No Churn Salted Ripple Chip Ice Cream

Jul 31, 2014 | By Melissa

*Drool.* (That’s basically what happened to me the first time I stumbled across this recipe.) It’s the end of National Ice Cream Month, and I am still on a homemade-ice-cream-for-all kick. No ice cream machine? No problem! This ice cream really did require a lot of patience, though. First I had to make dulce de […]

Crockpot Dulce de Leche

Jul 30, 2014 | By Melissa

I tend to resist buying things if there is the slightest chance I could make them at home. Things that are delicious and definitely need to be a part of my life. Things like dulce de leche. But then, often, I get scared or distracted, and before I know it two years have passed and […]

Roasted Salmon with Dilly Cream Sauce

Jul 28, 2014 | By Melissa

A few weeks ago, Sarah told me that she had a dill plant that was threatening to take over the world, and asked if we could possibly put it to good use? Um, YES! I must admit that I’ve never really liked dill. (I think I have admitted that before.) It just reminds me of […]

Dairy-Free Coconut Gelato

Jul 25, 2014 | By Melissa

If you’ve been hanging around here for a while, you might know that my mom has a lot of food intolerances. We don’t get to share as many meals as I would like now that we live in different cities, but I am always looking for recipes and treats to share with her! Ice cream […]

Dal Makhani (Lentils with Tomatoes and Cream)

Jul 14, 2014 | By Melissa

I’ve been thinking for a while that I should give dal another chance. The first time I made it, I used a crockpot recipe that turned out to be super boring and a little like eating dirt…and Dave said, “Well what do you expect? This is what lentils taste like.” But since then, I have […]

No Churn Nutella Ice Cream

Jul 09, 2014 | By Melissa

You are going to LOVE me. (Or hate me.) I have found the perfect ice cream recipe. I mean seriously. Hang up your hat, make yourself at home, look no further, this is the best ice cream in the world. Just in time for National Ice Cream Month! Why is this ice cream so perfect? Let […]

Open Face Lentil and Greens Sandwich

Jun 25, 2014 | By Melissa

So last week I went to New York City with my husband to celebrate our 5-year anniversary. Let’s just say it was a fairly glorious week. I ate my weight in delicious foods: pizzas, croissants, bagels, salmon, mac and cheese, many glasses of wine, chocolate of all kinds. And while I brought my computer along—with […]

Baking with Whey: Lemon Rhubarb Bundt Cake

Jun 11, 2014 | By Melissa

I sometimes joke that my entrance exam into my husband’s family was learning the recipe for rhubarb pie. Dave really loves rhubarb. But he has never even batted an eye at my suggestions of non-pie rhubarb desserts…until one day last week, when he suddenly looked up and asked me to make him a rhubarb coffee […]

Cake Batter Ice Cream

Jun 06, 2014 | By Melissa

I must say, I love ice cream. I love it all year long! But there is something magical about ice cream on a hot day. The way it drips down your fingers and chin, the cold, refreshing sweet cream on your tongue… I heard the ice cream truck touring through the neighborhood a few days […]

Lemon Bars

May 08, 2014 | By Melissa

Believe it or not, I have never liked lemon bars. But not for the reason you think (remember…the whole not-liking-fruit bit?)! I’ve always thought they just weren’t lemony enough. I think I just want them to taste a little more tart, to pack a little more punch. But really, who wants to be punched in […]
