The Ice Cream Party

Ice cream bowls were also snack bowls and party favors along with the felt ice cream cones {ie, no paperware or cheesy goody bags}. Drinks for the mamas, snacks, and flowers from our yard. Yaya [...]

Vanilla Bean Ice Cream {Recipe}

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 [...]

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, [...]

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 [...]

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, [...]

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 [...]
