It just so happened that the first store we stumbled upon was the Williams-Sonoma outlet. Swoon. They had some some things outside for a “sidewalk sale” and I noticed a stack [...]

Root beer floats. Cake. Root beer float cake. Totally genius. And so delicious. I adore root beer floats. Actually, floats of any kind. I have been known to throw a scoop of vanilla ice cream in a bowl and pour Diet Coke over it. There are many things I am not above doing all in [...]

It’s been a little while since I threw chocolate and peanut butter together in a sweet concoction. In fact, it’s been nearly a month since I made the Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Ice Cream. A month without chocolate and peanut butter together is much too long in my little world! Plus, I hadn’t been in [...]

Happy Royal Wedding Day, folks! In just a few short hours Will & Kate will be saying their “I Do’s” and a vast majority of the world will be watching, no doubt bleary-eyed, waiting to see what the bride will be wearing and awing at the pomp and circumstance. I, for one, did not set [...]

Back when I talked about my Florida vacation and all of the wonderful things about it, I included all of the ice cream that I ate. We made a habit of polishing off a cone just about every evening, which I of course loved! While on vacation, I fell in love with the Chocolate Peanut [...]

As I mentioned on Friday, I have been doing some experimentation with the beer and chocolate combination. The Guinness-chocolate ice cream that I made totally kicked butt, so I couldn’t wait to see how I liked beer and chocolate in my cake. The answer? I like it, a whole heck of a lot. This was [...]
