I stumbled upon a Chocolate Ganache ice cream recipe at ashleemarie.com but made a few changes, the biggest being that I added a handful of chopped raw almonds towards the end of the churning time.

It's officially strawberry season, my daughter and I picked almost 20 pounds of 'em over the weekend! This is one of my favorite summer desserts because it's light, easy to make and has a great presentation. I found it on Allrecipes.com at least nine years ago and have made it so many times since then.... Continue Reading →
This is the ultimate cake for a true chocolate/salted caramel lover. Honestly I can think of only three people I am willing to bake one for because it is such a beast! One of those three had a birthday yesterday and this was the result. I used this recipe for my daughter's high school graduation... Continue Reading →
