Cherry Berry Nice Cream Sundaes (Vegan+GF)
Is there such a thing as too much ice cream? Also, does anyone else just want to shake the hand of the person who discovered that blending frozen bananas creates this miraculous, creamy consistency? I know I do. Seriously guys, nice cream is life. There’s a cherry tree in our backyard that has the prettiest flowers when it blooms. This year it has matured enough to yield some pretty sweet cherries so we did our best to pick them all. What really surprised me though, was how quickly they came and went. I walked out back a few days ago and they were literally gone already. I was only…

Chunky Monkey Caramelized Banana Split Sundaes (Vegan+GF)
I’ve never made banana splits before you guys, isn’t that ridiculous? We were watching a movie recently and, I don’t even remember which one it was now, but there was a scene in an old-fashioned diner. You know, classic Americana, 1950’s, juke boxes, poodle skirts…. you get the picture. In the scene they brought out this big and beautiful banana split and none of us could help wanting to dive into the screen at that point. I realized immediately that a banana split was lacking in my repertoire of recipes and I knew that I had to fix this major problem as soon as possible. I didn’t want to make just…

5-Ingredient Avocado Key Lime Pie Popsicles (Vegan + GF)
I’ve got a really fun recipe to share today guys! Well, at least I think it’s pretty fun. Any time a recipe can be healthy enough to count as breakfast, easy enough to make with the kiddos, require minimal ingredients and labor, and taste great any time of year, now that’s a really fun recipe in my book. So I haven’t made popsicles in a really long time and my 7-year-old sister has been more than willing to help inform me of this. She’s been on this huge popsicle kick recently which inspired me to dig through my ever growing collection of kitchen gadgets the other day to find my molds. It’s…

Funfetti Birthday Cake Batter Blizzards (Vegan)
In case, like my 7-year-old sister Sophie, you feel the need to ask who’s birthday it is, you can hold off right there. I mean, does it technically have to be someone’s birthday to have funfetti cake and ice cream….? Um, I’m gonna go with absolutely not! Hey, life is basically one big huge party happening all around us and the very fact that you’re here to be a part of it should be enough of a reason to celebrate all on it’s own, don’t you think? We’re walking miracles, you and I. Oh, and plus it’s the weekend! So I never really was into eating cake batter when I…

Butterbeer Ice Cream Floats with Coconut Caramel Ice Cream (Vegan+GF)
Okay, you got me. Yep, I’m a Potter fan. Once upon a time, I enjoyed reading books. Of course, that was when I had tons of free time. These days, the thought of sitting down to a good book for hours and hours is a dim fantasy, and yet somehow it’s not as appealing as it used to be. I don’t think I could concentrate that long anymore, but there was a time when I could, and one of my favoreites was the Harry Potter series. What is it about that those books that’s so captivating when your young? I loved the way Rowling connected everything at the end and how…

Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches (Vegan)
Okay, does anyone remember me mentioning that idea I had a while ago? When I first started this blog I had this idea to make it a project solely dedicated to chocolate chip cookies. All of the things that can be made with them or inspired by them. At the time it was more of a joke then anything else, but now I am thinking it should seriously have been considered as a possibility. One of the only negatives to the idea was that I couldn’t help feeling like it would make me and all of my cookie eaters get tired of them, and that would be unspeakably tragic. Obviously…

Raspberry Swirl Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches (Vegan)
I hope you all remember when I warned you about all of the berries coming your way from the blog. I wasn’t kidding around. It’s going to be berry season soon! I have an obsession with berries. Call me crazy if you like but I think I’d choose fresh berries over chocolate at every opportunity. I can eat so many of them. Now I may prefer berries to chocolate, but that doesn’t mean I don’t have an almost equal love for chocolate. Oh, and when you put the two of them together……amazing! And if you involve ice cream and cookies in this delicious equation then you’re looking at a pretty…
