The early days I grew up in Southern California, a pretty typical, happy kid–I was rambunctious, loved animals, and could usually be found bossing everyone around (what can I say, oldest of four?).

Instead of craving chips or ice cream, these days my body asks for sea salt, extra carbohydrates, half an avocado, or omega-3 loaded salmon.

Strawberry-Orange Sorbet
Sorbets of all kinds are wonderful, easy-to-make treats any time you’re craving something sweet and simple. Strawberries and oranges combine for the best of both worlds, something deliciously sweet and tart. If you don’t have an ice cream maker, you can also make this in a high-powered blender by blending it, freezing it for fifteen minutes, blending it, and repeating two or three times until ...
