Share:Pin on PinterestShare on FacebookTweet about this on Twitter

Our first dessert recipe! And I’m not trying to brag, but I really impressed myself with this one. This recipe goes way back in my dad’s family and has been a favorite summer treat of mine for as long as I can remember. Because of how drastic the healthy modifications are, I wasn’t sure this one would be worth sharing. BUT, it is! So yay to that!! It tastes JUST as amazing as I remember and it’s actually good for you. A healthy dessert is a major win in my book.

Original Recipe:

  • 1 quart of buttermilk
  • 2 cups of sugar
  • 1 pint crushed pineapple (1 can)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 egg white

Combine all ingredients except egg white and stir until mixed well

Place in freezer until mushy – about 2 hours

Remove from freezer and add a stiffly beaten egg white

Return to freezer

ENJOY!

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 egg white

Place in freezer until mushy – about 2 hours

Remove from freezer and add a stiffly beaten egg white

Return to freezer

ENJOY!

I was born a foodie. My dad is a chef, baker, and restaurant owner and my mom might as well be because she owns whatever kitchen she walks into. I grew up working in my family’s restaurant and bakery in Pawling, New York – McKinney and Doyle. I started behind the bakery counter at 12 years old after begging my parents to let me start working. At 16 I worked as a hostess. By 18 I was serving tables and training behind the bar where I then worked every other weekend throughout my college career. Even now, when I am visiting my family in New York, I help out where I’m needed. To make a long story short, the food and restaurant industry has been my life for as long as I can remember.

I wanted to create this blog for a few reasons. First and foremost, to share tips, tricks, and knowledge about the food and beverage industry in general but also to help people see a different side of the restaurant world. Every restaurant has a totally unique culture and world within it. I want to help open people’s eyes to more than how fast the service is or how easy or hard it is to secure a reservation.

So, thanks for stopping by! I welcome your ideas, input, and feedback and hope you enjoy!

Eat well & travel often,

Becky McKinney
