    Roasted Cherry & Pistachio Chocolate Chunk Ice Cream

    Wanna know a secret? I could live without ice cream.  I know, right?  That’s like blasphemy or something.  It’s just wrong to not love ice cream.  But here I am, and I don’t love it.  I do however seriously enjoy homemade ice cream.  I’ve had fun coming up with flavors that both The Stud Muffin and I like.  TSM loves ice cream.  The man has never met a bowl of ice cream that he didn’t like.   When I told him he couldn’t have any of this ice cream until I had a chance to take photos I thought the poor man was going to pass out.  It’s not nice to deny The Stud…

    Food Hippie Granola

      I love granola.  My mom used to buy the Heartland brand of granola (cereal) when we were kids.  I remember it had very plump raisins and the trick was to hurry up and eat it as quickly as you could before it sucked up all your milk.  It’s been a long time since I’ve had a bowl of that granola.  I actually thought the company went out of business years ago because boxes of Quaker, Sunbelt and Kellogg’s granola monopolized every cereal shelf in every grocery store where I shopped.   Then one day, whilst perusing the ‘take out a second mortgage to shop here’ aisles, I noticed that Heartland was still making granola…

    Macadamia & White Chocolate Cookies

    There are only 3 reasons that I can think of why White Chocolate exists.  The first reason is to be baked into a cookie.  Any cookie. It doesn’t really matter; white chocolate tastes good in cookies.  The second reason is as a coating for pretzels.  I love white chocolate covered pretzels and prior to going all Food Hippie and striving to eliminate processed foods from my diet, I used to eat pretzels covered in white chocolate.  Great. Now I want pretzels.

    My First (recipe) Mistake (aka 7-Layer Bars)

    Well Food Posse Peeps, I finally did it- I made my first mistake this evening while putting together a pan of 7-Layer Bars to share with y’all.  The good news, they taste perfectly fine.  The bad news- they’re not very stable, don’t hold their shape, are very gooey AND  (whispers) they’re ugly.
