I’m going to be honest with you right now. When I set out to make this fabulous dairy filled dessert I was hoping to create one killer Strawberry no-bake Cheesecake. But sometimes mistakes in recipe development can turn into beautiful disasters. My creamy Strawberry Cheesecake filling was a little on the runny side and wouldn’t hold, so I did the logical thing and threw it in my freezer. That’s when the Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream Cake was born. If you {Read More}
Today is a special day. It’s my husband’s birthday! But more importantly… that means- only 4 more weeks until my birthday!! On your birthday in our house you get your choice of dinner and dessert. My husband has chosen Taco Pizza for dinner followed by his all time favorite dessert – Banana Split. Great combination. (??) A banana split is serious business {according to my husband}. It starts off with a full banana, split right down the center and opened up {Read More}
Is it just me or are you getting sick of winter too? Give me some sun, give me some tropics, give me some Virgin Banana Fosters. Banana Fosters is a deliciously rich dessert that is filled with spiced bananas and walnuts floating in an intense caramel sauce. It’s usually drowned in rum then flambéd to cook off the alcohol, but I skipped the alcohol to make this a family friendly dessert that will surely become a favorite. Don’t worry though, {Read More}
Ice cream ready in 3 minutes? Yeah, I didn’t believe it at first either, but that’s exactly what these Mugz Ice Cream Makers claim to do. These little ice cream makers are adorable and do not require batteries, or any sort of electricity. They run off pure kid energy. These Mugz are a perfect gift for any kid that loves ice cream, slushies, frozen yogurt, or sorbets. Since I have 4 kids, and they aren’t always on the same page {Read More}
I’m in a weird spot right now. The world is transitioning into fall, with big beautiful green trees turning all shades of red, brown, yellow and orange. The air is crisper in the evenings, and the mornings arrive with dew drops on the grass. Cinnamon and spice candles burn and invite the welcoming smells of what is sure to be a glorious season. Sounds magical doesn’t it? Right now temperatures here in Arizona are just barely dropping under 100 degrees. {Read More}
Someone really needs to slap the coconut out of my hands. I’m addicted. It’s a good thing too, because I had a craving for some type of fruity and rich ice cream. Then I remembered how much I love the creamy tropical goodness of a Piña Colada; and the Piña Colada Ice Cream was born. It’s full of crushed pineapple, shredded coconut, cream, and just a hint of rum extract {yeah, it’s kid friendly too!}. Then, because I’m so smart, {Read More}
Being that I used to serve at Chili’s, I feel it is my duty to share this recipe with you. Who doesn’t love a warm, rich chocolate cake filled with a hot and gooey, flowing chocolate center? Top it off with some decadent and creamy vanilla ice cream and my 2 ingredient Magic Shell Ice Cream topper, and you have yourself one praise-worthy dessert. Seriously folks, this is it. The end-all be-all of desserts. To be completely honest, this is {Read More}
Do you ever have days when you feel like the odds are just not in your favor? Like no matter how hard you try you just can’t seem to catch a break? That was me, all day last Saturday. I was throwing my baby her 1st birthday party. Nothing too extravagant. Just a few family members over for a hot dog party. The day seemed to be going well at first, even though my husband (aka- The Man) had to {Read More}
Last week my family and I went on a long vacation with many stops. Our first stop was an impromptu camping trip in Northern Arizona with some old friends that we hadn’t seen in years. While sitting in my camp chair I listened to a dear friend tell me all about the benefits of Coconut Oil. She was using it for skin care, deodorant, and frying chicken. Yeah… I was a little skeptical. But at the same time, intrigued. Flash forward {Read More}
It is officially hotter than Hades here in Arizona. And it’s only going to get hotter. Then I remembered that waaaaay in the back of my cupboard I had an ice cream maker. So I did the logical thing and made frozen yogurt. Fro-yo is my all time favorite frozen treat. I’m kind of weird like that. Ice cream is just too creamy sometimes and leaves me begging for a glass of water, and a treadmill. But Frozen Yogurt is the {Read More}
