I recently bought this Cuisinart ice cream maker as a present to myself for my birthday. I’m so excited to start making ice cream, sorbet and frozen yogurt! So excited in fact, that a new feature has been born, Ice Cream Sunday! Get ready for a new frozen desert recipe every Sunday for the rest […]
Cookies and cream is probably one of my favorite ice cream flavors. Soft cookies in vanilla ice cream? Uh, yes please. Oh, a little off topic, but can we all just agree that stale, soft Oreo’s are way better than fresh? Cool. The problem I sometimes have with cookies and cream is some ice cream […]
Holidays are fun for many reasons, but the top reason in my book is enjoying awesome food with people you love. Sometimes the food stems from a family tradition, a cultural expectation, an excuse to indulge, or just a reason to make something with a theme. Whatever the reason, food really makes a lot of […]
Expectations can make or break an experience. Sometimes we set our expectations too high, and when these expectations aren’t met we feel let down. On the flip side, when we lower our expectations, the results have the ability to blow us away. I think it’s important to expect good things. Expecting good things promotes positive […]
I’m not sure how to start this post other than holy freaking cow, this ice cream is maybe the best thing I have ever put in my mouth. A little dramatic? Sure. But I’m serious, this ice cream is amazing. It’s unbelievably creamy, smooth, rich, and yet slightly fluffy. Throw in some chewy brownie and you […]
When I was brainstorming what ice cream to make for this week, I realized I haven’t made chocolate ice cream yet (well, Nutella ice cream kinda counts). How this happened, I’m not quite sure. So, I set out to make the creamiest, richest, most chocolatey ice cream I could. I am happy to report this […]
If I don’t have my coffee by 2 pm, I usually get a headache and experience an overall lack of motivation to do anything. Yes, my name is Amanda, and I’m a caffeine addict. Admitting you have a problem is the first step, but believe me, I have no intention to “fix” this problem. Sorry, […]
When I had mono during my last year in high school, all I wanted were green tea flavored things. My diet consisted mostly of green tea ice cream and Arizona green tea. After this green tea binge, I had to take a break from it for a while. To this day, Arizona green tea is […]
Woah, it’s Sunday already? I don’t know about you guys, but the past week flew by. I have a feeling the month of August as a whole is gonna be a whirlwind; Tommy and I are moving at the end of the month, and we are going to Bumbershoot music festival on our official moving […]
If you had to choose one kind of pie to eat for the rest of your life, what would it be? I know it’s a very serious, personal question that will probably require some serious soul searching to answer. Take a few minutes to think about it. No pressure. For me, it’s gotta be blueberry […]
It’s birthday season for me! My dad’s birthday is the end of July, my sister’s birthday was the 22nd, my mom’s is the 30th and then Tommy’s is the 1st of September. It’s fun to have a bunch of birthdays in a short period of time. Lot’s of gift giving, cake eating and probably a […]
Well, we have made it to the end of this little ice cream series. It’s a little crazy to think it’s already been twelve weeks! That was a lot of ice cream. To say goodbye to summer and transition to fall, I made pumpkin ice cream. I love pumpkin everything, and pumpkin ice cream is […]
