Eunice : Laurie, good luck!! you, your husband and your kitty are adorable...if you don't mind my saying. and your video was unique and set you apart from the other contestants. hope you win!

Laurie Hogan: Thanks so much! Spread the word if you can. I have no idea how many votes we've gotten so far. We've got until Monday to get votes and then we'll find out if we made the top 5.

Eunice : whoa...how did this mint chocolate/spinach frozen yogurt turn out?

Laurie Hogan: Haha... I actually haven't tried it yet. I thought I had fresh mint and apparently I didn't. I was too afraid to put spinach in the ice cream without the mint, so I opted to make regular chocolate chip frozen yogurt. I still plan to try the spinach sometime though.

Eunice : do keep us abreast of the results. and please post the recipe so we could all test it out...or not. that just sounds crazy...but so cool if it works out. i'm just dying to know what it tastes like. Mitchell's Ice Cream in San Francisco made canteloupe ice cream - mighty tasty, fyi - and some other ingredients that were rather exotic but nothing like spinach ice cream...but then Gilroy makes garlic ice cream so guess spinach is not too off-the-wall. recipe is here if spinach isn't challenging enough for you. thanks for the post and really looking forwards to your update on this.

Laurie Hogan: I found the recipe by Googling something like "healthy ice cream recipes." Here's a link to the original: http://healthycooking.suite101.com/article.cfm/mint_chocolate_chip_frozen_yogurt. It might be a while before I make another batch of ice cream, so if anyone else is brave and tries this before I do, let me know if it works out. It calls for 2 cups of spinach, which sounds like a lot to me. I love making desserts too much, so I'm always looking for ways to make them healthier.

Laurie Hogan: Hey, thanks for the message. Your sister is awesome, and she has some good recipes too!
