Vanilla Ice Cream

May 9, 2011

Or, the best ice cream base ever. What’s your favorite ice cream flavor? I’m sure we can make it work… May is ice cream season! Of course, that means that summer is around the corner and baby and I will be frequenting the Lighthouse for soft-serve strawberry ice cream. But it also means that I [...]

Orange Sherbet

March 4, 2011

I don’t know why sherbet is spelled like this but pronounced sherbert. I do know that it is different than sorbet because it has dairy in it – in this case, whole milk.

Banana Ice Cream with Peanut Butter Swirl

June 2, 2010

I don’t buy bananas often, because even though I hang them from my handy dandy dough hook, they turn from green to brown.

Salmon Packet

May 27, 2010

Don’t have time to make a delicious fish dish? Think again! Cooking in foil or parchment paper is a quick and easy method, plus it’s very forgiving. I made mine with salmon, whole wheat couscous, veggies, and white wine. I got the idea from Alton Brown, obviously. He has a blackboard full of ideas on [...]
