While theme parks are still closed, there's no need to go into Dole Whip withdrawal. I love the fact that they're encouraging folks to make their own at home with a #DIYDoleWhip contest. Well, I've BEEN ready for this challenge, because my version is already locked and loaded in the pages of Real Food, Really Fast as "Whole Fruit Whip." Spoiler alert: it's pretty much just blended frozen bananas and pineapple. Crazy simple and crazy delicious. The only way to top that is by making it a float with pineapple soda! 🍍🍌

Got that summer feeling? Ease into the weekend with a seriously sweet way to beat the heat. ⁣ ⁣ The s'mores frappuccino is one of Starbucks' best-selling seasonal treats, but is impossible to veganize. Happily, you can start from scratch right at home! ⁣ ⁣ My DIY recipe uses aquafaba marshmallow fluff instead of whipped cream for a lighter, more flavorful finish. A refreshing blended mocha base is topped off by this fluffy flourish, along with homemade chocolate syrup and crushed graham crackers. It's all the best tastes of summer, without the campfire.⁣ ⁣ Get the recipe on my blog (and subscribe while you're there, why don't you?)

Remember when we used to go out to restaurants, meet up with friends, hug, laugh out loud, share plates, and double-dip with abandon?⁣ ⁣ I'm just feeling wistful and wishful or this #throwbackthursday. Remembering a happier time of dining out at Pyeochang Tofu House, which is now truly the stuff of legends. I miss the food, sure, but I miss the people and experience more now.

As much as I love cooking, I am NOT excited about firing up the stove when it's pushing 90 degrees outside. Rare that it gets so hot in the bay area, especially this time of year, but what else makes sense these days?⁣ ⁣ @soundandsavor to the rescue tonight. He's the one taking the heat to turn out perfectly refreshing spread of Mediterranean fare.⁣ ⁣ The crowning jewel in this box of rubies is the white gazpacho. Anyone who's had Phil's gazpacho before knows what I'm taking about. Creamy blanched almonds blend with garlic and herbs to create a rich and yet broth that's downright drinkable. It's hard to believe that so much flavor comes from such simple ingredients. ⁣ ⁣ A trio of salads keep things cool. Three beans lavished with basil and olive oil, mustard-spiked potatoes, and marinated cucumbers each bring their own style to the party, but know how to mingle and dance all together.⁣ ⁣ Holding down the fort with a hearty serving of greens and grains, the broccoli rabe with pine nuts and olives could turn everyone into a vegetable-lover, and the rice pilaf with dried fruit is a sweet, savory foundation for guaranteed satisfaction.⁣ ⁣ Cooling from the inside out. This sure beats my alternate plans of sitting in the fridge all night.
