Lighter Basic Coleslaw

I’ve never been a big fan of coleslaw, primarily because its usually swimming in mayonnaise. I actually used to hate mayo but its grown on me in moderation. Hubby on the other hand is definitely a fan so I try to accomodate his love of things like potato salad and coleslaw on occasion but try to minimize the [...]

Hot Dog Buns

99% of the time, homemade goodies beat store bought. I say 99% of the time because there are a few things that just can’t be replicated at home like Oreos, however tasty the homemade varieties may be, they’re just different. Bread though is always tastier when homemade. It’s been awhile since I’ve baked any bread and [...]

Homemade burger buns is one of those things that I never thought I’d make at home when I first started blogging (like pita bread). It just wasn’t on my radar at all. I know I have readers who are reading this post and thinking “yea right, I’m gonna make hamburger buns??” I know some of [...]

I recently took a quickie poll on Facebook to see what kind of ice cream y’all would most be interested in me making and Chocolate Peanut Butter won out, followed by Strawberry Cheesecake ice cream. That recipe/post will come another day. For now, lets talk chocolate peanut buttery goodness. I love chocolate. Love, love, love. [...]

Its that time of year! Zucchini overload! We don’t have any zucchini planted but our friends/neighbors do and we’ve already gotten a few good large zucchinis from them. So of course I whipped up some Zucchini bread! I love love love zucchini bread. I can still remember the first time my mom made zucchini bread [...]

I seriously love me some good Mexican food. Chinese takes first place in my heart since I’m half Chinese after all, but Mexican takes a close second. We eat Mexican food all the time; its a weekly staple in our house which also means that fresh salsa is also a staple. My usual go to [...]

I love summer time grilling. Quick, easy and delicious dinners in a matter of minutes. I frequently marinade chicken after dinner for the next day so when I get home from work, all I need to do is fix up some veggies to toss on the grill along with the already prepped chicken. Its fabulously [...]

I’m not sure how May snuck up on me; time really does go faster as you get older. Speaking of getting older, May means birthdays for both hubby and I  Which means I need to start experimenting with some cake recipes! I rarely make cake but our birthdays give me a good excuse to experiment [...]

It’s not quite summer yet, but I was ready to bust out the ice cream machine! The temps are already reaching the 80s after all. I love making homemade ice cream but I’ve done little of that the last few years, as I can’t seem to pull of lower fat ice cream. Anyone have a [...]

I had the intention of making this for new year’s. Unfortunately, getting sick for a week totally threw off my plans. As well as my plans of updating the blog daily while I was at home on vacation for a week. Being sick was definitely not in the plans! I figure it was God’s way [...]

Its summer time. I’ve been craving ice cream daily. I tried making a batch of frozen yogurt but the first attempt was not sweet enough and was too yogurt-y. I’ll give it a few more tries and hopefully be back with a winning Fro Yo recipe. For now though, I figured I’d stick with sorbet. [...]

Its not quite fall here in Texas, so ice cream and sorbet still sound like delicious treats. I never did get around to trying out a sorbet recipe this summer, so I figured I ought to get busy now before the weather actually does start cooling down. Now most of the recipes I found for [...]

I had a whole pineapple in the fridge that i haven’t used and its on the verge of going out so I knew I needed to eat it tonight. Decided I’d spice it up a bit and grill it to eat with some of the homemade ice cream that’s still in the fridge. I came [...]

Dark Chocolate Ice Cream

9 June 2007

Dark Chocolate Ice Cream is BY far my favorite ice cream. I love dark chocolate anything. This is the first recipe we’ve tried for dark chocolate and it was really good! We served this at a friend’s house when asked to bring dessert. Our friend had THREE bowls of it and at least once with [...]
