With all of the jalapeño peppers that this summer heat is producing in our garden I thought it would be an ideal time to make some jalapeño jelly. I have never made this before, but have eaten it a number of times at holiday parties served with cream cheese and crackers. I found the basic … Continue reading
I have a feeling that today’s post is going to be one of many cakes that will appear in the next few months. My husband’s birthday in July is the start of “the season of birthdays” in our family. July. August. September. September. October. I am usually pretty tired of making cakes by the end … Continue reading
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. 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! 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
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
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
