Rhubarb-Yogurt Mini Loaves

When Jake told me that he was out the door before 6am to go salmon fishing with two of our friends, I thought: I need to bake something tonight so I don't have to get up with him at 5am. I still ended up waking up with him, but I had whipped up these loaves the night before anyway, so I was just there for a good morning kiss.

1/2 C olive oil
1 C organic granulated sugar
1 egg, beaten
2 C all-purpose flour
1 t baking soda
1/2 t pink Himalaya salt
1 C organic, whole milk yogurt
2 C fresh rhubarb, thickly sliced

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease mini loaf pan. In a large bowl, blend all of the wet ingredients together. Mix thoroughly. Add flour and mix until just moistened. Stir in rhubarb. Spoon into prepared pans. Sprinkle with sliced almonds and organic granulated sugar. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Let cool completely and slice to serve.

When I teach, I don't always get to shoot photos. Thankfully, D grabbed my camera and snapped a few.

Whisk to dissolve sugar, then lower heat an...

Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream

As we headed inland from the coast, I cringed as the temperature gauge in the car for outside temp climbed into the triple digits. Ugh. I'm a rather wimpy central coastal Californian who begins to wilt when it's 70 degrees outside. Thank goodness for air conditioning and a planned ice cream stop. When I parked the car outside Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream in Santa Rosa, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. We knew that we still had to get to the campsite...and set up our tents in the heat. But we were going to enjoy the cool, sweet treats from Frozen Art first! Michoacana ice creameries are the equivalent of Starbucks in Mexico; they're ubiquitous. Purists, however, claim that operating a true Michoacana ice cream shop require ties to Tocumbo. It's estimated that almost ninety percent of the Tocumban population is currently employed in the ice cream business from making ice cream itself to making equipment. But the real art of Tocumban ice creams: imaginat...
