It is my day off. What does that mean? I’m watching food network on Hulu on my laptop (and maybe the latest episode of the Bachelorette???). I know I should get some cleaning done, but I’m going to take it easy until just before my husband gets home and then I am going to clean…

Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream
I am seriously tempted to lick my computer screen right now. Don’t do it! It is just a picture. It is not real! It is that time of year. When my ice cream maker and The Perfect Scoop take up a permanent residence on my counter next to my toaster. And chances are if you…
Chocolate Graham Cracker Cupcakes with Toasted Marshmallow
Can you buy someone’s love and approval with cup cakes? Probably not, but maybe it helps? Maybe? We are desperately trying to get someone to fill our apartment before we move and someone is finally coming to look at it tomorrow morning. We are running out of time and we really need someone to fill…
Tartufi (Ice Cream Truffles)
I recently held a “How to make homemade ice cream” lesson for some of the teenage girls in my church. I had them make chocolate brownie ice cream, strawberry sorbet, and ice cream sandwiches. I also brought some coconut ice cream and some delicious little balls of amazingness: Tartufi. It is a strange name (it…

Golden Graham S’mores
I made this for my sister in-law Lydia when we stayed at her house in Moscow for a few days. This is a very addictive treat! It is so unhealthy, but SOOOOOOOO GOOD. They are chewy and chocolaty, and gooey. To make it even worse for you, I decide to add mini butterscotch chips to…
Chocolate Brownie Ice Cream
Me and Ice cream go way back. When I was little I wanted to be an ice cream taste-tester when I grew up. Although I have worked my tail of to become a theater teacher, a little part of me still wants to be an ice cream taste tester (or a dolphin trainer). When…

Farm Cake (Texas Sheet Cake)
This cake brings back so many memories for me. It is originally called Texas Sheet Cake, but to me it is called Farm Cake. My Grandma Jo and Grandpa Dave own some land in the mountains that we would always visit to camp or cook dinner over the fire pit. My grandma would always bring…
