Even though Labor Day usually marks the end of summer, there are still a few weeks of warm weather that remain and I had to squeeze in one last summery fruit recipe with this no-church peach cobbler ice cream. Not usually one to take short-cuts in the kitchen, I draw inspiration from the spirit of…
Grilled Stone Fruit Sundae
Summer is rapidly drawing to a close, and that means our stone fruits are exiting peak season. Sadness. Soon our peaches, plums, cherries, nectarines, etc. will all be replaced by pumpkins. Fall may be my favorite season for all the winter squash it brings, apples, and….beer. But in the meantime, while the weather is still hot…
Banana Split Cheesecake
A well known fact about me – I love ice cream. So much that before we started really eating healthy, I once bought 4 gallons of Blue Bell ice cream when it went on sale for $2.49 each. One of my favorite Blue Bell flavors is the banana split. If I did not control myself,…
Oreo Cheesecake…because, why not?
There’s this little tradition that’s come up. A cheesecake one. You all know my status as a cheesecake aficionado/connoisseur. I take cheesecake very seriously. Look at me. VERY seriously. So, Tucker (my lil bro) is in the Navy. Means we don’t see him very much. When he comes home, I find it to be an excellent excuse…
Lemon Meringue Pie
See, now….I’m sure in every family cookbook, there’s a recipe for Lemon Meringue Pie. It’s been passed down through the generations and invokes memories with just one bite. (sort of like that scene in Ratatouille) I LOVE that movie, and not just because the chef’s name is Remy. I’m off on a tangent. Back to…
Buttermilk Pie
Back with a vengeance!!! We’re mostly settled in the new home. So awesome that our closing/moving date was on the 2nd hottest day on record in Knoxville. High of 104…and we’re moving a truckload of furniture. AND the A/C in the U-Haul was out. Guess who had heat rash at the end of the day?…
Ice Cream Pie
What to do with that big pot of molten chocolate from last week’s post? Make an Ice Cream Pie, of course. This is a very simple recipe, but makes for a crowd pleasing dessert, unless you are lactose intolerant. If that’s the case, then I am so sorry for you because you are missing out….
Homemade Chocolate Fudge Sauce
This recipe comes from my grandmother, my mom’s mom, who probably got it from somewhere many many years ago. I just remember it as her chocolate sauce as part of her Ice Cream Pie. She had two desserts that I begged her to make all of the time – one was a simple no-bake chocolate…
