HeavenLy’s Yogurt

HeavenLy’s Yogurt

There are dozens of commendable frozen yogurt shops in Sacramento, but none of them quite compare to my personal favorite, HeavenLy’s Yogurt. Tucked on the corner of 56th and H Street in East Sacramento, HeavenLy’s is a charming yogurt shop with endless flavor possibilities and an exceptionally friendly staff. With more than 50 toppings to choose from, a root beer float fountain, and two dozen yogurt flavors that range from Alpine Vanilla to Non-Fat Green Apple and even Irish Mint – it’s impossible to get bored with the limitless combinations!

Dairy-Free Kheer

Dairy-Free Kheer


Recently I had an Indian dinner party. I made a very simple Indian dessert, kheer, but I made it dairy-free. One of my guests has a lactose intolerance, so I substituted rice milk for cow's milk.
