S’more Truffles & White Chocolate S’more Fudge Sundaes

Friday, August 24, 2012

The heat came on in my house this morning. We have one of those automatic systems where you set the temperature, and it’ll either turn on the heat or the A/C to maintain it, as needed. The heat came on this morning. What the what, Oregon?! It’s July 24th! <—Not really. It’s August 24th. Way ...

Peppermint Bark Ice Cream Pie

Tuesday, December 20, 2011

Wanna know a little secret? I’ve been learning a new language lately. It’s called Kid Speak. And it. is. awesome. In a drive-you-completely-insane-until-you-finally-get-it kind of way. You hear all these stories about kids saying goofy things to the lyrics of songs that are completely wrong, but sound just like the actual lyrics, and you think, ...

Cinnamon Chocolate Ice Cream

Thursday, September 1, 2011

Have you ever noticed how much easier it is to be nice to someone else’s kids? Not that I’m mean to my own kid, but it’s a lot easier to say no to him than it is to my nephews, for example. Why is that, do you think? Maybe because my boy is a teenager, ...

Pineapple Rosemary Gelato

I don’t think I mentioned it, but I’m spending some time with family in the States, and I got to see my mom for a few days last week. It was wonderful. On our last night together, we decided to go out to dinner at Olive Garden. I love Olive Garden. Truly. I decided that ...

Watermelon Candy Sherbet

Thursday, July 28, 2011

I have a short and sweet post for you today, with a short and sweet recipe. You may remember around this time last year when I made watermelon cupcakes. I loved those things. They are soooo good. When I made them, I had ordered several little bottles of watermelon flavoring oil (from Bake It Pretty), ...

White Chocolate Strawberry Ice Cream Cupcakes

Thursday, June 23, 2011

My luggage finally joined me in Minnesota the other day. Tuesday, to be exact. That’s right, my luggage didn’t get to me until five days after I had already been visiting my sis and her family. I was not a happy camper. Luckily, and happily, I’ve had my nephews to distract me. We spent the ...

Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream

Tuesday, June 21, 2011

Is there anything quite like fresh strawberries in summer? It’s really warmed up on my little island to some serious summer temps in the last week or two and nothing has sounded quite as good as red, ripe strawberries. Unfortunately, they’re a bit of a rarity around here. As I said about raspberries a couple ...

Gimme Some Sugar: A Sweet List of Tasty Links

Tuesday, June 7, 2011

Hey guys, it’s Andrea. Hope you all are doing well since my last post! To update you, I made the fruit salsa for my family reunion, and it was wonderful! I got so many compliments on it. It was very easy to make. The hardest part is dicing all the fruit. I substituted blackberries for the raspberries because I don’t like ...

Peanut Butter Ice Cream and Mini Fluffernutter Sundaes

Wednesday, March 30, 2011

It’s month three of my resolution to make a new ice cream every month this year, and so far, so very, very good! To be honest, I didn’t think I’d do very good sticking to this (I know it’s only month three, but I also know me…), but it’s been really fun and easy. Admittedly, ...
