Homemade Ice Cream Any Time of Year
It doesn’t matter what time of year it is…ice cream is always an acceptable dessert. Granted, I do tend to enjoy it more frequently during the summer months but every now and then a bowl of ice cream (better yet, homemade ice cream) satisfies my craving during the colder months of the year. I like to make homemade ice cream. Sure, store-bought ice cream is wonderful and super convenient but homemade ice cream tastes a bit like soft serve and is creamer in my opinion. I have 3 recipes to share with you today for homemade ice cream: Birthday Cake Blueberry Butterfinger The Birthday Cake Ice Cream is BY FAR my favorite ice cream I have ever made. It tastes like cake batter…the pre-cooked batter you scrape out of the bowl and lick any excess off the spoon…that cake batter. It’s sweet, creamy and is packed full of sprinkles. It’s amazing. The recipe can be found … Continue reading

State Fair Home Edition
The Minnesota State Fair is in full swing. Do you plan on going? I know a lot of people that plan on attending the fair and a lot of people that don’t, for various reasons. I sure love the fair and missed not being able to attend last year. Unfortunately, this year, it’s also not in the cards for me. However, that doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy some delicious fair food at home, and you can do the same! First off, I want to share with you a link to a blog I wrote last year. The blog is called Your Favorite MN State Fair Food…at Home, because that’s what the blog is about – creating and enjoying all the classic state fair foods in the comfort of your own home. I wrote this blog because the fair was cancelled last year and wanted to give everyone the option of … Continue reading

Cast Iron Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie
I consider myself to be a cookie connoisseur… or a cookie lover of sorts… so I will never turn down the option to sample a new cookie or try a new cookie recipe. One of my favorite desserts is a warm cookie a la mode. I could easily skip dinner and go right to dessert if I know this is on my menu, so I thought I would try my hand at making a homemade version. Something I didn’t need to be at a restaurant to enjoy. The result is a Cast Iron Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie. The recipe can be found here. The cookie is hot right out of the oven with perfectly melted chocolate chips and wonderful ooey-gooeyness in every bite. It’s big enough to share but you might not want to 😊 Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees F. Add the butter to a saucepan. … Continue reading

National Ice Cream Day
Sunday, July 19, 2020 is National Ice Cream day, and what better way to celebrate than with some homemade ice cream! There really is no better time to enjoy ice cream than a hot summer day! You can obviously eat ice cream year-round but it’s such a cool and refreshing treat during the warm months. With so many flavors to choose from, you’ll be sure to find your favorite. I wanted to do something different for National Ice Cream day so I’m celebrating by making homemade ice cream. I have 5 flavors to share with you today; 3 require an ice cream maker and 2 require a high-speed blender, so you don’t necessarily need all the fancy equipment to make homemade ice cream. It can be super simple and require few ingredients or it can be a more complex recipe with a variety of ingredients. Basically, you can put as … Continue reading

4th of July Treats!
Can you believe the 4th of July is this weekend? I looked at my calendar and thought, that can’t be right. What happened to the month of June? I barely feel prepared! But…. come Saturday, I will be ready. I’m putting others in charge of the food and am going to focus on desserts. I know we’ll be spending as much time outside as possible, soaking up the sun, and social distancing with family and friends. I want to make a variety of sweets with something for everyone. I also want something that’s refreshing because it’s going to be HOT! The first dessert I’m going to make is an Ice Cream Sandwich Cookie. It’s yummy vanilla ice cream sandwiched between 2 homemade cookies with yes, red, white, and blue, M&M’s for a 4th of July theme. These are going to be the perfect way too cool off! The recipe can … Continue reading

National Ice Cream Day
Everyone loves ice cream! Why you ask? There are soooooooo many flavors to choose from, it’s refreshing on a hot summer day (but can be enjoyed year round), you can eat it anywhere, it goes with almost any dessert, you can make it at home….really the reasons to enjoy ice cream are endless 🙂 I enjoy making ice cream with my KitchenAid Ice Cream Maker and trying different flavors. I’ve definitely had a few batches that didn’t turn out how I wanted but let’s be honest, I ate them anyway 🙂 Who would throw away perfectly good ice cream? I do, however, have 3 favorites I would like to share with you today. Strawberry Ice Cream Pistachio Ice Cream Cookies & Cream Ice Cream Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream is incredibly flavorful and refreshing! There is an entire pound of strawberries in this batch of ice cream, so it’s definitely fruity. … Continue reading

‘Tis the Season for Pumpkin
If you’re anything like me, you love pumpkin spice! I know, I know, a lot of people are over the pumpkin spice craze but with so many recipes to try how can you not be intrigued by its deliciousness? I personally think it should be a year-round item and not just seasonal, but it’s not up to me. To fulfill my need for pumpkin I decided to have ‘pumpkin weekend’ at our house to hopefully get it out of my system (between us, it will never be out of my system 😊). The first item on the menu was Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls with Cream Cheese Frosting. These are life changing and I don’t know if I’ll ever make cinnamon rolls without pumpkin again! The smell of pumpkin and cinnamon fills your house as the rolls bake and for me it brought back some childhood memories because my mom liked to … Continue reading

An Apple A Day
I love to eat apples year round but there is something special about eating apples in fall; the weather is getting cooler, colors are starting to change, and apple-picking season is upon us. They are crisp, sweet, refreshing, and a true symbol of fall. One of my favorite snacks to make in the fall is Apple Salsa. It’s something I had years ago at a local apple orchard and absolutely loved it! I knew I had to recreate it and spent hours trying to do so, and think I have the recipe perfected! The recipe can be found here. It’s the perfect combination of sweet and spicy. I think it’s more sweet than spicy but there is a subtle spicy undertone. Paired with some tortilla chips this is an amazing snack! Plus it’s fairly healthy and not overly filling so you don’t have to feel bad if you eat more … Continue reading
