September is a bittersweet month for me. The peak of harvest makes me giddy but it also signals the end of summer. I miss the long sunny days, going to the pool, smoothies and slushies, tomatoes and all manner of freshness. Having grown up

Pineapple Coconut Mint Slush
Here’s reason number 1 why I love this recipe – you can use things you may otherwise just throw out: the pineapple core and the water leftover from making coconut whipped cream. Heck, you can TOP this with coconut whipped cream!

I figured I can’t pay a straight up St. Patrick’s Day homage without putting some “fusion” into the mix. Really, the extent of this tribute is that it uses cabbage — more often associated with Irish cooking than anything I know of except ma
