Gingered Carrot Ice Cream

Gingered Carrot Ice Cream

S.O. and I had the loveliest time dining at our friend Lynn’s last week. Lynn just loves to “put on the dog” when it comes to fixing a good meal. Back in the day, she worked at a junior high school as a Home Economics teacher. So preparing […]

Freeze Bacon in Single Servings

Freeze Bacon in Single Servings

It’s Zippy Tip Tuesday!

As tempting as it may be to devour an entire pound of bacon in one setting, there are times when we want to freeze some for later.

Blueberry Sweet Corn Ice Cream

I entertained a lovely group of nice young ladies (grades 5-9) at a fine arts camp this week, and at the end of my presentation, one of them asked how long it takes me to compose a piece of music.

As a kid, I was not a rhubarb fan.

It’s Zippy Tip Tuesday!

As I mentioned in my post for Strawberry Apricot Swirl Ice Cream last week, some beautiful golden apricots caught my eye at the store, and I just had to use them. They made such an incredibly bright complement (both in color and flavor) to the sweet fresh […]

Strawberry Apricot Swirl Ice Cream by Jazzy Gourmet

I’m warning all of us now, I might just have to go a little ice cream slap happy this summer. Some of us may recall that I got a new ice cream maker awhile back, after thwarting off the purchase because I was afraid I’d eat too much ice […]

It’s Zippy Tip Tuesday!

As luck would have it, I am still down with this crummy bug that has kicked my butt royally. Both strep and flu tests came back negative, so I was handed a prescription for Tamiflu and sent on my not-so-merry way. When I asked if the Tamiflu […]
