TWD: Crunchy, Custardy Peach Tart
I actually made this week’s TWD early on Friday. Can you believe that? I’m usually scrambling in the kitchen on Tuesday afternoons. I made this Crunchy, Custardy Peach Tart, chosen by Rachel, for our date-night-in, since we’re waiting until this weekend when our babysitter starts. Hooray for weekly alone time! I’ve already sung the praises […]
Review: Perfect Foods Bar
Have you heard of the Perfect Foods Bar? I hadn’t, until I read about it in this Full House post. Madame Pumphrey was singin’ their praises, so I just had to investigate. The nice folks at Perfect Foods sent me four bars to try, and I was all over it! I tried all four flavors: […]
Bake-N-Blog: A Figgy Failure.
I was so excited for this Bake-n-Blog event today. Excited to get over my fig issues and try out this delicious treat. Ugh. Fig fail. I didn’t even try to make it pretty for you. They started out looking so yummy.. BOTH times I tried to bake them. Now, you know I can bake a […]
Jeni’s Ice Cream
I was so excited to find this box on my doorstep last week! Frozen treats? Yes, please! The sweet folks at Jeni’s Splendid Ice Cream in Ohio sent me four flavors to try out- Riesling Poached Pear Sorbet, Lemon Blueberry Yogurt, Salted Caramel Ice Cream and Goat Cheese with Roasted Red Cherries Ice Cream. Drool […]
Cinnamon Oat Pancakes with Grilled Peaches
Are you wondering if the peaches in Georgia are the best? I mean, are they really as good as everyone says they are? I’m here to tell you that they are. They’re literally the. BEST. I’m sorry you don’t live here. (Unless you do. Then you know what I’m talking about, and you’re a lucky […]
Dorie’s Chocolate Ganache Ice Cream
I think Dorie Greenspan is trying to ruin my weight loss plan. Note to self: Must call Dorie and discuss heavy cream and butter alternatives. Kidding! Dorie is a gem. Anyone who could come up with such a decadent recipe is a gem in my book. I made this ice cream for another TWD a […]
Parsley and Walnut Pesto
What do you do at the end of the week when you haven’t gone grocery shopping? I usually make strange or boring things. My survival foods lately (especially when hubs is gone) have been patty melts and BLTs. It’s like living in a diner. Luckily, I put on my thinking (read: Googling) cap and came […]
Cinnamon Shoofly Ice Cream
Shoofly pie is basically God’s gift to Central PA. I’m sure you’ve heard of it. Oh, you haven’t? Google it, already! Shoofly pie is a molasses based pie, so-named because the molasses attracts flies that need to be “shoo-ed” away. Or so they say. Some of them are heavier on the molasses (wet-bottom), and some […]
TWD: Gingered Carrot Cookies
Fact: I thought these were going to just be cookies that taste like carrot cake. WRONG. I started second guessing as soon as I realized there wasn’t any cinnamon in the recipe. Scandalous, Dorie! That doesn’t mean they aren’t good. They’re actually very good. Unexpectedly good. I wanted to put cream cheese frosting all over […]
Mayfield Dairy: World’s Best Ice Cream?
We went to Mayfield Dairy! Have you heard of this place? Maybe you’ve seen their yellow containers in your grocer’s freezer. They’re a super successful dairy with the “world’s best ice cream,” or so says Time Magazine. We stopped on our drive down I-75 from Ohio to Georgia. Obviously I had to confirm that they […]
