Lime Sherbet

I was given an ice cream maker for a mother's day gift.  I was SO excited.  Now I had an easy way to make inexpensive, healthier ice cream.  The machine came with several recipes for sherbet as well.  This is my favourite.


2 cups whole milk
1 container frozen lime concentrate (softened)
3 T sugar

This is mixed together and placed in the ice cream machine.  Prepare according to your machine's directions.


I like a tart sherbet.  The raspberries I paired with this dessert were sweeter than the ice cream!  It was so good and refreshing.  You may want to add more sugar.  You may also want to add a bit of food colouring to make it 'lime' green

Pumpkin Cake

I originally got this recipe from a friend at church, Leslie.  She brought it for a potluck.  Although this dessert maintains a cake-like shape, it has a texture closer to pudding.

Blend the following ingredients & pour into a 9 x 13 pan.

1 lg can pumpkin puree
1½ t cinnamon
¾ t ginger
½ t nutmeg
½ t allspice
4 slightly beaten eggs
1 can evaporated milk
¼ t salt
1½ c sugar

Mix together and crumble over the pumpkin mixture:

½  margarine, melted
1 yellow cake mix

Bake 350F for 45 min.  Serve with ice or whipped cream.

Strawberry Shortcake Tea Biscuits

Apparently, most of the world knows strawberry shortcake with an actual cake base.  I know mine with a tea biscuit.  During the summer, this is occasionally supper with whatever fruit is available.  And whipped cream of course.

2 c flour
1 T baking powder
½ t salt
3 T sugar
½ c butter
2/3 - ¾ c milk or cream

Bake at 400F
