Dessert’s in the freezer ❄️


Hey friends❣️

It’s so hot my windows are fogged up as I write this morning’s email, so today’s new recipe feels spot on.

An ice cream terrine is a fun layered frozen dessert that anyone can make ~ all you need is a loaf pan and a few pints of ice cream. It slices like cake, and every piece is its own little masterpiece. If you're new to this concept, you can read all about it here.

It's the kind of thing you can spin into endless combinations all summer long.

Ice Cream Sundae Terrine

if you're like me and you're dealing with heat this week, I've got lots of frosty ideas for you. If you've got an ice cream maker (this is the one I've used for years) I highly recommend my lemon ice cream, you won't find anything like it in the freezer aisle.

Fresh Lemon Ice Cream

No ice cream machine? Go semi homemade with a store bought pint and a fabulous homemade sauce:

Homemade Hot Fudge

Honey Caramel Sauce

Fresh Cherry Sauce or Homemade Strawberry Sauce

or my favorite:

Homemade Magic Shell

I love to make delicious food, photograph it, and write about it, but mostly, I just love to EAT. Isn’t that what it’s all about? My recipes are bold and vibrant, but totally approachable ~ and my philosophy? We should all have the tools to feed ourselves well, and the confidence to cut loose a little in the kitchen. Food should be fun.

Summer Slaw Recipes

Hey friends❣️ Happy Sunday! My younger daughter and her boyfriend moved into a rental house on the other side of town, and they threw a housewarming party this week. Hanging over the fence in the backyard was a massive mulberry tree, so you know I didn't leave that party without a Ziploc baggie full of juicy little purple mulberries. I haven't shared a mulberry recipe yet on my site, so this will be a first. Can you guess what I made? But today we've got a heat advisory, so slaw is on the...

BBQ Side Dishes

Hey friends❣️ I’m a side dish kind of girl, whether it’s Thanksgiving or the Fourth. The mains can have their moment, but I’m always circling back to the backup dishes ~ that’s where all the fun is.

Corn, beans, biscuits, salads, slaws… basically everything I want on my plate before I even get to the ribs. BBQ Sides get the recipes Did you know? You can set The View from Great...

Americana charcuterie board

Hey friends❣️ I’m excited to share this project with you ~ we had such fun working on it. This milestone Fourth of July feels complicated to me. The usual flags-on-everything approach doesn’t feel quite right this year, so I’m going with a classic piece of Americana instead: the star quilt. And I’m making it into a charcuterie board.
