honey-almond ice cream

Oh, Honey Honey.

It's Wednesday...  I'm over here trying not to pull my hair out.  Somehow, my little apartment falls apart by midweek... every week.  Dirty dishes fill the sink, clothes are everywhere, overdue library books lurk in corners and under beds, smudges, finger prints, and toothpaste dot the mirrors, and a thick coat of dust has already managed to  settle across the house.  (I dust every stinkin' Saturday.)  Wednesday nights, I should buckle down and scourge my house.  But instead, I look the other way and eat a bowl of ice cream. With every bite, the tragedy that is my apartment seems less and less urgent.  By the time I'm scraping the bottom of the bowl, I don't even see the need to wash it. I just toss it into the sink to tackle tomorrow. 

But, seriously, this is such an elegant blend of salty and sweet... a subtle honey ice cream paired with salted, roasted almonds. It's possible that this is edible perfection and a very appropiate dessert for that first blush of spring. 

And, all you need to make this stuff is hand mixer.  No ice cream maker required.  I know.  Awesome sauce.  No, I'm not sorry I said that, but I probably will be tomorrow.

apple cider ice cream

Thanksgiving calls for pies... pies galore!  Apple pie, pumpkin pie, cranberry pie, pecan pie, chocolate pie! And pie calls for ice cream!  Rise up to that call with a batch of homemade apple cider ice cream. This is honestly one of the easiest and most delicious things I have ever made... in. my. life.  Please make it.  Make it right now!

homemade mango-strawberry ice cream

It is 100° outside today and it's barely even June.  Solution to a muggy summer? Ice cream.  Yes, ice cream. It is probably my favorite food, aside from burrito bowls.  I love almost any flavor, but I fell shamelessly in love with mango gelato in Rome.  It absolutely embodies summer... flip flops, sunscreen, lazy days... but I really haven't found anything like it in the states until I tried making it myself. This homemade ice cream can be whipped up in 15 minutes with a food processor, is relatively healthy, and is oh so delicious.
