delicious seasonal eats
This Persimmon Ice Cream starts with slow roasted persimmons. No sugar added, 100% fruit-sweetened. Last year I took the plunge and decided to finally try persimmons. I had bought them many times but they were only used for decoration, or sat on my counter while I tried to decide what to do with them. And […]
This Strawberry Rhubarb Sherbet recipe, which I originally posted in the early, early days of Cafe Johnsonia, remains one of our very favorites to this day. I know we typically think of rhubarb as a late spring/early summer thing, but I’ve still been seeing rhubarb all over at nearby farm stands. That’s a good thing because […]
This post is sponsored by Pamela’s Products as part of an on-going partnership. I’m so happy to be a Baking Partner again in 2015! School started today, and both my husband and I are beside ourselves with joy. Ha! We had a great summer, but there’s always that little sigh of relief when we get […]
The weather the last few days has been so gorgeous – incredibly chilly, but gorgeous. And this morning…it snowed! I’m totally NOT ready for it to be winter yet. Our trees have almost lost all of their leaves (sniff, sniff) and we’ve turned on the heat. The cold weather clothes are now out of storage […]
I know what you’re thinking. Well, maybe I do. If you’re like a certain person I live with, you think it’s completely illogical to make ice cream (or call it ice “cream”) if it’s vegan. I get it. I do. But I’m here to tell you, vegan ice cream is great. Fantastic even. It’s not […]
You might be looking at this bowl of Pumpkin Butter Pecan Ice Cream and thinking I’ve just loaded it up with all of those scoops for the picture. And, honestly, you are right. However, I’m kind of willing to bet that between the two of us, my husband and I ate that much straight out […]
Yes. I went there. Believe me when I say that Caramel Peach Ice Cream is definitely where you want to go. Pinky swear. It kinda started when we bought our first pint of the best sea salt caramel gelato we’ve ever tasted. Now you might be tired of seeing salted caramel this and that and […]
Oh….hello. Just me with another summer ice cream recipe to ruin your diet. This Almond Cherry Chocolate Chip Ice Cream combines three of our favorite flavors in one creamy, decadent ice cream. Needless to say, it was a huge hit with my family. Local cherries are on right now and they are as delicious as […]
We were invited to celebrate summer with Tillamook Ice Cream. As you know, our family loves ice cream in any way, shape or form. When it comes to store-bought ice cream, Tillamook is my family’s go-to favorite. They sent us some coupons and we were able to pick out a flavor for each of […]
So it’s finally summer around our neck of the woods and all my kids can think about is homemade ice cream and popsicles and how many hours they can spend outside playing each day. All good things, I think. Isn’t that really what summer is about? We ushered in summer vacation with the inaugural […]
