Pumpkin Pie Milkshakes – everything you love about pumpkin pie in a milkshake! Sweet pumpkin milkshake with cinnamon and topped with whipped cream and gingersnap cookies.

Okay listen, I know it’s only August and I’m not supposed to be sharing pumpkin recipes but y’all, are there even rules about this stuff in 2020?

Let me have pumpkin in August.

And yes, I did go to Bath & Body Works and buy 6 Leaves candles the other day during their sale. And yes, I am already burning them. (Sorry boyfriend.)

I am just so ready for fall. I’m usually a summer person but this summer is just so hot since we can’t really go to the pool or the lake or any of the places we usually go. I need fall.

This is a really old recipe that we make every year and if you love pumpkin pie as much as I do, this is the perfect way to cool down in this heat!

Homemade Watermelon Sherbet

Jun 14, 2020

Homemade Watermelon Sherbet – easy 4 ingredient watermelon sherbet with fresh watermelon puree and mini chocolate chips.

I have always claimed that I don’t like sherbet (I’m just not a fruit dessert person) until I started making my own. My Homemade Orange Sherbet made me love sherbet. I loved it so much that I started making Strawberry Sherbet, too.

This Watermelon Sherbet is my first sherbet of the summer and I’m in love. I got the sweetest, juiciest mini watermelon at Trader Joe’s the other day and it made the most perfect sherbet.

It’s made with only a few simple ingredients that you probably (almost definitely) already have on hands, plus mini chocolate chips to look like watermelon seeds.

King Cake Ice Cream

Feb 12, 2020

King Cake Ice Cream – it’s Mardi Gras, y’all! Cream cheese ice cream with king cake pieces and sprinkles mixed in.

It’s my favorite time of year!

Mardi Gras will forever be my favorite holiday. Who doesn’t love a giant party where moonpies get thrown at you?! Plus king cake?! And beads?! There’s just no better holiday.

I always make a bunch of king cakes during the season and then I always end up trying to come up with fun recipes using them, like my King Cake Bread Pudding.

I love this King Cake Ice Cream almost as much as I love Mardi Gras. It’s a cream cheese ice cream with diced king cake pieces mixed in and layers of sprinkles.

Homemade Strawberry Sherbet

Jul 17, 2019

Homemade Strawberry Sherbet – you will never buy store-bought sherbet after trying this recipe! Sweet, creamy, and the perfect summer treat. So easy and only 4 ingredients!

Hi guys!

One of my most popular (and personal favorite!) recipes on my blog is my Homemade Orange Sherbet. It tastes just like those Flintstones push pops that I loved so much as a kid. Plus it is super easy and uses all ingredients you probably already have!

I remade it a few weeks ago and we went through it in a day so then the next day I made this strawberry version because it would be a shame to go a night without sherbet in the summer!

It’s cold and creamy with just the right amount of sweetness. And only 4 ingredients! You are seriously going to love this one.

Ginger Peach Ice Cream

Aug 07, 2018

Ginger Peach Ice Cream – creamy ice cream with fresh peaches, ginger, and chopped gingersnap cookies!

I had the worst cold last month.

It lasted for weeks, I had to sleep sitting up, and I went through more cold medicine than I’ve taken in my entire life.

It was awful.

Anyway, I was taking Nyquil so that I wouldn’t cough my lungs up all night and Nyquil always makes me have really crazy, vivid dreams.

The kind of dreams where you wake up mad at your boyfriend because of something he did in your dreams and then you start an actual argument with him over it.

You know?

Well one of those dreams was about peach ice cream and I’ve been thinking about peach ice cream ever since.

S’mores Frozen Yogurt

Aug 07, 2017

S’mores Frozen Yogurt – your new favorite summer treat! It starts with regular vanilla yogurt and turns into the most delicious s’mores froyo with a fudge swirl, graham crackers, and mini marshmallows.

YOU. GUYS.

It’s S’mores Week!

My faaaaave week of the entire year!

Nicole and I have been doing this for 5 years now. Five years.

That’s a lot of s’mores.

Somehow we’re not sick of them yet. I’m still making stovetop s’mores in the middle of the night most days of the week. If someone has s’mores anything on the menu, I’m 100% going for it. Still obsessed with s’mores.

We probably should’ve gotten matching s’mores tattoos instead of pineapples.

Heeeey guys!

We’ve officially reached that point in summer when people are complaing about how hot it is and wishing for fall.

Also? I saw pumpkin stuff at the grocery store.

Pumpkin. In July.

Anyway, we’ve had to move our lake trips from midday to evening because, Texas.

It’s hot, y’all.

We even tried to hike last weekend and I thought that since it was mostly shaded, we’d be fine. No. We sat in the stream for an hour and then went for burgers.

This means that it’s officially frozen drink season.

Summer means a couple things for my kids.

One: they’re stuck going on all my weird adventures. If I need to drive an hour for something for a blog post, they’re all going with me and we’re stopping at a taco place, a beach, whatever happens to be in my Yelp bookmarks on the way.

They’re already over it.

And two: all their friends move. Every summer, man. Every summer all their friends move. #armylife

It’s rough. My oldest always has a great group of friends at the end of the school year and then they leave and he’s bored.

So last year when it happened I get him his first phone. And this year I decided to upgrade the phone and his plan to make it easier for him to keep up with his friends.

And also to keep him entertained when I impulsively decide to drive across the state of Texas for perfect chips and queso.

Birthday Cake Pudding Pops

May 16, 2017

Birthday Cake Pudding Pops – creamy vanilla pudding pops with crushed cookies and sprinkles! The perfect way to cool down in the summer!

You guys.

I think I love Texas.

I never thought I’d love anything as much as I love the mountains in Colorado buuuuut I’m super into Texas right now.

I finally took the top off the Jeep this morning.

Which means in exactly 2 1/2 days it will rain and I will need someone to help me put the top back on the Jeep.

Look.

I am tiny and it is heavy.

I don’t need your judgment.

Homemade Orange Sherbet

Apr 18, 2017

Homemade Orange Sherbet – you will never want store-bought orange sherbet again after trying this recipe! So simple and so delicious! Only 5 ingredients.

Hey, y’all!

Do you guys remember the Flintstones Push Pops?

I just had to google them to make sure I didn’t make them up. But I have these weird memories that only kind of make sense of staying with my kindergarten teacher in the summers (she had a pool!) and we’d walk to the gas station close to her house for a treat on Fridays and I’d always go for the Flintstones Push Pops.

Or candy cigarettes. The 90’s were weird, man.

Do you have memories like that? Where you wonder if you made it all up? I was so young but I have all sorts of fuzzy memories like sitting in her kitchen and listening to the rain on their tin roof while she made fried chicken.

Anyyyyyway, this Orange Sherbet made me think of those Flintstones Push Pops. If strawberry is more your thing, I have a Homemade Strawberry Sherbet that you will love!

Pistachio Ice Cream with Chocolate Chunks

Apr 07, 2017

Hiii guys, we made it through another week. I made ice cream to celebrate.

You were expecting a cocktail?

Yeah, I know.

My life’s been weird this last month and I’m so out of this whole blogging routine right now. I have, however, made 3 kinds of ice cream in the past week so… let’s just just go with it.

Next week I’ll make a cocktail. Promise.

In the meantime, I made that grapefruit ginger bourbon sour from last year the other night and it was just as delicious as I remembered. So if you are looking for a drink idea today, use that one!

S’mores Frozen Hot Chocolate

Aug 10, 2016

Happy 3rd day of #SmoresWeek!

This one may be my favorite.

Except really, they’re all my favorite.

I can’t choose. You can’t make me.

But I really, really, really like this one.

Have you ever had a frozen hot chocolate? They are uhhhh-mazing and don’t even start with the, “Isn’t that just a chocolate shake?”

NO.

I used to think so, too, and then I tried one. It’s a hot chocolate. But frozen. And it will change your life.

Raspberry-Peach Bellini Popsicles

Jun 28, 2016

Okay, guys.

It’s that time of year.

Big Brother has officially started.

Tell me you’re watching. Or we may not be able to be friends for the rest of the summer.

It always takes me a few weeks to get really, really, really into it so I’m not obsessively watching the feeds or annoying cashiers with Big Brother talk. But don’t worry, it will happen.

Who do you like?

I like Tiffany. I like Da’Vonne. I like James. And I like Paulie’s abs.
