    ICECREAM -150 PX SQUARE

    No matter how much chocolate milk I buy, it will all be consumed that same night. I have conducted studies. This is a true fact. And it’s not me drinking it, it’s Kyle. Sometimes I buy an individual pints. Sometimes 2 or 3.  And once I bought a half gallon and yes, the next morning it was laying on top of the trash in the kitchen, completely empty.

    I don’t know if he even knows what he is doing past a certain time. He goes to sleep much later than I do, and makes his trip from the couch to the bed around 4am, and usually stops by the fridge for a sweet snack at this time. If you have ever seen Step Brothers, this is what I imagine it looking like in my kitchen every night. But no matter how much chocolate milk I buy, he drinks it around this time.

    I have a list. Can we go over it? Just 3 things.

    Don’t worry, the third point is a delicious recipe. I save the best for last.

    1. I did not post a Saturday Stills this past Saturday. Sorry about that. Life has been crazy. But I will make it up to you next week with a post full of fresh, hip and happening pictures. Or something like that! But if you need a fix, here are my Lady Gaga pictures, one more time! Read More | Comments

    Lemon Ice Cream - 150px Square

    Remember a few months ago? When everything was brown. When you were cold. When the food blogs were filled with pumpkin?

    It’s the opposite of that now. Now everything is colorful and warm. Bright and happy. Full of citrus, which I love.

    Seasons are so well represented on food blogs. I could be in a coma, wake up, go to my favorite food blog and know instantly what season we are in (though if that were to happen, it may just be easier to ask someone what the date it.)

    I have been longing for an ultra creamy, decadent, melt in your mouth, I shouldn’t be eating this kind of ice cream. In August I made a Cheesecake Ice Cream with Blueberry Lime Swirl, and it was one of the creamiest, most delicious ice creams I have ever made. I wanted to recreate the cheesecake ice cream but add a more seasonally appropriate swirl.

    That’s where the chocolate and peppermint come in. Read More | Comments

    I heard once that ice cream sales are higher in the winter than they are in the summer. Not sure if it is true, but I have probably retold that statement to at least 10 people when discussing ice cream.

    It makes sense. In the winter you relax inside, cuddle on the couch with a blanket, and eat comfort food. For me ice cream is comforting. So it makes sense…. right? Read More | Comments

    While summer may be close to an end in some parts of the country, its still going strong in Dallas. It is normally around Halloween time that it becomes nice outside. I have memories of trick or treating as a kid and some years it would be humid and hot, while some years it would be windy and chilly. I hope this year its the latter.

    Our summer season may be long…
    but that means our ice cream season is long too! Read More | Comments

    watermelon - 150 px square

    Now this is a little embarrassing, but there are some flavors I prefer artificially. (For example, Runts candy. How do they make the banana flavor taste so good?)

    But Watermelon is a better example, because I dislike the fruit but love the flavor. To me, watermelon tastes like water with a crunch. I don’t know, maybe its a texture thing? I just don’t really like it. But I love the flavor.

    I am never one to say no to food (duh), so when my Mom offered me a watermelon the other day, I took it of course! Read More | Comments

    I had my first ever ‘photo shoot’ the other day! My friend Heather is a great photographer and I needed a few pictures for the Food Network casting on Friday. I didn’t really have any good pictures of myself and Heather got a new piece of equipment she wanted to test, so it worked out well for the both of us!

    Well, except that we took the pictures in an empty apartment..
    that had no running electricity..
    between 2 – 4pm…

    banana - 150 px square

    Well readers I have reached the 50 pounds lost mark. I began living a more healthy life January 1st (I took my resolution serious this year). All I have to say is anything is possible when you cut meat from your diet and exercise everyday. But I feel like I need to add: results not typical. I have always been able to lose weight quickly. It is the maintaining part that I have always had trouble with but I feel like I have really changed my life, eating and cooking habits (and being introduced to food blogs and so many healthy ingredients and recipes has helped tremendously).
