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
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. It can easily be made with dairy cream, if you prefer a milk-based ice cream. Fresh … Continue reading
With cherries ripening and brightening up orchard trees now is the time to be looking for a good pie recipe to use those fresh cherries in!

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.

With summer underway, red-ripe strawberries and rhubarb are emerging from gardens and into the produce isles of local grocery stores. I picked some rhubarb last week and was just itching for a time when I could make a strawberry rhubarb pie and post this great recipe. You see, my grandma always made rhubarb pie growing … Continue reading
Today’s writing is about sort of an experiment that I did. I made pie crust with whole wheat flour {well, almost completely whole wheat flour} and coconut oil. I love whole wheat, don’t get me wrong. But when it comes to pie crust…ehhh, let’s face it…working with all-purpose flour is a bit easier. If you … Continue reading
I recently posted a recipe for Homemade Coconut Milk Ice Cream in which I made a strawberry flavor. Since summer is in full swing, I thought I would do a series of different flavored homemade versions of this fabulously creamy, dairy-free treat. I got to thinking about different flavor combinations and I automatically dreamed of … Continue reading
In our family it is a tradition to make homemade ice cream on Memorial Day. It ends up being a great treat for everyone. That is unless you aren’t able to eat dairy for whatever reason. We have a couple of people in our family that fall into this category. I was planning on making … Continue reading
This past week we celebrated Easter and we had a great time celebrating Jesus’ resurrection with family! One tradition that my husband’s family had when he was younger was that every Easter they would make orange-infused bread in the shape of little bunny rabbits. It has been a few years since we have done this … Continue reading
