Sweet Corn Ice Cream I know that the sound of sweet corn ice cream might bring on some doubts and even some funny faces. If there's anything I have learned about super bizarre sounding food on really great restaurant menus is that it's going to taste insanely amazing. I tried this at a once restaurant here in downtown West Palm Beach, called Le Jardin. It was an eclectic restaurant meant for adventurous palates. Since they closed down I was left sad that I may never be able to indulge in this t...

Triple Threat Brownies I have never been as big into brownies as my husband. He's helped me develop an appreciation for brownies. We started out with boxed brownies, not that there's anything wrong with that. My love for baking is strong so I always find a from-scratch recipe that is much better than anything boxed. I own Williams-Sonoma's Dessert of the Day and I have taken this recipe from the book and added some ingredients to make more in a rectangular pan, as opposed to a square 8 inch pan...

We tried the strawberry-rhubarb crisp there for the first time and surely it was love at fir...

Air Fried Arancini Rice Balls Air Fried Arancini Rice Balls, I never thought I'd hear such a phrase in my life. I've made arancini before and even though there are many healthier ways to eat them, frying them yields the best flavor. I'm relatively new to air frying as I have recently purchased the new Breville Smart Oven Air. I love this oven so far with it's 13 options that include but are not limited to toast, pizza, proof, bake, roast, air fry, dehydrate (great for making your own chips). ...

Chips Ahoy had "Sprinkled" cookies, the happy little box of these said sprinkles cookies and before leaving for vacation my mom would make sure she picked up a few of them to keep my niece and I happy while on vacation. It was nothing short of divinity, enjoying these cookies after being in the pool and beach all ...

Churros Churros. The utterance of the word, makes hearts melt and mouths salivate. I tried my first churro in my youth. All of eleven years old, just started middle school, and my aunt's sister, Esther, had her own churro truck on the corner of my school. I begged my mother to take me for some nearly everyday and of course more often than not, she would succumb to my pleas. These churros have seriously been the number one chart topper of all churros I've consumed in my entire life so I dedic...
