If you wanna learn how to cook rice, always ask a Brazilian. Rice is the first thing we learn how to make in the kitchen. It usually goes like this: girl gets married, comes back from the honeymoon and realizes she has to start cooking or both she and her husband will starve to death (down there, men rarely know how to cook!), then calls her mom to ask how to make rice and how to fry an egg....

My children love milkshakes and are quite picky about them. There is nothing wrong with that, except I often find myself trying to figure out how to make a milkshake without ice cream as we don’t normally have a container of vanilla ice cream sitting in our freezer. I would typically go and buy ice cream when I know I would be making milkshakes. I suspect this is the case with many people....

Lean protein? Check! Veggies? Yep! Whole grains? Uh huh. The gang’s all here.

In an end-of-days scenario in which I have to pick just one dessert to enjoy for the rest of my life, my answer is ice cream. I could eat ice cream twice a day, every day…and when this oat milk ice cream was in my freezer, that’s exactly what I did! Ben and I share a weakness for ice cream. We have an unspoken agreement that when one of us suggests a spontaneous trip to our favorite local ice cream joint, the other one must oblige....
