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.

Mocha Brownie Ice Cream
Have you ever picked up a gallon of Edy’s Double Fudge Brownie ice cream at the grocery store? Chocolate ice cream, loaded with brownie bits, and a fudge swirl to boot! It was my favorite flavor as a kid, and I wasn’t even that into chocolate growing up, so you know this stuff had to be good.

(I know, I know—I’m the worst.)

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

“I’m attracted to pie. It doesn’t mean I feel the need to date pie.”
Up until recently, I thought this was sage advice. But now, I’m thinking maybe she never had a piece of pie quite like this…
Lime and Coconut Mini Cupcakes
Spring is here! Just kidding – it’s snowing outside as I write this. Sigh.
The weather outside is showing no sign of changing anytime soon, but that doesn’t mean I can’t bring a little taste of paradise inside my house. Turn the kitchen into a tropical getaway with these lime and coconut mini cupcakes. Continue reading
