When I saw the fresh spinach in my CSA box this week, I knew that a soup was in my near future. I already had a lot of baby spinach in the house to use for smoothies, so I wanted something different this time. This soup was awesome in it’s simplicity. Less than 20 minutes from start to finish and dinner was served! My kids all ate this, my pickiest eater even requested seconds....

Homemade mint ice cream made with fresh mint is like no other mint chocolate ice cream you’ve tried in the past. It’s cold and creamy with perfect chocolate chunks and it has a softer, fresher mint flavor that just might blow your mind.

It is well-established fact that if you give me an idea I can probably turn it into homemade ice cream....

Soft scrambled eggs, tender oyster mushrooms, sweet caramelized onions and spicy garlic scapes became an instant favorite for breakfast. My husband and I both enjoyed this meal very much and we didn’t share a single bite with the kids. As I was writing this recipe, I realized that a few years ago, I had never laid eyes on the last three things in the title of this point. Well, technically, I had enjoyed caramelized onions many times, but I had never made them at home....

Ice Cream Cone Pie, yes, it’s officially a thing now. This is what happens when a box of ice cream sugar cones comes home from the grocery store with over half the cones broken. I opened the box to scoop ice cream into them for my boys and I was less than impressed. I told the boys we’d be waiting a day to eat our ice cream cones, because I had an even better idea....

I’m introducing you today to the creamy, garlicky white sauce that has completely floored me. Don’t let the cauliflower in the title scare you away. Seriously, this sauce is so fantastic; I made it for the first time and couldn’t stop eating it by the spoonful. (If I called this soup, would that sound less strange?)

I’m not sure I would have called myself a serious pickle fan before tasting this dip, but clearly I have become one....
