Summer in Texas: Ice Cream & Cannonballs (and a giveaway!)

May 14, 2012

I don’t need a calendar to tell me that summer is nearly here. The days get longer, the electric bill skyrockets, we enjoy weekend lunches by the pool, evenings are capped with dinner and a beautiful sunset on the patio, and the neighborhood kids get louder with each passing day as they pile off [...]

Peanut Butter Cup Ice Cream

May 7, 2012

This is the second recipe for peanut butter cup ice cream that you’ll find here on our blog. The first one is my favorite of the two – it’s absolutely divine. It’s a rich, chocolatey base studded with chunks of homemade peanut butter cup filling and chopped peanut butter cups. How can you go wrong [...]

Tin Roof Ice Cream

April 11, 2012

What is your favorite ice cream? Tin Roof ranks up there as one of my very, very favorite flavors. My favorite store brand (Blue Bell) has it in seasonal rotation, meaning I can’t just wake up on any Saturday morning and run to the store to grab some for breakfast. (That has never happened. I [...]

White Sangria Popsicles

July 26, 2011

The only thing better than a frosty beverage is… okay, there’s nothing better than a frosty beverage. But a grown-up popsicle is darn close Sangria popsicles. Sangria on a stick. We had such fun with the margarita popsicles that instead of drinking the pitcher of White Sangria, we poured it into small cups and froze [...]

If you are what you eat, we are currently part margarita (although I think we’re permanently part Margarita ), part zucchini, part peach, and part ice cream sandwich. We’ve been making ice cream sandwiches as a fun way to cool down at the end of the 100+ degree days. The possibilities for homemade ice cream [...]

Margarita Popsicles

June 9, 2011

I’ve never been much of a frozen drink girl but I think I’ve been missing out. It’s seventh-circle-of-hell hot outside. We’ve been enjoying lots of frozen cantaloupe and pineapple margaritas recently but we decided to take it one step further: Margarita Popsicles. They couldn’t be easier! I whipped up a modified batch of our house [...]

Texas Olive Oil & Meyer Lemon Ice Cream

April 26, 2011

I recently attended Texas Olive Harvest at Central Market, a cooking demonstration highlighting olive oils from the Texas Olive Ranch, the only olive oil producer in Texas that puts out 100% Texas-grown olive oil. We’ve been using their olive oil for a couple of months and love it. Texas has thrown its hat into the [...]

Strawberry-Sour Cream Ice Cream

April 13, 2011

A couple of weeks ago, we made the drive over to Froberg’s Farm in Alvin to pick strawberries. I told myself on the way over there I wouldn’t get carried away and come home with something crazy like 8 lbs of strawberries. We can always go back when we run out, after all. But when [...]
