Cinnamon Stracciatella Ice Cream with Candied Carrots and Toasted Coconut

I recently went on a hike that featured many small paths branching off the main path, and I wondered quietly to myself where each one went.  So, the next day, I went back and decided to explore each of these smaller paths that seemingly led to nowhere.  As I would come to discover, each of the paths were at one point connected with each other and the main path in one large network.  They were connected in such a way that you could hike a slightly different route every time and probably never hike the same route twice. 

As you’ve probably noticed, I often relate a lot of the life lessons I learn to the food I eat and/or cook.  After all, food is such a big part of my life that it is hard not to.  Most recently, I was struck with a realization that both food and life share a very important quality: versatility.

My apologies for taking so long to post.  The end of the semester always lends itself to a lot of stress and very little free time.  Add in a few days of travel, and cooking often goes out the window, as well.  But I am back for the time being, and I hope that with summer quickly approaching I will have more than enough time to keep the recipes and posts coming.
