Dreamy Creamy Strawberry Ice Cream.

Please forgive my photography skills, or the lack thereof.  I wish I could have taken a picture that would have done this justice. That being said, this ice cream is AMAZING!  So much better than store-bought.  I'm normally a chocolate kind of girl, but this strawberry has taken the #1 spot in my heart.  I could eat it everyday, which is why I've had to exercise some serious self-control. Homemade ice cream may seem daunting but it is so simple!  Really!  Try it out sometime, if you haven't already, but be forewarned...you may never have a desire to buy store-bought ice cream again.



Dreamy Creamy Strawberry Ice Cream
from Annie's Eats

Ingredients:
1 lb. fresh strawberries, rinsed, hulled and sliced*
¾ cup sugar
1 tbsp. vodka or kirsch (optional)- yeah, I left this out :)
1 cup sour cream
1 cup heavy cream
½ tsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice

Directions:

Combine the sliced strawberries in a medium bowl with the sugar and vodka. Stir until the sugar begins to dissolve. Cover and let stand at room temperature for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.


Transfer the mixture to the bowl of a blender or food processor and add the sour cream, heavy cream and lemon juice. Pulse briefly until almost smooth but still slightly chunky. Chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Freeze in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.


*Note: I highly recommend using organic strawberries for this recipe. The flavor is worlds better than their more artificial counterparts.

Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps

I am always looking for fast, easy and nutritious meals for my busy weeknight meals.  These wraps have become one of our family favorites.  We serve these with a side of wontons or potstickers to complete the meal. The filling can be made ahead of time and reheated if your day is extra busy. Bibb lettuce is our favorite, but feel free to use iceberg or even romaine for this dish. I hope you enjoy these as much as we do!

Glazed Lemon Loaf Cake

Ever since getting a slice of Lemon Cake from Starbucks a few years back I have been on a quest to find a good copycat recipe.  I've tried several and they were all fine, but this cake is officially the winner.  My search is over! I seriously could not imagine a more perfect lemon cake.   Lemon flavor shines throughout the cake, but the real punch of flavor comes from the delectable glaze. The cake itself is so moist yet fluffy and tender at the same time.  It's like a ray of sunshine on a cold winter's day! 

Best Ever Chocolate Chip Cookies

The name says it all. These cookies are my (and my husband's) favorite cookies! Not just your average chocolate chip cookies, these babies come out of the oven with a slightly crisp outside while still remaining soft on the inside. Use Ghiradelli Milk Chocolate Chips and you will have achieved chocolate chip cookie perfection!
