Earlier, I thought of making Blueberry Frozen Yogurt, but I ended up making Blueberry Ice Cream. It is vibrant, flavorful, and a great summer recipe.

Blueberries ice cream isn’t just delicious, it also has an amazingly beautiful color....
I’ve been working since the age of 14 and among all the jobs I’ve ever had (and there have been many) working as a barista at a local coffee shop is at the top of the list. Fueled by free coffee and shifts with friends, working there was FUN! That said, I was a horrible barista. Unsurprisingly, at 16 years old I was much better at making the shop’s signature, Triple-Cheese Grilled Cheese Croissant Sandwich (drool) then figuring out what amount of foam officially differentiates a latte from a cappuccino....
Can we talk about how excited I am to eat cookie dough after the little man arrives?

SO EXCITED! Our little boy is welcome to arrive any day and until that time I’m keeping a lid on my raw cookie dough cravings with Cherry-Almond Cookie Dough Oatmeal....

Last month my parents took my husband and me to a new place in town that has pickleball, arcade games, bocce ball, corn hole, and most importantly, a bar.

This establishment also has a huge food menu with tons of gluten free options, including a half sheet pan of nachos called a “Sheet Ton of Nachos”....

It’s the post you’ve all been waiting for — Gluten Free Cinnamon Rolls! If you have to eat gluten free then you know how badly it stinks (pardon my French) to miss out on special treats like warm, sweet cinnamon rolls, especially around the holidays.
