National Ice Cream Day

So in honor of National Ice Cream Day I’m sharing our current favorite ice cream recipe. You need 1 1/2 quarts of a combination of cream/half & half/ whole milk. With more milk than cream the ice cream freeze harder. With more cream the softer the ice cream will be. I typically use a combination…

Travel Tuesday!

Did you know that Tuesday is the best travel day? Airfare is typically less and the airport/ flights are less busy. Traveling can be fun and exiting. The downside to traveling is that you are often out of sink with your normal routine. For many years I self- sabotaged with the mindset that I can…

I Scream You Scream We All Scream for Ice Cream

July is hot and prefect for ice cream! Just like the rhythm I Scream You Scream we all Scream for Ice Cream and just in time for the Independence Day!🇺🇸 We love ice cream and we love making homemade ice cream even more. Recently we discovered A2A milk! Have you tried it? So far those…

Look what I made!

I love it when my recipe looks like the picture! I swap ingredients a lot because of food allergies and the final product doesn’t alway match the picture! I’ve always said that taste is more important than looks but it’s even better when it looks like the original recipe. This recipe is from Vegetarian Cooking…

It’s Fall Y’all

And just like that it’s Fall 🍁Somehow the summer flew by and the cooler temperatures are setting up a beautiful autumn 🍂 We are in full fall schedule with school, church, and swim while trying to cook and do homework each night. I try to cook ahead as much as I can roasting veggies and…

One Skillet Curry Chicken

I wasn’t a fan of curry growing up. Now I can eat it with a spoon! Tonight, I was craving curry and pulled this off only using what I had on hand. A win-win! It’s also a one skillet easy quick meal. I used bone- in chicken thighs though boneless skinless would have been easier…

Apple Cider Donuts

We are definitely in apple cider county. We consider ourselves connoisseurs after only a year living here. We’ve had the opportunity of sampling many varieties of this tasty mix of apples and spices. A true connoisseur never buys apple cider with added sugar. We’ve had apple cider hot, cold, and even had blind taste tests….

Sweet Potato Baby

I never met a sweet potato I didn’t like. In fact I believe they are a year-round staple and not just for Thanksgiving. I grew up eating them for Thanksgiving and Christmas every year. Each year we gathered for the 4th of July, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Sweet potatoes were served in the fall and winter…

All Things Fall 🍎🍏🍂⛰

Fall always meant swapping out the wardrobe and sweating to be fashionable. Since moving to Virginia fall means 40 degree mornings and 60s in the day. Fall also means picking apples and not sweating at the pumpkin farm. This weekend it was brisk at the apple orchard. Pony rides, carriage rides, and our first cup…

Pumpkin Protein Oatmeal

Yesterday I opened a can of pumpkin purée to make a pumpkin spice latte. So what to do with the rest? I’d made a pumpkin pie protein shake, pumpkin bisque, so why not pumpkin oatmeal. It feels like fall. Warm, yummy, and healthy. Ingredients: 2 cups water Pinch of salt 1 cup gluten free oatmeal…

Homemade Granola

This summer we’ve spent a lot of time together exploring and baking. One of our favorite things to make is granola. Much of the store-bought allergy friendly versions have sugar as the first or second ingredient. I’ve been working on this recipe a while and now feel it is ready to share. I will say…
