Cinnamon Sugar Pumpkin Dots

“Pumpkin Everythang”

Yum, Yum, Yum it’s like a little teeny tiny cinnamon sugar pumpkin doughnut. It’s crispy, it’s crunchy it’s delicious. I was super lazy from making three pumpkin recipes back to back and I needed a quick (and I stress the word QUICK) recipe that I could film and photograph so I could leave the kitchen. This was the idea that popped into my head. What quicker than frying? And what’s better than cinnamon sugar?

Oreo vanilla Mint

Call me the Dairy Queen 

It’s Friday and FINALLY, the end of ice-cream month. This has been the longest month of my life and if I never see a box of heavy cream for the next 6 months I’ll be just fine. Today we have a super delicious creamy, perfect scoop of mint, cream and cookies. Its cookie and cream 2.0

Banana Rum Ice-cream

Call me the Dairy Queen 

A banana ice-cream generally wouldn’t be high up on my list. Any time we have over ripe bananas we opt for delicious and moist banana bread. However this ice-cream has made me realize that we might have to start making an exception to that rule. I’m not a huge fan of bananas but I loved this ice-cream. If you love bananas this may be the ice-cream you need to try. Its rich and creamy bursting with banana flavor with hints of rum undertones.

Jackfruit Grapenut Ice-cream

Call me the Dairy Queen

This very large tropical fruit is now a delicious creamy ice-cream bursting with jackfruit flavor and filled with crunchy grape-nuts for added texture. Just opening the quart container, the smell of the jackfruit hits you as if you were eating the raw fruit. The fruit has been perfectly captured in this ice-cream.

Toasted Hazelnut Coffee and Nutella ice cream

Call me the Dairy Queen

Today’s dessert is nutty, creamy sweet and delicious. It’s almost impossible to go into an ice-cream shop and not see a coffee flavored ice-cream. So I decided that us home cooks should have one in our arsenal as well. And this recipe is even better than the ones in the parlor because its jam packed with toasted hazelnuts and Nutella. As if coffee ice-cream needed to get any more awesome than it already is!

Honey roasted pistachio matcha ice-cream

Call me the Dairy Queen

Honey Roasted Pistachios, crunchy and delicious in some sweet creamy smooth matcha green tea ice-cream. This ice-cream brings back childhood memories of summers spent in NY and several trips made the Ice-cream Factory to fill my face with pistachio grape-nut ice-cream; Creamy sweet crunchy perfection.

Maple Bacon Ice-cream

Call me the Dairy Queen

Maple syrup, milk, bacon, cream cheese; this ingredient list would make anyone think your cooking up breakfast. But you’re all the way at the other end of the spectrum making a deliciously sweet and salty dessert.

Strawberry Cheesecake Ice-cream

Call me the Dairy Queen

This ice-cream will be the hit will all the cheesecake lovers out there. Unfortunately I am not one of them. I could never wrap my head around eating a large chunk of cheese and butter. I generally peel off the crust and eat that with a little strawberry topping. However as a cheesecake hater I will say this ice-cream is quite good.  The consensus from everyone who has tasted it is that it tastes exactly like cheesecake. I think it taste better.

Cotton candy ice cream with ginger snap cookie

Call me the Dairy Queen

I have several favorite ice-cream flavors and cotton candy is among the top three. This ice-cream takes you back to your childhood. One of the most nostalgic ice-cream flavors comes to your kitchen with a little new addition of the crunchy ginger snap cookies.

Butter popcorn ice-cream with caramel and cracker-jack

Call me the Dairy Queen

This month is National Ice-cream Month in the US and it’s still “summa summa summa timeeee”, so I decided a month of delicious, unique and extravagant ice-creams are in order. Today I present to you the most delicious ice-cream I have ever made to date. (I still have 8 more to go for the month so that may change) It’s so creamy and buttery, taste exactly like butter popcorn with the addition of cracker jacks and caramel makes it even more perfect!

Not your average Churros

Easy Bake!

This post is a lesson in determination. I have always wanted to make churros. From the first time I ever had them at Costco, it was love at first bite. The crunchy sweet cinnamon sticks with that super soft inside. Churros are actually very simple to make and the ingredient list has a grand total of 5 ingredients. All you need is the dough, hot oil and you’re good to go.....I know they are not baked, but they are easy

Pear oatmeal crumble

Easy Bake!

I know I said this was easy bake month, and while this recipe has a little bit more than  5 ingredients and took a little longer than 30 minutes, its still just as easy as can be. I think pears are the most amazing fruit to have warmed. Their flavor is perfect with cinnamon, sugar and butter. Not to mention the texture of the pear itself very velvety, I’ve always said I much prefer pears to apples, and this recipe is a shining example of why.

Chocolate Banana Fritters

 "Feast of Saint Valentine"

I will say that this month of chocolate recipes have truly tested my recipe imagination skills. I find the month were I focus on one ingredient, making the recipes versatile tend to be quite a challenge.  So far using chocolate I’ve made french toast, orange hot chocolate, ribs, a milk shake and now fritters. Cocoa and banana yes, please and thank you.

Chocolate French Toast for two

"Feast of Saint Valentine"


Now it’s only January 3^rd, but tell me what’s the décor in your local pharmacy or gift shop? What’s stocked on all shelves right now? Are you noticing pink red and white everywhere? That can only mean one thing, Valentine’s Day. I figure you may be in the market for some chocolate gifts between now and February 14^th so all the recipes this month will include chocolate as the main ingredient.  To start things off right let’s get to the best meal of the day; breakfast. This Jamaican holsum hard dough bread has been elevated to new height of awesome deliciousness. I think if your significant other loves chocolate, you’re sure to snag a proposal shortly after serving them this French toast.
