With all of the cherries that we have been picking, cleaning, pitting and freezing this past week I thought we deserved a little cherry treat now {instead of waiting for winter to roll around to pull them out of the freezer}. What was decided upon? Cherry cobbler. Just as tasty, if not more so, than … Continue reading
Today’s post was inspired by a friend who posted a recipe on Facebook for no-knead bread that has a slow rise overnight. The ingredients in that recipe? All-purpose flour, salt, yeast and water. I thought I could make it a little healthier and more tasty {although I didn’t try that recipe, I am sure it … Continue reading
This next ice cream post in my summer series was inspired by a recipe I read for Fresh Mint Froyo with Dark Chocolate Chunks, posted at http://www.thefauxmartha.com. My recipe isn’t frozen yogurt, nor is it even dairy. This rich and creamy custard was made with 2 cans of full-fat coconut cream. A good place to … Continue reading
Today’s ice cream post is again dairy free, made with cans of full-fat coconut milk. It almost has a sorbet taste to it though, because of the sugar-syrup I made with water that I cooked the cherries down in.

My family and I picked the red cherries off of the trees last night, so today has been spent pitting the cherries and putting them away in the freezer … Continue reading
My oldest daughter came in yesterday afternoon after playing with the dogs in the backyard and excitedly showed me a perfectly round, ripe, red cherry and exclaimed that the cherries were ready to be picked. I had just been out by the orchard a few days before and hadn’t seen any ripe cherries at all, … Continue reading
Continuing on with my summer-loving series of different homemade ice creams, I bring to you today a Caramel Pecan Dark Chocolate Swirl Ice Cream. One of my favorite ice cream flavors when visiting an ice cream or custard shop is a turtle sunday. The combination of pecans, chocolate and caramel just does something for me…it’s … Continue reading
We started the planting of our garden a bit later than we normally do this year. Even so, it is amazing to watch everyday as the plants grow a bit bigger and buds and flowers start forming. It gets me excited for when we will be able to start harvesting the big things like tomatoes, … Continue reading
