by gidget ice cream

A few months ago, a friend on facebook asked for a vanilla ice cream recipe and I realized, with all the ice cream I’ve made, I’ve never made a plain vanilla. I have a go-to vanilla recipe that I’ve used as a base for other flavors, but hadn’t made it by itself yet. Maybe that’s [...]

Cups Cooking Extravaganza!

by gidget food

One of the really fun things I got to do this fall was take a cooking class at a really cool local San Diego place called Cups– an organic cupcake eatery in La Jolla with a full, state-of-the-art kitchen classroom in the back.

Mexican Spiced Chocolate Ice Cream

by gidget ice cream

I figure to be as authentic as possible, I have to share my kitchen successes as well as my not-so-successful ventures. This Mexican Chocolate Ice Cream didn’t come out quite as I would have liked it. I was combining recipes and something went awry. But, have no fear, if this flavor sounds delicious to you, [...]

Tomato Love

by gidget food

I am so thankful to have family in the shipping industry. Once, my aunt and uncle sent us an amazing Trader Joe’s care package (on dry ice no less) back when we lived in the TJ’s-starved region of Colorado. Now, they’ve gone over and above by FedExing us… a box of bounty from my uncle’s [...]
