Warm, foggy, and still fully green, Newport turned out to be a sweet end to the summer.
Cookies and Cream: Two Ways
By now, you probably know how much I love baking. But let me tell you a little secret: I don’t really love baked desserts.

And with half a quart of heavy cream in the fridge, the result: my own adult take on my childhood fave.

Orange-Cream Ice Cream Sandwiches
