Cherry Cookies and Cream Ice Cream

We wanted to make some ice cream, but couldn't find a recipe that we liked.  After poking around for a while, I finally just decided to try some random ingredients that sounded good.  Boy, that was the right decision.

Be sure to make the fudge sauce to go on top!

Yield: 10-12 two-scoop servings

Fudge Sauce

Yes, this is the fudge sauce recipe you've been looking for.  It pours on smooth, has a creamy texture, and will freeze almost solid on the cold ice cream.

Yield: 4-5 cups

Baked Honey Sriracha Chicken Drumsticks

This is very easy to toss together and makes a ton of chicken.  You can easily scale-up or -down the yield by prepping more or less chicken.

Yield: 8 servings, 2 drumsticks per serving

Chocolate-Coconut Ice Cream

Nothing beats homemade ice cream on a warm summer evening.  You'll fall in love with this creamy, chocolaty dessert.

Yield: 10-12 two-scoop servings

Grilled Pork Chops with Arugula Noodles

I was feeling a little adventurous this weekend and decided to experiment a bit.  It's not everyday that you decide to turn vegetables into noodles, and we were quite happy with the outcome.

We did 100% arugula in the noodles.  Next time we'll do a 50/50 split between arugula and spinach to soften the taste a bit.

Yield: 6 servings

Lime, Coconut, Avocado Gelato

Don't be turned off by the odd ingredients: the avocado brings a rich creaminess that fits perfectly with gelato.

Yield: 10-12 two-scoop servings

Garlic Parmesan Zucchini Casserole

Yield: 8 servings

Honey Sriracha Chicken Pizza

The sauce on this chicken is amazing.  Probably my new favorite pizza.

Yield: 1 12-inch pizza

Peach Balsamic Ice Cream

Right now you're thinking, "vinegar, in ice cream?!  Really?"  Yes, really.  The balsamic will bring out the flavor of the peaches and really make them pop.  A few people have tried this and everyone agreed that it was great.

Have a little faith.

Yield: 8-10 servings (2 scoops per serving)

Stuffed Pork Loin

If you're looking for one of the best pork dishes you've ever eaten, then look no further.  This is one of the most tender, moist pork roasts I've ever eaten.  And the cherries give the stuffing a great flavor.  Well worth the prep time.

Yield: 12-14 servings

Sesame Seed Cookies

These cookies have just the slightest hint of anise, perfectly complementing the sesame & butter taste.

Yield: 34 cookies

Nectarine Pizza

The strong balsamic flavor is a good counterpoint to the sweetness of toasted nectarines.

Yield: 1 12-inch pizza

Garden Vegetable Frittata

This is a hearty, satisfying dish that fits equally well for dinner as it does for breakfast.

Yield: 10 servings

Raspberry Sorbet

Strong, tangy raspberry flavor gives this sorbet a potent taste that can be eaten by itself or alongside another dessert.

Yield: 8-10 servings (2 scoops per serving)

Fondant Potatoes

This is our new favorite way to prepare potatoes.  The hard, crusty top is juxtaposed by the soft, tender middle.  And the thyme imparts just enough aroma to get your mouth watering while it cooks.

Yield: 3 servings, 2 potatoes per serving
