A Summery Sunday Treat

by gidget food

We’ve finally been having some summer weather around here! “Sunny San Diego” is known for its May Gray and June Gloom, but the pesky marine layer has persisted through most of July as well, here on the coast. I’m sure hoping for a hot, sunny August. For me, warm weather is the best. I get [...]

Pineapple-Basil Chicken Salad and Roasted Squash & Gouda Soup

by gidget food

This recipe is by no means an exact science, but I love how these two dishes cook up together nicely. The soup is based on one we had at our CSA’s farm visit day, and the salad is a variation of one I saw in Everyday Food magazine. What I love best is how you [...]

Chocolate Ice Cream… With Real California Milk

by gidget family

I’m really excited and thankful for the opportunity to be celebrating National Ice Cream Month (!!!) here on Gidget Goes Home. The California Milk Advisory Board chose me to blog about the fun family ritual of making homemade ice cream. My loyal readers all know how much I love homemade ice cream! I’ve been searching [...]

Sunday Treat: Blueberry Honey Homemade Ice Cream

by gidget ice cream

My first batch didn’t come out so good. It was flaky and didn’t have a very creamy texture, even though it tasted creamy, which was weird. But this version shouldn’t disappoint. I went for the classic custard-style ice cream, because I’ve had better results with it in the past and it paid off. Since then, [...]

A Father’s Day Sunday Treat: Banana Nut Pancakes with Berry Syrup

We’ll be heading out for cinnamon rolls today (daddy’s choice), but if the dad in your family likes pancakes, these are sure to bless him. We make a lot of pancakes around here and these are probably our current fave. I’m so thankful for an amazing father and a husband who is an awesome daddy [...]

Blueberry Honey Ice Cream? Not Quite Yet.

by gidget ice cream

Facebook friends will know that I was hoping to have a recipe for you yesterday. I tried. I think the truth is, I’m not quite up to creating my own recipe yet. At least not on the first try. It started out fab… but turned out a little… icy… flaky almost. The batter never quite [...]

Gettin’ a Little Homemade

by gidget food

What’s going on in the Gidget household, you ask? Both kids are quiet for one thing (have I mentioned what a lifesaver LeapPad is?) after a not-so-pleasant grocery run. We did have a lovely morning at our new favorite place, though, the San Diego Botanical Garden. Oh, and the photo above is from our blueberry [...]

A Sunday Treat

by gidget food

When my family planned a birthday get-together for my brother last weekend, I just couldn’t decide which dessert to make. So I made three of them. We had a little Strawberry Buttermilk Ice Cream again for one. Yum. My first attempts at a non-pumpkin pie (and a homemade crust), started out as a big ol’ [...]

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 [...]
