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 [...]
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 [...]
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. [...]
