Confession: I have never had rocky road ice cream. At least I hadn't until I made my own. For some reason as a child, rocky road never jumped out to me. My first choice at Baskin Robbins and the grocery store was always rainbow sherbet. Not just because it was pretty, but also tasty. As I got a little older I "graduated" to chocolate chip cookie...

Before we moved, we had a big fish grilling party (which we will surely share more about soon) to celebrate with our Seattle friends one last time. An ulterior motive for hosting this party was to get rid of all of our booze. This limoncello sorbet was another effort to get rid of some alcohol— the bottle of limoncello sitting in our freezer...

These are easily one of the most decadent things to come out of our kitchen recently. And you know we've been making a lot of desserts... Soft pretzels serve as the base for a rich bread pudding with a combination of semi-sweet and white chocolate in every bite, plus white chocolate ice cream and fudge sauce on top. Make sure you serve these...

As far as news from our personal life goes— today is the day the mover's are coming to take our stuff, and then as of tomorrow, Seattle will be in the rearview mirror of our convertible as we embark on our road trip (and new life) in Los Angeles! I am ridiculously excited to drive the PCH all the way down the West Coast in a convertible, top...

I've been dreaming about combining white chocolate with the L'Ecole chocolate merlot sauce, so I finally did it in the form of ice cream. We won't be able to bring it with us on the road trip, so I'm trying to think of clever ways to use it before we head out. Make sure to splurge and use a high quality white chocolate because it really is...

I'm amazed at how this frozen treat tastes like ice cream without using any heavy cream. As you've probably noticed, we've been consuming a lot of ice cream and desserts in general lately, so I skewed a little to the healthier side on this one. The realization that I have only a few more weeks until graduate school starts hit me hard, so I had...

You know the saying "you learn something new every day." Well here is your fun (and tasty) fact of the day...every August 10th, the United States celebrates National S'mores Day. S'mores cookies and s'mores cookie bars have been all over the internet. I wanted to make my own version using smoked chocolate chips because what's anything s'more...

I probably say this about every ice cream I make, but oh my God, this is the best ice cream EVER! It's a sugar cookie flavored ice cream with chunks of those addictive little frosted animal cookies (homemade ones I might add, which you can read all about right here), and lots of sprinkles! I based the ice cream recipe off of the cake batter...

I swear those little frosted animal cookies have this drug-like addicting quality to them because every time I pass by them at the store I have this strange and inexplicable feeling to always want to buy them now. Fortunately, Whole Foods, where we do the majority of our grocery shopping, doesn't sell them, so I just have to drool over them when...

These chocolate covered espresso beans are proof that the simplest things can be elevated using high quality ingredients. When Dustin's parents visited us over July 4th, we hit up Espresso Vivace in the Capital Hill area. We've gotten great coffee the last two years, but Vivace has by far been our favorite. It's such a shame we discovered it so...
