Food Geometry

I love the shapes of fruit specially when cut.

One of Mom's many famous deserts was her individual Baked Alaskas. She usually made them with French Vanilla ice cream (Dad's favorite), but I thought it would be fun to pair the pineapple and coconut with raspberry ice cream instead.

Pomegranate and pineapple give this fresh, herby, crisp salad a fruity tang!

Dad could take or leave anything about holiday dinners—except this salad. It made Christmas for him, and now it does for us, too.

Birthday Bash! When life gives you pineapples...add rum! Cool off and celebrate the day with this classic frozen cocktail by the pool.

I would love to have a Birthday Bash with these fancy pineapples.

A healthy way to enjoy superfoods in the morning

My husband and I wrote this recipe as a gift and signature cocktail for our trip to Hawaii to celebrate my parents' 50th wedding anniversary. Inspired by a misunderstanding on a patio somewhere in Oregon. My parents overheard a nearby table ask the waiter for a "Thirsty Bulldog". Intrigued, they asked the waiter if they could have one as well. It was not a cocktail, but rather the people had asked the waiter for water for their thirsty bulldog who was under the table enjoying the shade. My husband loves to create cocktails, and thus the amusing story became a beloved tropical cocktail. Side note: The house we rented in Hawaii was owned by a man who had a bulldog named Boozer. So if you make this drink in the blender as a frozen drink, you'll be drinking a "Thirsty Boozer".

I'm not sure what the collective noun for smoothies is but rainbow seems pretty appropriate in this case!
