Maple Oatmeal Cookie Ice Cream

Sometimes my horoscope sounds like a card in Monopoly. It’s all “Your plumbing might have problems. Get an estimate!” Other times, Susan Miller is all, “October is HARD. Mid-November your life will begin to sparkle again.” I’m pushing my way through these early fall months with ice cream. My days can sparkle a little bit here and there based on bites of this stuff, ya know? And I’ve been wearing my frumpy fleece and walking…

Cinnamon Sugar Donut Ice Cream

This ice cream happened because of a text, my girl, JD sent me from New York that said, “I’m eating cider mill donut frozen yogurt.” I knew immediately that I had to churn up some donut dreams. And basically nothing says double trouble more than cinnamon sugar donut ice cream served with cinnamon sugar donuts. It’s just true. And nutmeg is totally the trick for turning this ice cream into a cider mill miracle. I…

Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream

I feel like this week is my summer vacay. Like I’m done with school and am home for the summer, if the summer was just one week. But you see, I’ve got this list in my head! Like, I need to bake with my sour cherries, and make cookies, and burgers, and shortcakes, and (more) ice cream, and pancakes. But, ya know, sometimes you have to throw that list out the window and get spontaneous…

Salted Honey Toast Ice Cream

My favorite thing to top toast with, these days, is butter, honey, and sea salt. Can’t stop.  Won’t stop. Sometimes I eat it for lunch. Sometimes I eat it for dessert. Mostly, I just love it. So when Adrianna posted Salty Honey Ice cream, I immediately thought of my fave toast. And you guys, this tastes like the ice cream version of my favorite toasty breakfast! I want to high five it! I keep imagining…

Berry Crumble Ice Cream

My favorite pies have a crumb topping. I always choose a crumble over a crisp, and have even streusel-topped pancakes in the past. And with all these summer berries keepin’ it real at the farmer’s market, it only makes sense to give ice cream the crumble remix. And my mom has major pie skills. She also loves a crumble topping like no other. So you better believe I called my mom when I was tasting…

The Darkest Chocolate Ice Cream In The World

It takes me 1 1/2 blocks (driving) to finish a toasted sesame seed bagel with cream cheese. It takes me the opening song of The Wire to finish my cornbread pizza. It takes me the 30 minutes before leaving for dinner to make this ice cream, leaving me just enough time to switch my shoes and put on lipstick. Do you ever buy the ingredients to make something discovering that you can’t make it until…

Dairy-Free Stout Float

What’s the deal with the late 20’s? Sometimes I feel like the only thing I have sorted out is how to make a solid dinner out of a sandwich and fries. Or how to pair beer, ice cream, and chocolate in a tasty way. But it’s ok not to have everything figured out, right? Who knows how things will be in a year? That can be kinda exciting, I think. P.S.  I’ve dreamed of having a Guinness…

I went to New York!

Last Friday I arrived in New York hungry. My friend Kathy and I arrived at our lovely friend Erica‘s house late-ish Friday night. We were super hungry and the cocoa almonds we ate on the plane just weren’t cutting it. So, Erica took us to The Meatball Shop where I ate every single bite of a Meatball Smash-wich — spicy pork meatballs, tomato sauce, and provolone on brioche. I ordered a side of kale risotto worth…
