I love zucchini. I do. It’s one of the easiest veggies out there. It’s happy with a quick slop of olive oil and being tossed on the grill. It can be chopped into salads, grated into quesadillas, added to corn chowder. The opportunities are endless! However, even this zucchini-loving gal needs new ideas for the […]

Any Twin Peaks fans out there? Cherry pie will forever make me think of Peaks. I can’t help it. And it doesn’t matter how long it’s been since I’ve seen the show. And what goes better with cherry pie than coffee?
My husband and I are coffee snobs. Not so much the quality, but yes, […]

For today I’ve got something easy and refreshing. Strawberry Cream Cheese Tart. I like this dessert because it takes advantage of good summer fruit by keeping it whole and raw. There is some baking involved, but not the fruit.
There’s lots of ways to do a fruit tart, though, so here’s a couple more for […]
You simply have to take advantage of peaches in the summer. Like tomatoes, there is really no other time to eat them. The ones you find in the off-season are just sub-par and that’s why we have to dive in and get them while we can.
If you have a market near you that sells […]
I admit, I was dubious about grilled fruit the first time I tried it, but it’s quite good. It is a strange concept to get used to, though. The way I see it, you’ve got the grill going anyway, might as well do something a little different for a dinner party or just jazz up […]
We’ve been talking ice cream this week. It has occurred to me that some folks want an ice cream alternative. Something lower fat. Something healthier. Something to feel less guilty about. So, here’s a great recipe that we use around here all summer in some form or other.
See, I’m much more particular about what […]
It can’t be ignored that having a make-your-own sundae situation at a party is a damn fine thing. I don’t care what age you are. And if you’re anything like me, you want to make as many of the toppings as possible yourself. Stuff from a can or a jar just won’t do. […]

There is an ice cream maker out there for every personality. If you go to cooking.com and search on them, I think you’ll get about 20 or so that come up.
For the person who likes to do things “the old fashioned way,” you can get the hand crank kind your grandma used to have.
For […]
Today we’re just going to get down to it. I mean, why not? It’s too hot to mess around.
This is one of my favorite recipes and it comes to you from cooking.com.
I’ve tried other Strawberry ice cream recipes, but I’ve always come back to this one. Part of why I tried other recipes […]
This week we’ve gotta talk ice cream. It’s officially summer now. Yes, solstice, sure. But as a kid it always felt like summer started once the 4th of July came. Then it became (officially) ice cream season—at least for those of us who are (and always have been) food-focused.
At this time, I […]
