It is starfruit season in Florida, and our tree is heavy with fruit. About a week ago, a summer storm came through and with the weight of the rain and the strength of the wind took down a large branch full of fruit. It was ripe enough to collect (about 5 shopping bags worth) and we've been swimming in fruit ever since; eating it for breakfast, juicing it, snacking on it and giving bags away to ...

Berry Breakfast Pops with Yogurt and Fruit
This is one of my most favorite breakfast ideas ever, berry breakfast pops. Just a couple ingredients and endless possibilities, you can take this to-go on your way to work or have your breakfast outside, poolside.

Homemade Fruit Infused Vodka
If flavored vodka makes you think of the drunken mistakes of your twenties, then it's time to get reacquainted. Fruit infused vodka (or spirits like rum or bourbon) are an easy way to customize or even dress up a cheap-o bottle of something. It's also a great way to get an extra mile out of fruit trimmings (like the pineapple pictured) or overripe or bruised fruit. It's super easy and really all ...
