Individual Peach Crumbles

Several weeks ago, I received a piece of very important kitchen equipment from my mom: a nut chopper.  Scott and I were visiting my parents, and for some reason my mom and I were chatting about a few things I was still looking to include in our kitchen.  In particular, I told her that I had been on the prowl for a nut chopper like hers.

Lime Whip Pie

Several weeks ago, my friend Beth and I had a conversation about our love of key lime pie. At the time, I was freshly returned from a trip to Maine, and was still thinking about the blueberry cream pie I had made while there. I decided the blueberry pie was a prime candidate for a lime flavor intervention.

Lime Curd

I first tried to make lime curd several weeks ago.  I had 3 egg yolks (from another cookie experiment) and was determined to make a small batch of curd with them.  It was a miserable experiment!  I learned that lime curd is just one of those things that you need to make a little more of to get it just right.

Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies

I first made these cookies to take to Scott's Peace Corps reunion. They are rich, chocolaty, and laced with veins of dark chocolate chips. If you let them sit in the sun for a few minutes, the chips are sure to melt, and it will only intensify your cookie eating experience.

Orange Popsicles

I've been in popsicle heaven for the last few weeks.

Zucchini Towers

A little while ago, Scott brought home a lovely zucchini from one of his co-workers. As luck would have it, a day or so later we got to pick some basil in a friend's garden. When we got home, I looked at the zucchini, looked at the basil, and decided that they should be eaten together.

Chocolate Banana Ice Cream

I'm not quite sure why I wanted to make this ice cream a week or so ago. I think I might have thought of it while Scott and I were swimming laps at the pool, but I can't be sure. Desserts are the perfect thing to think about while you're swimming back and forth, and back and forth, and can't be bothered to count how many laps you've done.
