Strawberry Rhubarb Pie

June 3, 2013

My mom is in town and she's the queen of making healthier versions of delicious foods. She just has that knack for knowing what substitutes work, what won't, and ultimately, how to fine tune a recipe to be a bit more healthy and clean. We made this pie together (though it was really more her than me), and the end result was a delicious resplendent filling with a crunchy, graham crackery crust.

With only three little ingredients and less than five minutes to make, I've kept a batch of this sorbet in the freezer ever since my mother-in-law introduced me to the recipe about a month ago. Being more of a cookie person, I don't usually gravitate toward frozen desserts but the sorbet is so flavorful and so refreshing on a hot day that I think my cookie days are on hold (for now).

You're skeptical that avocado ice cream could be awesome? I get it. Avocados are for guacamole and salads. But ever since I made avocado chocolate pudding I've been a fan of experimenting with them in desserts and this mint ice cream is another surprising win. I used this recipe, but made a couple changes. The end result was a creamy, delicious mint chip ice cream and you'd honestly never know it was made with avocado because there isn't a hint of it in its taste. Hope you enjoy!

Before all this started, however, I was still enjoying the Lara bars I had made and decided I'd experiment with other ingredients. I kept these in the freezer and they tasted like cookie dough, so clearly it was a win. Just as easy to make and assemble as the Lara bar, and equally delicious as a mid-afternoon pick-me-up.

I love Lara Bars and have always been drawn to them at the grocery store back home because their ingredient list is unbelievably short (and healthy). And also because I have an inspirational badass cousin named Lara. (No, seriously, she's a blackhawk pilot.)

These bars were so easy to make and with the fresh ingredients it was no surprise that they tasted better than the packaged product. Here's what I did:
