Fall à la mode 🍨


Hey friends❣️

Homemade ice cream has one of the biggest ROIs in the culinary world. I think that's because you can so easily get wildly creative with flavors. And then come the à la mode matchups!

Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream

I've never had a better pumpkin ice cream. Store bought pales in comparison to this frosty creamy fall season on a spoon treat. Is it worth buying a simple ice cream maker so you can experience it? Absolutely.

One you catch the homemade ice cream bug you'll see what I mean.

Fall Ice Cream + Dessert Pairings

Can you play this game with store bought stuff, sure, but it's more fun when you can spin the flavor wheel with your own creations...and anyway, where else are you going to find gingerbread ice cream??

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!

thin and crispy cookies
