Lima Bean Soup with Roasted Veg and Sauteed Mushrooms

It’s been too long. I’ve missed you guys! I’ve been hibernating, stalling my life, waiting for spring to start.

Green Tea Ice Cream
Yes, this ice cream is literally just NY Times base with a quarter cup of matcha powder in it, but seeing as this is probably my favorite ice cream, I felt the need to talk about it. It deserves it’s own post. It’s so pretty. And delish! And anyone who claims not to like green tea ice cream is wrong. And I’m right (because I am … Continue reading Green Tea Ice Cream
Beet and Potato Skillet Pizza
This pizza was amazing because I realized before even making it that it would not be the perfect slice you get with the right wood burning, pizza making oven. This has a thick puffy crust and gives the slight impression of flatbread. I still have yet to find the perfect pizza crust that rolls out into a thin crust that even my everyday oven doesn’t ruin. … Continue reading Beet and Potato Skillet Pizza
Best Cocoa Brownies
I started using this recipe a long time ago, it started way back when I could only make about 3 things, brownies being one of them. Chocolate chip cookies and Guacamole being the other two.

Everyone always loves these, and now that I … Continue reading Best Cocoa Brownies

That is how good this is! So here is … Continue reading Buttermilk Ice Cream. Strawberry Swirl. Candied Pink Peppercorns.

I have discovered my new favorite snack! And it’s not hard to make a lot of it. Keep this in your fridge and you will never be hungry again! But it is by far best homemade, cause then you can get just the right amount of chunkiness for your liking and the right spice mixture, feel free to play with my spice mixture to make … Continue reading Applesauce
Thyme for Honey Ice Cream!
I must first apologize for the horribly long time it has been since my last post, but I have exciting news relating to ice cream! We got a new ice cream maker, you know, the kind that is an actual freezer, rather than just having a freezer bowl. It works magnificently, especially with a wonderful flavor combo like honey and thyme. And I know it … Continue reading Thyme for Honey Ice Cream!
