I hope you’re not too sick of sweets after the holiday weekend… I’ve got a good one for you today! I have to sneak it in before the New Year, because I’m pretty sure it won’t help you with any of your resolutions (unless, of course, your resolution is to try some fabulous new flavors…
I love to bake all year long, but I think I enjoy it the most in the fall. This week’s selections for my Friday Favorites certainly reflect that. I had good intentions of choosing a few savory recipes, but there were just so many sweet ones that grabbed my eye. I’m hoping you’ll love them as much as…
Last summer, I finally figured out the whole homemade ice cream thing. After a year or two of icy homemade ice cream that turned into a brick when I popped it into the freezer, I finally realized that starting with a custard base was the way to go. I’ve been making lots (and lots) of…
Oh my how time flies! It seems like just yesterday that I was contemplating starting a little blog to keep track of my recipes online (and spare myself the hassle of constantly hand writing recipe cards for friends and family!). Yet somehow I’ve now managed to write a few blog posts (oh, 600 or so)…

This week, I really have the 4th of July on the brain… You may have noticed that if you’ve seen all of the 4th of July dessert ideas I’ve been posting this week (from ice cream to sorbet to s’mores cookie sandwiches!). I just can’t help myself! While I’m not a big fan of summer…
A few weeks ago, my mom did some cherry picking at a local orchard… And, since cherry picking is not one of my post-surgery approved activities, she picked some cherries for me and brought them over to my house. My mom is good like that! While the cherries were fabulous for snacking (believe me, my…
This month was one of my favorite challenges since I started Kitchen Bootcamp last April (can you believe it’s been over a year now?)… We all know that I am a big fan of desserts (especially ice cream), so I had great hopes for this challenge. While I didn’t have nearly as much time as…
It’s no secret that I love to make homemade ice cream… Especially in the summer! So, when given the chance to guest post over at She’s Becoming DoughMessTic, I could think of nothing better than to share a few of my tips for making creamy and rich homemade ice cream! It’s really quite simple once…
There are few things better than fresh, sweet strawberries… Except maybe strawberry shortcake. And, if you ask me, replacing the shortcake with brownies makes it even better! Even though I don’t have tons of energy for cooking and baking, I have started to get back into the kitchen a bit. Over the weekend, my mom…
