Growing up, we never had any “fun” cereal around the house (much to my extreme chagrin and utter disappointment). We had things like Raisin Bran and Mini Wheats and on very rare occasion, Apple Jacks – which don’t get me wrong, are all fine and dandy and things that I enjoy very much in my…

No-Churn Cinnamon Roll Ice Cream
Today, on this most romantic of holidays, on an occasion when we owe it to the ones we love to tell them just how much they mean to us, I’d like to take a moment to proclaim my undying devotion for my one and only, my tried and true. A constant source of support and…
Triple Blueberry Ice Cream Floats
As someone with a mild to moderate yet completely unreasonable and sometimes overwhelming case of anxiety, the act of taking a vacation is often more of a challenge for me than an opportunity. And no, I don’t mean that in the sense that I just love working so much and have such blinding ambition and…
Wine and Gold Sorbet
There isn’t much that I can say about Cleveland, or LeBron James, or Northeastern Ohio, or our beloved basketball team that hasn’t already been said before by someone much more qualified than I am to craft a narrative about the impact of a sports team on its city. But luckily for me, bloggers don’t need…
Graeter’s Cheese Crown Ice Cream
As someone who is the youngest of four siblings and thus destined to a lifetime of being the “baby sister” regardless of my age, or maturity, or general attempts at adult-ness, I’ve finally come to accept the fact that I may not necessarily be my own person. Rather, I suspect that I might just be…
Matcha Ice Cream with Black Salt Chocolate Chunks
Now that January is finally over and the dreaded “New Year, New You” idealism is slowly starting to dissipate, I feel like I can finally come out of hiding to continue pushing my “all butterfat, all the time” agenda. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that I don’t enjoy a good ol’ fresh start shrouded…
Kir Royale Ice Cream Floats with Chambord Berries
It seems like just a few weeks ago that I was mustering my very best Sentimental Blog Thoughts to bid adieu to 2014, and now here we are, mere days from a brand new year altogether and once again, I’m wondering how 12 months could have possibly flown by so quickly. I’ve always felt a…
Milk and Cookies Ice Cream
One of my absolute favorite things about being a kid at Christmastime each year was the very important task of assembling a plate of cookies to leave out for Santa on Christmas Eve. Like many children who believed in Santa, I was completely enamored with the idea. It was the most magical of concepts; the…
Eggnog Ice Cream with Candied Pecans and Salted Rum Caramel
Even though the holidays are without a doubt my most absolute favorite time of year, I also find them to be completely overwhelming. Do you remember in the movie National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, when a teenage Juliette Lewis is complaining to her mother about having to share a bed with her little brother, because –…
Dark Chocolate Peppermint Bark Ice Cream
There isn’t much I can say about the chocolate/peppermint combo that hasn’t already been said before. But don’t worry; I won’t let that stop me. We can’t all be leaders. (And sometimes, it pays to be a follower, especially when the topic at hand is this delicious.) As the weeks fly by and the days…
Hot Fudge Brownie Sundae Bars
Despite its unfortunate proximity to Monday, Sunday is one of my very favorite days of the week (after Friday and Saturday, of course). My fondness for Sundays grows particularly strong in the fall and winter months, when cold weather and football give us legitimate reasons to spend afternoons lounging on the couch, snacking, and sipping…
