Do you love wine? Do you love ice cream? Well now you can make the most delicious dessert using wine. This actually comes out as ice cream and not an ice or gelato as you think it might. This would make an impressive dessert at a bridal shower, baby shower or summer picnic. Or just whip up a batch and save it for an indulgent treat for yourself. Try using some different varieties of wines to see what you like best. Some suggestions would be Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot noir, Zinfandel and Sangiovese.

Growing up, I had a lot of pancakes, but they were usually either the frozen kind or Aunt Jemima boxed mix.  Both were so delicious, but there was always something fascinating to me about eating out at a breakfast joint and ordering “homemade” pancakes.  They were so good and so different.

When I got married, I started searching for more recipes I could make for breakfast.  One day I realized I didn’t want to have any more Aunt Jemima or Bisquick pancakes, but homemade.  I searched endlessly for a recipe and finally came across this one.  It is a single serving, but can easily be doubled or tripled to fit your needs- I’ve done it multiple times.

Quick Tip: Add a bit more sugar to the batter to make the pancakes a little sweeter if you want to skip on the syrup.

Growing up, my mom made so many different pies.  Apple pie, peach cobbler, key lime pie, brownie pie, and so many more.  However, this banana cream pie was always my dad’s favorite dessert and she’d make it time and time again for him.

We’ve had this pie at our simplest at home dinners, as well as dinner parties or BBQ’s.  My family adores this pie and it has become an all-time favorite of mine.  I now make this in mini versions for my husband and I to enjoy on weeknights as well as normal sized to share with friends when they come over for dinner.  It’s just that good.

Quick Tip: Make your own Oreo crust by putting about 30 cookies in the food processor and then mixing it with 1/3 cup of butter and 3 tablespoons of sugar.  Then press into any pie dish you’d like.

On a rainy summer afternoon, I wasn’t feeling up to spending so much time in the kitchen crafting a recipe to delight on such a gloomy day.  Instead, I was craving a hearty soup filled with comforting flavors of summer to make that gloomy day bright again.  And this soup absolutely did that.  It did not disappoint.

My husband and I enjoyed this soup on a lovely evening in and then had left overs for the next day.  This soup serves approximately 4-6 people.  After that, I divided it into portions and froze it and it was still just as delicious when I thawed it out and enjoyed it a few days later!

I’ll be honest, coffee cake has never been one of my favorite desserts. I always found it to be dry. Then, I came across this recipe for raspberry cream cheese coffee cake and my taste buds went straight to the Pearly Gates of Great Food. This cake is anything but dry and the raspberry and cream cheese filling give it a wild punch of flavor.

I am a huge fan of cream cheese and incorporating the rich and smooth dairy delight into desserts. I love how this ingredient compliments the coffee cake. Do you enjoy adding cream cheese to your recipes? Share with me in the comments what your favorite cream cheese dessert recipes are. I bet you can guess what mine is 🙂

I remember the first time I made biscuits.  I had just watched Anne of Green Gables and she made biscuits and I desperately wanted to try them.  I had never tasted them, but they looked oh-so-good.  I pulled my American Girl recipe book and found a simple buttermilk recipe and was hooked.  I could eat that with butter, cheese, jams…anything really!

I recently made corn chowder and I wanted a yummy bread to dip in it, but didn’t want to take  a trip to the supermarket.  I knew I didn’t have time to make a loaf of bread so I looked for a biscuit recipe.  I ran across this one and it was absolutely perfect.  My husband and I devoured the entire batch in two evenings.  It was so delicious!
