Peanut Butter & Banana Ice Cream Sandwiches
Don’t you just love when food gets all magical on you? I’m fascinated by watching yeast bloom, or egg whites transform into meringue. But when I read I could watch frozen bananas turn into ice cream, it just sounded too good to be true. It also sounded delicious, so I set out to try it. […]
Rustic Sweet Cherry Galette
Is it bad that part of the reason I look forward to having children is that I’ll be able to cook and eat a greater variety of things? Don’t look at me like that – let me explain. Currently, it’s just the hubs and me. And hubby is picky. So when it comes to making […]
PB&J S’mores
I’m pretty sure this is real. I mean – I made it, I photographed it, I ate one three four. The hubby ate some, and promises that they’re real… It just seems too good to be true. Peanut butter & jelly s’mores. And I don’t mean the kind that involves smearing some jelly and peanut butter […]
Mango & Jicama Salad
This salad seems entirely appropriate coming off the heels of a serious Breaking Bad addiction in this household. Super serious. Three weeks ago, the hubs innocently suggested we start watching it, probably thinking we’d be able to continue on with life as usual afterward. Oh no. In that time, we blew threw all 4 seasons with […]
Boozy Mint Lemonade
If you don’t mind, I’d like to take a stroll over to fantasy land for a moment. You know, the one where you have your own private island, endless free time, and people to fan you with palm leaves while you sip something delicious? Maybe we can even keep this fantasy going into a world […]
Kiwi Grapefruit Sorbet
As pretty much every great story begins, I was walking through the produce section of the grocery store with no real plans. It was an “I’ll just buy whatever looks best” kind of day. Thankfully whoever stocks the fruit there had the brilliant idea of putting the kiwi and grapefruit next to each other. I […]
Blueberry Rhubarb Pie: A Tale of Two Tries
Sometimes an idea gets stuck in your head. For me, these are usually always food related. This time it was blueberry rhubarb pie. Sounds innocent enough, doesn’t it? So I ignored the fact that I’ve never worked with rhubarb, never made a blueberry pie, and haven’t made any other variety of pie in years… and set […]
Strawberry Rose Water Fizz
This all started with Indian food, strangely enough. The night before our recent trip to San Diego we were out running errands and needed good takeout food something fierce. We pulled into the nearest strip mall where there was a small, plain sign that said something about vegetarian Indian food. That was all we needed […]
Pan Seared Salmon with Pomegranate Reduction
Here we are at day 2 of my Not A Cleanse Eating Right Fortnight (I just came up with that – pretty good, huh?) and I feel goooood. I went to the grocery store yesterday to stock up on yummy, healthful items like fresh & dried fruit, granola, almond milk, veggies, veggies, and more veggies. […]
Spiced Cider Cocktail
I don’t drink cocktails too often; I’m more of a beer and wine kind of gal. However, there’s something wonderful about being handed a beautiful, seasonally appropriate cocktail as you arrive at a dinner party or holiday gathering. And if the cocktail is strong… well now we’re really getting a party started. I don’t mean […]
