Signs of Menopause

As the temperature starts to rise, I am often inundated with requests for my ice cream and sorbet recipes. And this year is no different.

One of my favorite recipes is a blueberry-pomegranate sorbet that is not only packed with amazing antioxidants, but also helps cool hot flashes, tames night sweats, and eases other menopause symptoms. Enjoy!
