Blackberry-Strawberry Sherbet
Raise your hand if you can’t wait for Winter to be over? Me, too. I couldn’t resist stocking up on berries at Sunflower Farmer’s Market over the last few weeks. They were having such a great sales on berries. (Although the strawberries left quite a bit to be desired…) Once we ate our fill, I […]
Valentine’s Treats: Red Velvet Bonbons
I love Valentine’s Day. And I love making treats for Valentine’s Day. When I think of Valentine’s, my mind immediately turns to Chocolate Truffles. I adore truffles. For a few years, I’ve been trying to get up the courage to start working with chocolate. This year I decided to take the plunge and make my […]
Pumpkin Muffins with Pecan Streusel
This recipe is a keeper. We’ve made it literally dozens and dozens of times. These Pumpkin Muffins with Pecan Streusel are simple the best pumpkin muffins ever. The recipe comes from Dorie Greenspan’s Baking: From My Home To Yours, which is one of my favorite cookbooks. Every time I pull a batch of these out of […]
Caramel Peanut-Topped Brownie Cake
My mom and sisters came to lunch yesterday and for dessert we cut into this sticky, gooey confection called Caramel Peanut-Topped Brownie Cake. It’s safe to say that all of us came away with a belly ache. Caramel+Peanuts+Brownie Cake=Too Rich Oh, and we ate it with whipped cream and a glass of milk to boot. […]
Summer Menu #11: BBQ Ribs and Potatoes
Well….no baby yet. I’m still packing boxes and cleaning out my cupboard. It’s too hot to do much cooking. And I’m too scatterbrained to do much fancy meal planning. Dinner solution? The slow cooker. My mom used to make BBQ Country Ribs all the time when I was a kid. It was one of my […]
Let’s See What David Lebovitz Says….
I get asked about making homemade ice cream all the time. Really, I don’t feel all too qualified to offer too much advice. My obsession with making my ice cream started when I went to Italy as an 18-year-old and tasted gelato for the first time. It wasn’t until several years later when I was […]
Frozen Coconut Key Lime Tart
This Frozen Coconut Key Lime Tart is really, really good. It’s so refreshing on a hot July day, or even a cold day in December. We love, love, love it! Really, we love anything with coconut and lime is sure to be a winner. There is coconut in both the crust and the filling. That […]
Garden Update #3
(the peas growing wildly in and out of their container) Our porch garden has come a long way in three weeks since my last little garden update. And a really long way since we first planted seeds at the beginning of May. (Nasturtiums) This picture was taken yesterday afternoon, and just this morning I noticed […]
White Cherry, Honey, Yogurt Sorbet
I went to my favorite Latin American market and was enamored with the gorgeous white cherries they had. I tucked my two bags away in the crisper where they were forgotten for a few days. When I remembered they were there, I got super excited. It was outrageously hot. I needed something cold to eat. […]
Malted Oatmeal Chocolate Chunk Cookies
I’m a huge fan of malt, but my husband is more so. He adores it. My little chef and I decided to make him a batch of malted cookies last week after he’d had a particularly hard day at work. Three of his favorite things in one cookie–malt, oatmeal, and milk chocolate. They were a […]
