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, [...]

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 [...]

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

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’ [...]

food-related lovin’

by gidget food

My daughter has become quite the storyteller. Today we sat together over yogurt and “chatted”- mostly she just told me some nonsensical story full of very grown-up {and improperly used} phrases. It’s very cute. Speaking of yogurt, our new favorite snack is a little plain greek yogurt whipped up with a little all-fruit jam and/or [...]

Avogolemeno Soup

This soup was by request by my dad. His mom, my Yaya, used to make it. I had a couple of requests for the recipe when I mentioned making it on facebook a few weeks ago, so here it is… “Yaya” is Greek for grandmother (although I think it is actually spelled differently, this is [...]
