This is the best ice cream I’ve ever made. Yes, even better than the strawberry basil ice cream from this summer. If you love caramel apples, you’re definitely going to want to make this!
Wishbone Kitchen’s Ricotta with Hot Honey & Fried Garlic
I FINALLY made this ricotta dip from Wishbone Kitchen, and it is incredible. If you love garlic, you are sure to love this! It is so quick and easy to make. But beware - after frying the garlic, my whole little studio apartment smells like garlic.
A Dark and Secret Magic by Wallis Kinney
This was such a cute story and absolutely perfect for starting spooky season. The characters were great, and I loved that I didn’t know where the story was going to take me. The ending was satisfying, and I especially loved that the author included recipes from the story in the back of the book.
Peach Ice Cream
I love peach season! I'm lucky enough to have a peach tree in my yard, so all I have to do is open my door and grab a plump peach for a little snack. When I made this ice cream, the peaches I had picked and waiting weren't quite ripe yet, so I did grab 5 from the farmers market. By the time I was chopping up all the peaches, I was able to use two small ones from my tree. The peach lady at the farmers market told me that you can keep the peaches in a paper bag with a banana to speed up the ripening process - and it works!
Book Review: Life's Too Short by Abby Jimenez
I really enjoyed this book. The story was touching, funny, and heartfelt. I loved the mix of romance and family dynamics, and the characters felt genuine and relatable. Vanessa’s journey balancing unexpected parenthood with her adventurous spirit made for a story that was both entertaining and emotional. This is the third book in the Friend Zone series.
The Best Caesar Salad
A few months ago my best friend’s fiancé turned me on to sardines. I always knew they were in Caesar dressing, but I had never eaten a whole one before. After that, when I was at the coast for my birthday, I stopped at the fishmonger before heading home and picked up a nice can of sardines along with some clams, and prawns. Right away, I knew I wanted to make my own homemade Caesar dressing with them. And of course if you’re making homemade Caesar dressing, you have to make homemade croutons.
Acker Rock Lookout
After over five years of trying to book this lookout, it finally happened. I stayed for two nights, and it was a wonderful experience. Perched atop a rocky cliff in the Umpqua National Forest, Acker Rock Lookout offers spectacular panoramic views of the South Umpqua watershed in southwest Oregon. The lookout is still used for active fire detection today, and it was originally placed on the cliff by helicopter in the 1960s. Back then, there were more than a dozen lookouts on the Tiller Ranger District, but today only Acker Rock and Pickett Butte remain.
