Where do you look for inspiration? For me, it’s often Pinterest. Two recipes recently caught my eye: honey ice cream, and a dairy-free ice cream made with coconut milk. I love using honey in my desserts whenever possible, and it works wonderfully as a sweetener and flavor-enhancer here. Both dairy-free and egg-free, a spoonful of ...

cinnamon chip, maple, & oatmeal cookies

October 15, 2012

On a recent evening, I found myself with nothing for dessert except a fresh tub of vanilla bean ice cream. As I searched the pantry for something to dress up my bowl of plain vanilla, I happened upon a bag of cinnamon chips and a bottle of maple syrup. I was two bites into my ...
