Happy Belated Valentine’s Day! As with most things in life, I’m a little late to the party with this one. I had a Valentine’s Day post all planned out in my mind for months and months (yes, really), but ended up feeling a little under the weather all week. So naturally, any activity other than…
Faux Fried Ice Cream Balls with a Trio of Dipping Sauces
Happy Super Bowl Sundae! (See what I did there?) Today is one of my very favorite days of the year – not so much for the football, but more so for the mounds upon mounds of delicious, deep-fried, cheese-covered finger foods that typically invade American households to help us celebrate the most important sporting event…
Homemade Hot Fudge Sauce
I’m not a huge fan of New Year’s resolutions. Don’t get me wrong; I’m all for fresh starts and healthy optimism, the idea that building roadmaps for our yearly aspirations can help us become newer/better/ nicer/healthier/(insert desired result here) people. However, what seems to happen with most of my resolutions is that, despite my best…
Strawberries and Champagne Ice Cream
Happy New Year’s Eve! Do you have any special plans tonight? In our house, we like to lie around, eat cheese, and sip sparkling wine or champagne as we watch other, more adventurous people celebrate on TV. It’s my favorite kind of holiday! A few days ago, when I started drafting this post, I set…
Peppermint Mocha Ice Cream
Happy Christmas Eve! For those of you who are celebrating today and tomorrow, I hope you stay safe and warm while awaiting the arrival of Santa Claus this evening. (And if you happen to live in a region that is already warm, well…you’re already half way there!) So, I’ve been jonesing to make this peppermint…
Simple Raspberry Cheesecake Ice Cream
In honor of my better half’s birthday this week, we decided to spend our weekend doing exactly what we do best. Eating. Our food extravaganza began yesterday morning with a trip to Peet’s coffee, where we braved the winter storm to sip on dark roast coffee and locally baked pain au chocolat that was the…
Vernors Ice Cream with a Caramel Pretzel Swirl
When my fiancé and I first started dating a few years ago, we spent a lot of time exchanging our favorite childhood memories (as most new couples do). Not surprisingly, the majority of these stories often involved the consumption of food in some form or another – family dinners, holiday meals, trips to the local…
Warm Vanilla Bourbon Caramel Sauce
I’m not a huge drinker. In college, I was that girl who always ordered the “fluffy” drinks with mounds of whipped cream…then I’d basically just eat the whipped cream and leave the alcohol part to sit and fester at the bottom of my cup. Oh, who am I kidding; I’m that girl now! I just…
Quick ‘N Dirty Sundae Cones
Earlier this week, I met up with a dear friend of mine on campus for a quick powwow before class. Once we had exchanged pleasantries about the boring stuff (i.e. work and school), we got down to business discussing the most pressing issues of our day: peppermint mochas, holiday shopping, and eventually, this blog. “Always…
Sriracha Peanut Ice Cream
Several important things are happening in our household at the moment: 1) We have a beautiful, tender pot roast gently bubbling away in the slow cooker, marking the first time in a few weeks that we’ve been able to enjoy a real, home-cooked meal. I used this recipe and the smell alone is making my…
Great Lakes Christmas Ale Ice Cream
Hello, everyone! For those of you who celebrate Halloween, I hope that your bellies are full of candy. For those of you who don’t, go buy yourself a big bag of Snickers. You deserve it 🙂 So, All Hallows’ Eve has come and gone, and here in Northeastern Ohio, that can only mean one thing:…
Spiced Hot Chocolate with Cinnamon Dolce Cream
Hello all! What a wonderful week it has been – not only is it finally cold enough to break out my favorite sweaters, hoodies, and wool coats, but Ohio saw its very first snow of the year on Thursday, and I couldn’t be more delighted! The mini-blizzard came and went faster than you can say I should…
