For me, ice cream is a food group all its own. Even if I’m making another dessert–brownies or cake–I feel that I need ice cream. And homemade? You just can’t beat that. This recipe costs about the same as a half gallon of store bought ice cream and with 5 ingredients. Quick and easy, and […]
One Ingredient Banana Ice Cream Recipe
We wanted to go out for ice cream. But we were hesitant. Deep down inside we both knew it wasn’t the wisest choice we could make, seeing as how we’ve both gained a few pounds in recent weeks. Then Kevin recalled me talking about this simple banana ice cream. He referred to it as “that […]
Rhubarb Muffins Recipe
With a last wave of rhubarb in the summer harvest, I was looking for a delicious use for this unique crop. These Rhubarb muffins are the PERFECT solution. Kevin and I devoured a muffin (or two) as soon as they were cool enough to eat. Even if you don’t think you like rhubarb, you should […]
Rhubarb Sauce Recipe
I am a bit new to the rhubarb thing. I hadn’t even heard of this vegetable/fruit/anomaly until Kevin’s family introduced me to Strawberry Rhubarb Pie. It was delicious, but I still wasn’t sure what part the rhubarb played in the pie. It seemed like a strange filler to me. Thankfully, when we were given 15+ stalks […]
Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies
You all know I can’t pass up an opportunity to bake some chocolate chip cookies. It happens FAR MORE than you might think. This past Sunday was our first youth group event with our new teens at our new home church in our new town in our new state. It was a PERFECT opportunity to […]
Sour Cream Cookies
A few months ago, my grandma was cleaning out her pantry cupboard and came across this recipe for Sour Cream Cookies. Though the combination of sour cream and cookie sounded strange to me, I was intrigued. Grams went on to tell me how her mother used to make these cookies frequently. That decided it! I […]
Watermelon Lime Sorbet
I bought a full size gigantic watermelon at the market. No big deal, right? It was on sale, I hadn’t yet gotten my summer watermelon fix, and the temperatures were skyrocketing. Perfect choice. The only problem? I bought this enormous hunk of fruit for just the two of us. Yep, that’s right. A whole watermelon […]
Peanut Butter S’mores
You may have noticed one of those S’mores was not like the other. If you didn’t, here’s an upclose encounter with the best addition the s’more has ever seen. PEANUT BUTTER. Graham crackers with peanut butter is one of my favorite snacks. Chocolate and peanut butter is my all-time favorite combination. Thus, spreading peanut butter […]
Indoor S’mores
Whenever we go camping, s’mores are the top of my priority list. Packing those 3 tasty ingredients is one thing I have never forgotten to do. My husband and I like to compete over who roasts the better marshmallow. The best part? I get to eat all of the results! Score! We returned home from […]
Mango Nectarine Sorbet
On a scorching hot day, I was craving something sweet and something very cold. Ice cream was the obvious choice, but with no heavy cream in the refrigerator, I started looking for other options. There was a fresh mango on my counter–not quite enough for sorbet. But there was a drawer full of nectarines as […]
