I had a surplus of strawberries in the fridge (Cooper’s favorite fruit!) and wanted to make a sorbet that I could enjoy (with a cocktail!).  I also wanted sorbet but didn’t want to leave the house. Maybe I just didn’t want to wear pants.

The Pimm’s brings out the strawberries perfectly. They’re sweet and summery! The color is something else too! In this rendition, I cut up fresh strawberries, added Pimm’s  liqueur a few scoops of the Strawberry Pimm’s Sorbet and a few slices of cucumber to make it more like a Pimm’s Cup. You could add a little ginger ale or lemon soda and make it a Strawberry Pimm’s Cup Float!  Also– you can make Pimm’s Cup Popsicles. I stood over the sink and devoured two bowls of this sorbet. That means it’s good, yo!

Green Beans with Ginger & Lime


Add Green Beans with Ginger & Lime to your weeknight menu. It's a perfect #meatlessmonday meal! Recipe on shutterbean.com
I was trying to find a recipe that was on the healthier spectrum. I’ve eaten too many fries lately.

It’s probably because they’re so easy to order.

Add Green Beans with Ginger & Lime to your weeknight menu. It's a perfect #meatlessmonday meal! Recipe on shutterbean.com

These cooked green beans get tossed in a ginger lime vinaigrette. Roasted peanuts are toasted and chopped and combine with cilantro to make an incredible salad. Things I could eat this with: Rice, in a baked potato (yeah! try it!) on top of cold soba noodles. Oh! I would also put crispy tofu in the mix…kinda like this awesome salad.  Add it to your meal prep this week. Your fridge will thank you.
