Shared Recipe Magnificent Mango Ice Cream

"Note: COOKING TIME IS MACHINE TIME, does not include time in freezer. Having six mango trees within arms reach on our property, I'm a fanatic for mango recipes. We've tried so many mango ice cream recipes, including some really good ones. But one thing I've found is that the mouthfeel of all the heavy cream was a bit gross. Here is a recipe th..."

Shared Recipe Painless Pisco

"I wanted a Painkiller sooooo bad!!! So off I go, putting the fruit juices in the shaker. Coconut cream??? OMG - all out!!! This yummy concoction is the result of not wanting to throw out some juice... The Pisco caught my eye as I rummaged through my liquor drawer, and replaces the rum in a traditional Painkiller. And best of all, not an ounce..."

About Me

A note about my rating system. You might notice that I give a lot of fives, a few fours, and little less than that. Usually, I can tell just from the ingredients and the prep method whether or not I'll like it - and I only choose recipes I think I'll like! So I'm rarely disappointed. It's not a matter of "was it good?", it's a matter of "How Good?"

Now for the details!

I'm originally from San Diego, California but now retired and living the "tranquilo" life in Dominical, Costa Rica!

I've always loved to cook for family and friends. Back in the States, had a cookbook collection to rival any library, but sadly had to leave them behind when we moved here. The good news is, I found Food.com and it's even better than having all my cookbooks!

Most of the time, I look at recipes just to get ideas and then go with it from memory or what's in the pantry. Hubby is a great cook, too - and we make a wide variety of foods. We especially love italian, greek, and mexican cuisines.

Here in Costa Rica, it's difficult to find many of the foods we're accustomed to. So I've learned to make many of the basics we used to take for granted, like ricotta cheese, hummus, tahini, teriyaki sauce, Rose's lime juice. Thanks, Food.com for making my search for recipes easier! On the plus side, seafood and veggies are cheap and abundant - the only thing I miss is my USDA Choice ribeye, lamb chops and wild salmon from Costco. Sob!
