The next ice cream creation May 8, 2012 2 Comments

I haven’t made ice cream in a couple of weeks due to my hectic schedule but when I have an open day next weekend and I have a plan. A plan that involves homemade ice cream, homemade cake and a meeting of the two that includes some caramel. Why did it take me so long [...]

Let’s Eat April 24, 2012 No Comments

It’s a tough race, but my ‘let’s eat’ Pinterest board is working its way to the top of my list lately. It might be the reason I went on a 30-minute search for the perfect calzone recipe today. Just maybe… While the majority of the pins are sweets related, I’ve got some hearty dinner dishes [...]

Dish It: Marinated Cheese April 10, 2012 4 Comments

Last summer I went to a baby shower and the hostess made an appetizer called ‘marinated cheese.’ I was a bit hesitant at first, but somehow I ended up with a front row seat to the appetizer table (like always) and ate almost the entire thing on my own. Needless to say, I was converted. [...]

Another Ice Cream Weekend March 30, 2012 No Comments

I saw this image, then checked the weather and if it’s really going to be 80 degrees tomorrow, I’m definitely making another batch of ice cream. That I know for sure. Other than eating said ice cream on a sunny porch I have very few plans for the next days. It’s an unusual concept in [...]

The ice cream maker I mentioned here is back in my possession and was immediately put to work. On Sunday afternoon, the Red Head and I whipped up a huge batch of chocolate ice cream, paired it with Oreos and clinked spoons to a successful meal (yes, we ate it for dinner). My ice cream [...]

Chocolate Chip Heaven? March 8, 2012 No Comments

Remember last week when I casually mentioned that I might throw a bag of mysterious Christmas candy cane kisses into a chocolate cookie recipe? Well, that was the best decision ever. Using this cookie recipe, these stale kisses, a cup of chocolate chips and a large knife for chopping, I created my favorite cookies to [...]

This Pantone color feature using food is genius. It’s a tough call, but that zucchini green might be my favorite. Followed closely by strawberry red. Source: Griottes

Craving Chocolate March 1, 2012 1 Comment

Last night the Red Head requested ‘a good old fashioned chocolate cake.’ I’m not really in a cake mood, but chocolate chocolate chip cookies sound about right. And I just found a mysterious bag of candy cane Hershey kisses in the cabinet, so those might even be thrown in the mix as well. We’ll save [...]
