Bake apple crisp, then top it with decadent slow cooker whiskey salted caramel sauce.
Rhubarb Crumble Ice Cream
This rhubarb crumble ice cream is a variation of the rhubarb crumble frozen yogurt I made two summers ago. Thanks to the rhubarb, it’s sweet and tart, but the crumble and the ice cream base keep it rich and creamy. The other day my sister asked me whether I’d been using my ice cream maker this summer, and I […]
Real Mint Chocolate Ice Cream
Have you ever had mint ice cream made with real mint leaves, not mint extract? It’s actually quite different–it’s more mellow, but also more complex, with extra flavors from the mint leaves. Add in some dark chocolate, and you’ve got a killer mint chocolate ice cream.
Cardamom Berry Oatmeal Crumble Bars
These cardamom berry oatmeal crumble bars might be my new go-to for casual summer potlucks. They’re sweet and chewy, but they’ve got a little spice from the cardamom, and some whole wheat flour to make them a bit hearty. Plus, the berries mean they just taste like summer.

The story of this recipe begins at that mecca of snack food, Trader Joe’s. If you’ve ever regularly shopped at Trader Joe’s, you probably know this tale of […]
Grain-Free Chocolate Hazelnut Brownies
These Grain-Free Chocolate Hazelnut Brownies happen to be grain-free and dairy-free, but the first time I made them, I was just trying to use up some hazelnut pulp, left over from making hazelnut milk. Though I’m a vegetarian, I have no problems with regular dairy, so I had no real reason for making the hazelnut […]
