This was my contribution to Thanksgiving dinner with the In-laws. I couldn’t find a cinnamon ice cream recipe that was exactly what I wanted so I found a great-looking vanilla and ran with it to come up with my own.
This was the easiest ice cream I’ve made so far. And delicious. It was a great [...]

I used the recipe found at Amber’s Delectable Delights but I wasn’t very strict on measuring. The only problem was, [...]

I made these a few weeks ago when we had dinner with some friends. She was in charge of the chili (which was amazing, by the way) and I was in charge of the bread and dessert.
I don’t think I gave the rolls enough time to rise (I started too late. Oops.) So they were [...]

I told you I loved What’s Cooking in the Orange Kitchen! This is my 3rd update in a row from her blog
This pasta was heavy but fantastic. And incidentally, it made fantastic leftovers for lunch the next day too. I was a little heavy handed with the pepper flakes and cayenne pepper so [...]
