Get Your Ice Cream On

  Hi.  So I've been on the computer a lot.  And when I'm not on there, I'm in the kitchen.  Also, I've been writing guest posts for people.  So when I do bake stuff...it gets e-mailed off.  Don't worry, I'll let you know when and where they come up!  There are recipes you won't want to miss.

  P.S. On a more pancake-related note, my Brown Butter Dutch Baby was featured on Yummly!  You should really check out the other posts there, I'm kinda sorta lusting after the Caramel Apple Cloud Pancake.

  In the meantime, I hope you've been celebrating National Ice Cream Month in true form!  And if you had no idea that this was National Ice Cream Month...well that's what I'm here for.

Strawberry Cookie Dough Ice Cream & Chocolate Marshmallow Cones

  After accumulating all these ice cream toppings, it's only natural that one should wonder what I put them on.  Well, when I'm not eating them by the spoonful, I drizzle them on whatever ice cream happens to be sitting in the freezer.  Sadly, more often than not, it is store-bought.  But last summer, I did start delving into the ice cream world, diligently trying out both the Philadelphia and French methods.

  One recipe in particular was a cookie dough ice cream, a double cookie dough ice cream.  While it was pretty good, it honestly wasn't great.  The chunks were kind of brown and buttery, and just not entirely resembling any kind of dough.  The reason I tried it was because the base itself incorporated cookie dough ingredients, so I thought it had to be pretty good.  Meh.
