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...

I am totally smitten with the idea of adding herbs to lemonade. In the recent weeks I've sampled both mint and rosemary lemonade at different restaurants, and now I will never hesitate to order an herbaceous lemonade. Out of all of our herbs (that sadly do not get enough of our attenion...it's all going to Bonnie instead), rosemary has been the...

We bought these gorgeous, colorful heirloom tomatoes from the grocery store, and what better way to showcase them in all of their glory than to make a savory tart with them. This is why I love summer! I debated whether or not to bake the tart in a pie pan since I don't own a specific tart pan, but decided to make it a galette instead and go...

These were supposed to be black bean sliders, a la Little Big's in Houston, but unfortunately we had the patties on the grill, the onions caramelized, and the harissa cream made when we realized our buns were moldy. Not a good feeling for me because I definitely ate one at lunch without paying attention. So we went the low-carb route for...

One of the things I really wanted to do while I had the free time was to buy a book on jarring and canning, so I could learn to make my own jams, jellies, and other preserves, especially while we lived in such an area with great summer produce. Well, that time has come and passed as we are crazy with the move, and I will be starting graduate...

When making smoothies at home, we were in a bit of a rut. We always mixed yogurt with bananas and some variation of berries or maybe mango if we were feeling a little adventurous and wanted to go tropical. I was a little tired of smoothies, truth be told. Until I ordered the Blue Banana smoothie at the Pro Club's cafe after a particularly tough...

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...

Why eat a boring peanut butter sandwich for lunch when you can instead drink a peanut butter sandwich in cool liquid form? That sounds a tad gross now that I think of it. That question makes it sound like I put a sandwich in the blender with some ice cubes. Not the case. It's a riff off my healthy milkshake that uses a standard base of Greek...

I fell in love with harissa cream a few years back but hadn't thought about it in awhile until I saw a recipe for harissa pork chops. We are more steak than pork chop people, but I figured harissa would make a nice marinade for a steak. I ordered a tube from Amazon and plan to come up with some more uses in the next few weeks. The harissa is...

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...
