Oatmeal Cookie Ice Cream is a creamy, rich ice cream loaded with chunks of chewy oatmeal cookies. This fun ice cream is my newest favorite frozen treat. (I figure I’ve written “newest favorite” at least 100 times on this blog already, but I’m choosing to ignore that little fact for now.) This ice cream has been all I could think about ever since I took the first bite. I’ve made Oatmeal Cookie Ice Cream several times now and it’s...

My friends and neighbors have been known to leave not-so-subtle hints...
This is a rich and creamy, dark chocolate ice cream flavored with almonds and just the tiniest hint of cinnamon. The almond flavor is unexpected, but fantastic with the chocolate. You likely wouldn’t guess the cinnamon is there, but it adds a depth to the ice cream that can’t be beaten. I am so happy with this ice cream; I’m grinning just writing this post.

Chewy coconut filling layered onto a buttery shortbread crust; this recipe is so simple to make I have been making it since I was a child. This is my grandma’s recipe for Coconut Chews (one of only a few things that this grandmother made) and if you are a coconut lover, these can not be beat. I hadn’t made these bars in years and when I baked this gluten free version of the Coconut Chews and took them to some friends...

Bright, citrus ice cream with just a hint of banana, this is the ultimate creamy cold treat on a hot summer day. This is the ice cream that I remember from summers spent at my grandparent’s house. The original recipe makes a huge amount, far too big for the average ice cream machine today. Six Threes Ice Cream is such an easy recipe to remember; once you make it a couple times, it will be in your memory forever. Barefeet In The...
A crisp shortbread crust is topped with a chewy gooey layer of pineapple and coconut to make these Pineapple Coconut Bars. With a deep love of all things pineapple, I’ve been playing with the idea for Pineapple Bars for a while now and I’m thrilled to be sharing it with you at last! Not too sweet and slightly tart, these bars are a fruity tropical drink in bar cookie form. I liked these bars so much that I am making them again this...
Sweet and juicy with plenty of real peach flavor and just the right touch of cinnamon, this cobbler is the last homemade peach cobbler recipe you’ll ever need. This cobbler is filled with fresh juicy peaches and then topped with a generous cinnamon sugar crust that manages to be both buttery and flaky while never becoming soggy, even after a day or two in the refrigerator. Almost ten years ago, I made it my mission to find the perfect...
Pico de Gallo, the fresh, spicy, Mexican salsa, is one of my family’s favorite snacks almost every day of the year. This is the ultimate fresh salsa and once you learn how to make Pico de Gallo, I’m sure you’ll love it just as much as we do. For many years, I avoided making my own salsas. The recipes seemed complicated, or I just didn’t care much for the homemade salsas that I had tried. We are admittedly, somewhat picky about our...
My kids went nuts over these chickpeas. Between the three of them, they ate the entire batch (about two cups worth) in less than 10 minutes. After I saw how many they were eating, I decided to call that lunch. I just added some veggies and dip and they were happy with their snacky meal. I roasted these on a whim the other day because I keep seeing food bloggers talking about roasted chickpeas. I’m not sure why I thought that roasting them...
