In the best spirit of the Guessipe, I’ve found Pasta Bolognese to have some pretty interchangeable components… red or white onion, celery or fennel, red or white wine, canned tomatoes or tomato sauce, milk or heavy cream. It’s the long slow simmer that brings it all together. Traditionalists might balk at this, but try it…

Roasted Pistachio Ice Cream
I recently had a fantastic pistachio ice cream at a local Middle Eastern restaurant. Since then I found myself constantly thinking about pistachio ice cream, so I decided I better figure out how to make some. I searched around for some recipes to use as a starting point, but found that they all call for…
Mom’s Corn Muffins
I was invited to a Sunday Supper-themed potluck, where the main courses were going to be pot roast and roasted chicken. As I was pondering what side dish I could bring, I remembered my Mom’s Corn Muffins, a holiday gathering favorite. As I was making them, it occurred to me that I had never documented…
Key Lime Pie Cupcakes
I wanted to make a St. Patrick’s Day dessert, and my neighbor had just given me a bunch of limes from her tree. So I decided to make Key Lime Pie Cupcakes. To get that familiar key lime pie flavor I used sweetened condensed milk instead of sugar in both the cupcake batter and the…
Girl Scout Cookies n Cream Ice Cream
It’s Girl Scout Cookie season! I went to a party and ended up coming home with boxes of Do-Si-Dos, Thin Mints, and Trefoils. Having already consumed many cookies, I decided to use some of the cookies to make Girl Scout Cookie ice cream. Cookies n Cream is my favorite childhood ice cream, so what could…
Cheesy Butternut Squash Farro
A friend bought a ton of farro and then realized she had no idea what to do with it. I told her I was happy to experiment with the brown rice-like grain, and the next thing I knew she was giving all of it to me. I’d had it in salads/grain bowls before, but wanted…
Mushroom Leek Pie
I had such good results with the Yam Beef Biscuit Pot Pie and still had more canned biscuits to use up, so I decided another biscuit pot pie was in order… this time with mushrooms and leeks. I guess it’s a testament to the success of this Mushroom Leek Pie that after eating it my…
Passion Fruit Ice Cream
I’m thrilled it’s passion fruit season again, and thanks to this year’s heavy rains the vines in the neighborhood are heavy with fruit! So of course I had to tinker with an ice cream flavored with one of my favorite fruits. Many of the passion fruit ice creams I’ve tasted hardly had any passion fruit…
Peach Cheesecake Chunk Ice Cream
When my cheese guy gifted me two huge containers of ricotta, I immediately made 3 Ricotta Cheesecakes. They were pretty rapidly devoured, but that’s a lot of cheesecake, so luckily there were a couple leftover pieces. I’m always on the lookout for ice cream mix-ins, so I secreted the leftovers into the freezer for my…
Peanut Butter Chocolate Pretzel Ice Cream
I loved the idea of peanut butter-filled pretzels as an ice cream mix-in, but worried about the pretzels getting soggy. So I gave them a chocolate coating, which sealed out the moisture and gave them another layer of flavor. An additional swirl of peanut butter (because there’s no such thing as too much PB) and…
Cookies and Cream Ice Cream
As a kid, Cookies and Cream Ice Cream was my go-to flavor. As I’m still a kid at heart, I don’t know why it took me this long into my ice cream-making journey to get around to trying my hand at Cookies and Cream Ice Cream… especially since all I did was mix Oreo pieces…
Chocolate Almond Ice Cream with Peanut Swirl
I’ve been successful at mixing fun stuff into a vanilla ice cream base, so why not try a chocolate base? And what would I mix in? Chocolate-coated almonds and peanut butter! It is as good as it sounds. Guessipe Whisk the cream, milk, sugar, and cocoa powder together in a pot. Heat until the mixture…
