Vanilla Ice Cream
You’ve gotten love some ice cream especially in the summertime when it’s nice and toasty outside. Ice cream makes me happy. And my ice cream maker makes me real happy. If you don’t have an ice cream maker ask for one for your birthday. It is such a treat and Iclick here It is so stinkin’ easy to whip this up, pour it in the ice cream maker and take a walk (this will make you feel better before you eat 2 bowls) and when you come home, viola! It’s ready! I’m sure I’ll be posting lots of ice cream […]
Mini Chocolate Chip Cookies
I have made these 3 times in the past 3 days, and I have to confess, I’ve only shared a few…um, ya, they are kinda addictive! I used chocolate chips once and cacao chips the other times. I like them both ways. I also think they would be extra delicious crumbled atop of some homemade ice vanilla ice cream…ooohhh, that sounds nice. I’ll try it out for ya 🙂 Mini Chocolate Chip Cookies
Fruit Dip
I’m still loving my strawberries so of course I use them to dip in this delicious dip, but you can use whatever strikes your fancy 🙂 This is easy peasy to make and will be a nice after dinner treat. It also makes a nice dish to take to a potluck with some fresh fruit. I hope you love it! Fruit Dip
Chocolate Covered Strawberry Smoothie + Popsicles
Love me some smoothies and popsicles when it’s hot outside. And whew! It’s HOT already! The great thing about these bad boys is that all you need to do is make a little extra smoothie and then pour it into your popsicle mold. I have some similar to these: click here. But these also look pretty fun: Click here. I literally throw everything but the kitchen sink in my smoothies but here is a simple sweet recipe for you 🙂 Chocolate Covered Strawberry Smoothie
Almond Flour Pancakes
Topped these with some of the slow cooker apple butter recipe I just posted and yum yum! They were gone in a hurry!
Slow Cooker Apple Butter
So what started out as a great idea for Christmas presents has turned into a labor of love, but after my 4th batch of doubling the recipe I am becoming quite the apple butter makin’ workhorse! I initially peeled the apples using a potato peeler and then chopped them by hand….needless to say it took quite a while and then I was so sad that I only got 3 and 1/2 jars!! AND THEN…my sweet friend loaned my an apple corer/peeler/chopper and my life changed! I ordered a crate of apples from our local apple guy and went to work! […]
Chocolate Cake
I was searching for a yummy chocolate cake recipe for a friend of mine and came across this on nourishingmeals.com. I was very super tasty although my creation turned out a little lumpy and the icing was grey but hey who cares, right? Here is the link to the cake recipe http://www.nourishingmeals.com/2009/02/gluten-free-vegan-sugar-free-chocolate.html *I did the modification of adding the chia seeds instead of the xanthum gum and it worked great! I didn’t use the frosting recipe included on the post, but instead I made some Cashew Cream Frosting. I thought it worked really well with the cake but the color […]
Gluten Free Banana Bread
A little bit of an experiment that actually turned out on the first try, yay!! I love it when it works the first time!
