wonderful juicy pear!
This is a wonderful, refreshing dessert on a hot summer day. I usually have my dessert after lunch (am I weird?), because I don’t feel quite as guilty having it then because I don’t feel as if it will be sitting in my stomach while I am sleeping all night. Or maybe it gives me the excuse to have dessert twice a day? What!? No way. I would never….
