Allow me to dish you up a scoop of summer. A dish of sweet summer peaches. It doesn’t get any better than this. Yes, I’m still on my ice cream kick. I’m loving my new Kitchen Aide ice cream maker. I just can’t stop making ice cream! This recipe is one of my favorites. Start […]
Ah. Summer’s bounty. I can’t keep up with all the wonderful things I want to make. Fresh peaches are ripening on my counter. Beets are waiting to be roasted in my refrigerator. And all those tomatoes! Herbs from the garden. Fresh green beans. As I write this tonight, I see on the news how the […]
It’s 8 o’clock in the morning and I’m having this for breakfast. Chocolate Gelato. I didn’t wake up this morning and say “I’m having gelato for breakfast!”… I was planning on my regular yogurt and fruit with peanut butter toast. Before I made my breakfast, I decided to take photos of my latest recipe adventure […]
Have you ever opened your mouth and tasted something and suddenly time stops? Totally stops. You’re not in charge anymore. You don’t know where you are, who you’re with or what you ate an hour ago? Life… and your palette are frozen in time. Frozen as in a dish of ice cream – or gelato […]

It’s fresh, zesty […]
Who doesn’t like chocolate chip cookies? I long for the days when I would eat them as fast as I can scoop the gooey morsels off the hot pan. One…then two…three… and beyond that, I would never admit to how many. I stopped making them years ago because of my inability to stop reasonably. It’s […]
Here’s a fun, healthy appetizer for your next cookout! This comes from my dear friend Dotti who brought it to my last party. I always get stuck on appetizers and usually make the same old, same old… I was thrilled when she walked in with this…it was so pretty! Make your own cinnamon chips – […]
We’re gonna make this quick tonight. The weather is so beautiful and the deck is calling my name. Dinner tonight is simple. Burgers and side salads. This is one of them. So simple…but necessary to share. I found it in a little corner of a Cooking Light magazine. After making it, I knew I had […]
