In addition to celebrating St. Patty's Day with Bailey's cheesecake bars, I also made Guinness ice cream. It's amazing how much I despise beer, but how much I love things made with with beer. The milk chocolate softens the flavor of the Guinness into a perfect, made-in-heaven match. It was unseasonably warm (hotter than it normally is in summer)...

Not going to lie. I only made that easy King Cake monkey bread so I could chop it up and add the pieces as mix-ins to a tangy cream cheese ice cream with a cinnamon swirl that tastes exactly like filling from a cinnamon roll. Blue Bell makes their own version of Mardi Gras King Cake Ice Cream, but since it is nowhere to be seen anywhere near...

For the last two Super Bowl Sundays, we attended a party where the attendees had a long-standing tradition of eating Super Bowl Sundaes. We kept the tradition alive this year, although our spread might not have been quite as impressive as the one from back in Washington. I had totally forgotten about Super Bowl Sundaes, so after I was reminded,...

I decided I wanted to make this ice cream about a day after all of the pumpkin pie we had last year was gone. Despite it's posting a week and half after Thanksgiving, this was made immediately after the holiday. Pumpkin ice cream would be nice, but pumpkin pie ice cream with chunks of real pumpkin pie is even better. I've definitely expressed my...

Yesterday pumpkin muffins. Today blueberry muffins and ice cream. I might be a little seasonally confused. For some reason I just really don't care to eat baked goods after two days. It doesn't matter whether they are store bought or homemade, but there is something about knowing that a baked good is fresh that makes it taste better. Plus,...

It’s finally here! Even though the quarter officially began a few days ago, today marks my first days of classes as a graduate student (update: my one Thursday class isn't starting 'til next week). I am both incredibly excited and incredibly nervous. The past few months have been so busy and full of change, and now here is the payoff, a new...

I was originally going to make a Pop-Tart ice cream, and at some point I might, but I decided that froyo would be the better choice because then I could eat it for breakfast. Frozen yogurt for breakfast? But isn't that a dessert. Yes and yes, but if you think about it, it could also be considered a breakfast since all of the ingredients I...

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...

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...
