OTHER FROZEN DIY TREATS

Tangerine and Other Fruit Ices
(Recipe Below)
This luscious tangerine ice is worth the effort. There are recipes for it all over the various social media platforms.  The tangerines are from MOROCCO. (Got them at Costco). Blood oranges, if you can find them, would be great to celebrate the Blood Moon on March 13th (2025). 
Ingredients: 
**8 seedless Tangerines 
**1/4 c. Maple Syrup 
**Zest from 8 oranges 
**1 Cup of whole fat Coconut Milk
**1/4 teaspoon Xanthan gum powder
DIRECTIONS: 
1. Wash, dry, and zest the 8 tangerines. 
2. Peel and half the tangerines around their equators. 
3. Remove as much white (bitter) strings and fibre from the fruit. 4. Freeze for about 2 hours. 
5. Put frozen tangerines, maple syrup, zest, and coconut milk in the blender. 
6. Sprinkle the Xanthan over the blender ingredients. Xanthan is a natural ingredient often used when creating recipes for people on gluten-free diets. It makes the vegan ice cream less densely iced, smooth and creamy like regular ice cream.
7. Blend until smooth and creamy. 8. Freeze for about 4-8 hours in a glass container, covered. 
TO SERVE: 
Remove to fridge for a while or on counter let it sit for a few minutes. Use a hot ice cream scoop to scoop it out to serve. Very refreshing and delicious. Also tried it with frozen strawberries and homemade cashew cream (cashews, water, maple syrup in blender) and that too was very delicious.  Use it with frozen raspberries, mango,and of course, bananas and cacao powder. Have fun! Stay cool!

Spunky Monkey DIY Vegan Chocolate-Chia Ice Cream

Vegan, plant-based, and 100% delicious! This creamy homemade ice cream will win over everyone— no politics, just pure joy. Vegan and Delicious: Everyone Will Love This! Sometimes the word "vegan" evokes strong feelings like anxiety (as in "Please don't take away my meat") and/or hostility (as in "What a bunch of commie flakes all vegans are"). There are probably good reasons for both of these passionate emotions because we frequently come across strident, fear-mongering diatribes online blasting us from the ivory towers of the most raging animal-freedom activist or the highly evangelistic plant-based health advocate. "Plant-based" is an alternate description for a lifestyle choice to eat from the array of fruit, greens, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. Using the term "plant-based" instead of "vegan" may be less intimidating. It even sounds like, although the diet has a plant-based foundation, it possibly includes meat and eggs...

G7 2025: Why It Matters

  57th G7 Summit- Wikipedia commons. What is the G7? 🤝 The Group of Seven (G7) is a forum of seven wealthy, democratic nations: Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, and Japan, along with the European Union . It started in 1975 as the G6 to coordinate responses to global economic shocks like inflation and oil shortages. Canada joined in 1976 to form the G7(1). Russia was briefly part of the group (making it the G8), but was expelled in 2014 after invading Crimea (2). How Does It Work? The G7 is informal — there’s no permanent office, headquarters, or constitution . One country hosts the summit each year and sets the agenda. Leadership rotates annually among the member countries in a fixed order (3). The summit itself is usually a 3-day event where world leaders meet in private for discussions, photo ops, and joint statements (although this year’s format is changing — more on that later). What’s the Point? The G7’s original mission was to tackl...
