Black Forest Ice Cream

May 7, 2015 By Erica Acevedo Leave a Comment

Bourbon roasted cherries, chunks of fudgey brownies, and a vanilla bean ice cream base make the world go round in this delicious Black Forest Ice Cream recipe!

It’s hoooooooooot.

Like, slap-in-the-face as soon as you walk out the door humid heat.

Typical for Florida, really, but extremely unwelcome. It’s only May! This doesn’t bode well for the actual summer season, I imagine.

I suppose it’s a good thing I received an ice cream attachment for my Kitchen Aid mixer last year! I can see it getting put to use over the next few months. Ugh, few, what am I talking about. It won’t cool off until October!

Might as well get started now. How about a twist on a famous German cake in this cold. refreshing, and liquored up Black Forest Ice Cream? [Read more…]

Mexican Hot Chocolate Brownies with Dulce de Leche

Happy Cinco de Mayo! If you’re looking for an easy and festive dessert to make tonight, you have come to the right place. Mexican hot chocolate is a favorite flavor profile of mine–cinnamon, vanilla, and the heat of cayenne combine with chocolate SO beautifully. I love working that flavor profile into more than just hot chocolate. These Mexican Hot Chocolate Brownies with Dulce de Leche are rich, decadent, and sure to be a hit with your family.

The brownies and the dulce de leche are both incredibly easy to make, using simple ingredients you probably have on hand. I hope you enjoy them! 🙂

Skinny Cheesecake Dip

May 4, 2015 By Rebekah Stark 1 Comment

When you’re eating healthy during the day . . . and wine is off-limits during the week . . . you need something to take the edge off. You just need something that feels bad for you. But it can’t actually be bad for you.

Enter: Skinny Cheesecake Dip. I’m okay with having this in my refrigerator waiting for me when I need something sweet. It’s no-bake, it comes together in minutes, and you can make it sugar-free or low-fat, deepening on your preference.

Plus? It’s cheesecake and it’s dip. Dip means you can eat as much as you want in one sitting, right? Endless cheesecake!?!?

Look at how fluffy that is? Don’t you want to just get some strawberries to dip?? Or just your finger?

Easy Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookies

April 28, 2015 By Nina B Leave a Comment

First, let’s talk about this giraffe plate. It’s amazing, from anthro, and I only asked for the single plate for Christmas because the rest of the set could not keep up with this one so it is all by its lonesome in my cabinets.

Secondly, my nonna, the best cook I know, learned to cook when she got married and moved out. Every night she would call her mother and tell her what she had in the fridge and her mother would tell her how to cook it. I am not married but I have moved out and so I call my nonna for recipes or my mom. This recipe comes from my mom. Neither of us know where it comes from but it’s easy and delicious. Both of us love walnuts in our desserts–our cookies and our brownies–but feel free to leave them out.
