Did you know July is National Ice Cream Month in the U.S.? I didn’t! Becky clued me in and I’m glad she did. She and I share a love of making homemade ice cream as often as possible. So…this week, I am posting a bunch of ice cream recipes that I’ve been wanting to share […]
How To Pit Cherries Without A Cherry Pitter
Cherry season has arrived! Let’s all give a hip-hip-hooray! Today I want to share a tip I learned years ago from The Martha about pitting cherries without one of those handy-dandy cherry pitters. If I had a cherry tree of my own, I’d buy one. But this is good enough for us occasional pitters. How […]
Honey and Stone Fruit Ice Cream
This is from my draft folder. Amid many computer problems that last few years, many posts fell by the wayside. Pictures were lost on my other computer, to be found later. You know how it is. What I do remember about this recipe is how glorious it is. Besides taking some cues from Dorie Greenspan’s, […]
Peach-Rose Water Sorbet
Peaches are not in season in Utah, but I am patiently waiting for them to grow and ripen. We had such a beautiful, warm Spring that I’m pretty sure we’ll have early peaches this year. I pulled out my last bag of frozen sliced peaches from last year’s stash and felt a little excitement about […]
Blueberry Lavender Ice Cream
{This is from the archives with newly edited pics. Perfect for Spring and Summer, don’t you think?} I miss the blueberries we picked on the East Coast. It was so magical for my little girl to run through the bushes and pick off the sweet blue globes and drop them into her bucket. She loved […]
Indian Spiced Pear Honey Sorbet
I had a busy weekend. Do you ever have those weekends where you’re glad to see Monday come? Nah, me either. I’m never glad to see Monday come. :) My birthday is tomorrow. I will turn 31. This year I am feeling much better about getting older than when I stared 30 in the face […]
Dairy-Free Meyer Lemon Curd Ice Cream
Meyer lemons. Have you tried them yet? I keep seeing them for sale. I think no one in my community knows how fabulous they are. Even yesterday there were dozens of bags just waiting to be taken home and turned into a lovely lemon curd or ice cream, or both. Man. It’s already March 7th! […]
Pear, Chocolate, Hazelnut Tart (Gluten-Free)
A few weeks before Thanksgiving I gave up gluten again. I was really wondering if I could be strong enough to resist all of my favorite Thanksgiving fixin’s that weren’t GF. I made a plan so it would be easier to be good. I looked for recipes on my favorite GF blogs so that I […]
Peach Lavender Fool
As soon as peach season ends, I’m eagerly awaiting its return. Peach season is my very favorite time of year. Two weeks ago the first freshly picked peaches from my favorite local stand, Allred Orchards, became available. (Believe me when I say that my eyes filled with tears as I turned into the parking […]
Sourdough-Sour Cherry Bread Pudding with Cherry Sauce
It’s summer and I don’t usually make bread pudding in the summertime. I save it for those chilly nights when we bump up the thermostat and pull our sweats on, and snuggle up with a good BBC show. But thinking about that makes me hot and want to jump up and turn my a/c on […]
