A Sunday Treat

by gidget ice cream

Homemade double chocolate peanut butter ice cream with homemade whipped cream? Yes, please. I used half the sugar and substituted brown rice syrup for the other half (mostly because I ran out of sugar, but this seemed like a good “healthy” alternative sweetener to use, too). mmmm, chocolate swirls… my trusty ice cream helper sneaking [...]

Silver and Gold, Vol. I

by gidget writing & blogging
