Salted Caramel Ice Cream
/
I’m amazed at how simple it is to make salted caramel sauce. It cooks up in minutes and tastes just as good, (if not better!) than the fancy jar stuff.

Spicy Peach Crumble

This is the best crumble ever, I kid you not. I’ve never made it this way and you know how I’m a huge fan of crumbles, and now I’m sold on preparing it this way, it only takes a couple extra steps but I think this is how crumbles were meant to be.

What is that I spot in the yard? Blueberries? I was so excited to see them, we had no idea what bush this was on the side of the house when we moved in. They’re not quite ready for picking but they certainly made me crave a blueberry dish.

We’ve been house hunting lately and it seems each weekend we fly out out the door to open houses and somehow have forgotten to eat breakfast. I’m not a big fan of eating in the car but it sure beats a grumbling stomach. I’m preparing for the weekend so that we have a nice stash of muffins with us.

You might remember from my last post that I was making strawberry ice cream for dessert. Well here it is and it turned out incredible. Of all the amazing ice cream out there this has to be one of my favorites. But then I am quite taken to the berry/chocolate/nut flavor combination.
