Matcha Ice Cream
I had some matcha in the cupboard left from some house guests and I decided to use it up! Why not make some matcha ice-cream. For those of you who are unfamiliar with matcha, it is a green tea powder. I also decided to pair this ice-cream with crystallized ginger. I was never really a fan of ginger, but I gained an appreciation for it this past summer. I love the spiciness of it as well as its potency, and hey its healthy for you right… until you add loads of sugar to it, but it’s the thought that counts! Crystalized ginger: The crystallized ginger can be bought in the…

Sugar Cookies are Art Too
I’ve always admired those who can turn a sugar cookie into a piece of art. So yesterday I decided to try my hand at it. My problem is I love art, but not as much as I love the idea of instant gratification; meaning I’m SUPER impatient. With this recipe after you have baked your cookies and cooled them you make your royal icing and your flood icing (watered down royal icing) that will spread onto the cookie to create a nice clean canvas for decorating. Use your regular icing to make a border around your cookie so that your flood icing does not drip onto the sides. Let this harden…

Chocolate Banana Bread Pudding
My mother is notorious for buying extra bread that no one will ever eat and then putting it in the freezer with the hopes that maybe someday someone will use it. And I would have to say that I’m guilty of putting over ripe bananas in the freezer repeatedly saying that eventually I will make banana bread out of them. Guess you could say it runs in the family. With that being said I decided to make an out of the box bread pudding the other day! It was a banana chocolate chip chocolate liquor banana bread, and it was out of this world! Ingredients: 3 eggs 3/4 cups of…

Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies
I have been using the same chocolate chip cookie recipe for years. Maybe seven to be exact. I use the one that is on the back of the Hersey’s chocolate chip bag, but don’t think that’s the magic behind my cookies, I have made many adaptations over the years. I originally started out with semi sweet chips, and then I moved on to milk chocolate. I also used to add a bit of lemon juice with the belief that they made my cookies softer. Today I have decided to take a different reproach. I wanted cookies with more of a brown sugar taste, so I did just that! I substituted…
