There are some mornings when you want something sweet. A donut. Toast with jelly. Yogurt with fruit. Cinnamon buns. This is not for those mornings. This is for the mornings you need something salty. Savory. Like maybe this is the morning you woke up with a hangover but still have to go to work. You want something hearty and healthy and salty and savory and fast and easy. Shown here: greek ...

Watermelon and Mango Sorbet
If you don't have an ice cream maker, let me give you a reason to get one. I am a bit of an ice cream obsessive, and these watermelon and mango sorbets are everything this summer. Made with whole fruit and no processed sugar, they're pretty guilt-free. I should also mention that they're easy to make. Just puree ripe fruit and pour into your ice cream maker.

Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream with Fresh Mint
Mint chocolate chip is my favorite ice cream, and this is made entirely from scratch.

Mint takes off and grows like crazy in the summer, and keeping it healthy means frequently cutting it back. ...
