Seriously, why does anyone need cow juice when you can get this amazing frozen delight made with the world’s best “nut” at about a dozen locations all over Albuquerque???

My local grocery store implored customers to buy it by putting up a hand lettered sign saying, “better than ice cream!!!”, and hopefully the message will get through to those a little shy about paying the admittedly steep $6/pint for the ambrosial dessert.  It taps into a recent trend giving gluten and sometimes dairy the cold shoulder, while embracing healthy fats from nuts and fish – including coconut.  Purely unsweetened coconut would fit into a primal diet, and this ain’t unsweetened, but in a showdown vs. regular ice cream, I think you’re in safer territory here.

ice cream but not ice cream

That classic job description, spoken from the lips of a true 80’s kid.

But being processed is what we are?  The latest in one-sided movies (otherwise known as documentaries) wants to show us that we are all processed and that’s a BAD thing.

Pasta Divina LogoPasta Divina has been selling toothsome fresh pasta right from the Farmer’s Markets for well over a year, to cooks and restaurants and gourmands.  A dynamic duo of a native New Mexican and a native Italian, they always provide samples of the featured flavors and recipe suggestions, also available on their website.

The ingredients are certified organic and the flavors strong and outstanding with your own homemade or any high-quality sauce – even just butter!

They’ve finally gained enough recognition and promise that Whole Foods is carrying the brand in their fresh pasta section – congrats to Michelle and Luisella!

Keep in mind that the alien landscape above was a luscious and mouth watering treat mere days prior to this photo.  Yet, homemade foodstuffs lack one of the critical ingredients we’ve learned to rely on in our modern culinary landscape:  preservatives.

Even with its foolproof recipe and top-notch ingredients, time was still the enemy of the final slice of sweet dessert.  Behold the forgotten last piece of pumpkin pie, tragically relegated to the trash bin with its splotchy white growths:
