  • Cranberry And Apple-Cider Sorbet

    There are two interesting specifics to note about ice cream or in this case sorbet. The first being even though you are full from dinner there is always still room for sorbet and the second fact is even in the winter when we are chilled from the cold we can still enjoy a bowl of…

  • Zucchini Cobbler

    I skipped making zucchini soup to make zucchini cobbler all because I had some apples and lemons to use up. I was a little concerned with the amount of sugar and flour, a tidbit I did not notice until I was in the process of making the cobbler. Since we tend to eat dessert only…

  • Apple and Ice Cream Pie

    In many parts of the world September brings show tail signs that fall is close at hand. Here in the valley we will not feel the effects for another couple of months. I should have been born or at least moved to the northern east coast. I love the fall colors, the nippy air, basements…

  • Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies

    Banana chocolate chip cookies was Adelin’s pick for Kids Choice. The kids went nuts over them. I had to bag them up and hide them before they got little tummy aches from eating to many.
