Bourbon Gingersnap Ice Cream

I was in Toronto last weekend, and I just really regret not buying the Don’t Drake and Drive shirt… so when I saw bb pumpkin chocolate truffles at Trader Joe’s, I had to get them. I could picture them as the cherry-on-the-sundae type deal for a cone like this. And not to be all “Toronto this” and “Toronto that”, but I had the best ice cream there! Chocolate Ginger Milk, guys. A spicy dream of a situation,…

Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble Ice Pops

What does it mean if you want to add googly eyes to everything? What if peeps be thinking that these specific eyeballs are creepy? What if my first thought was that it was more funny than weird, but maybe I don’t know things?! Time to read some confidence-building Pinterest quotes amiright?! Let’s cross-stitch this on a pillow and post it in in our quotes board and call it a DAY: These taste like pie, so…

Watermelon Mint Julep

Whoa. This is what it looks like when granites, snow cones, mint juleps and bourbon collide. And it’s delicious. I’d recommend handing one of these to everyone with a summer birthday. Put a candle in it! Top it with sprinkles! Sip it in the backyard in your pajama’s best while your dog lounges in the sun. Sip it on the porch while you wait for a ride. CHUG it when your car is in the…

French Silk Pie Ice Cream

I get these urges. Like I have to squeeze a knee or a shoulder or a hand if a hug just can’t happen in that moment (like if I’m driving or they’re driving). I got an urge at lunch to throw a little rice cluster into a bowl of Ramen (channeling pebble tosses in the Detroit River over the summer). And well, the ramen splashed everywhere. (Ack! Sorry man.) I swear, it’s like I’m a kid sometimes.…

Cinnamon Ice Cream

What’s been up, guys? Here’s some stuff that’s been going on. (Warning: this stuff is REAL crazy.) So, my mom bought me a mum plant. It was only a week before I realized it was missing! And by missing, I mean it blew off the porch and had dried out to a tumbleweed. (Sorry, mom!) I’m the worst at plants. AND then, I might’ve made Lemon Lentil Soup for a casual Monday dinner and forgot dill…

Double Dough Ice Cream

You guys, I’m heading to Chicago for the weekend! There are plans to drink beers and drinks and eat pizza and monkey bread and cinnamon rolls. So, it’s probably good that I prepped this week by snacking on this ice cream. I really sampled the hell out of it. I just wanted to get ready for my weekend AND make sure this was good, ya know? The base tastes like dough FO SHO. And there’s…

Sour Cherry Fro-Yo Ice Pops

I’m really excited about these. Almost as excited as I was on Friday when I won 100 tickets at the arcade. Almost as excited as when I won a Hip Hop Banana stuffed toy thing-y from that claw game that it’s impossible to win at. Way more excited than the personality test that said I as both jealous and uncontrollable. (Rude!) And I guess, pretty much on par with the excitement I feel towards trading…

Mocha Ice Pops

I tried to do laundry on Tuesday, but I ate sliders and listened to records instead. I tried to help Elliot not hear fireworks by blaring music, but he couldn’t ignore them no matter how loudly I blared Otis Redding’s romance tunes. I tried out a new dance move in front of the mirror, but it looked way cooler in my head, and now I think I should probably keep dancing to myself, in my…

Roasted Strawberry Ice Pops

The other day I popped into the zombie grocery store (if you went there you’d totally understand) and bought 2 lbs of strawberries because they were somehow $4? And (real talk) I’ve been the worst at letting fruit go bad lately. Herbs get wrankled and black in my tundra-fridge and I’ve been losing cheese in the back and forgetting about heavy cream. So, I had to get my life together and use up these berries…
