Sweet and tangy pineapple paired with silky whipped cream and condensed milk makes an insanely good combination! And to make it a little boozy, a splash of rum is the perfect finishing touch. Nothing says summer like some fruity homemade ice cream. It’s the perfect way to cool down after a hot summer day at the pool or beach. That said, if you’re a real ice cream lover like me, you might make this all year round....

Why We Love This Spiced Honey Syrup Recipe Have you ever opened different jars of honey and experienced a honey-tasting? Honey can vary in taste and appearance, just as much as wines. The specific flavor and color are derived from the type of nectar the bees use. Bees collect nectar from flowers grown in specific parts of the world, sometimes a wide array of flowers, and sometimes one specific variety. Therefore honey tastes slightly different in every region....

An ice cream sundae is a layered dessert made with ice cream.

At a minimum, today’s version of a sundae contains 4 components: ice cream, sauce or syrup, add-ins like fresh fruit, sprinkles or nuts, and a garnish....

Anytime I mention this recipe to someone, I get hit with the same two questions: What is a Kentucky butter cake? And what does it taste like? A Kentucky butter cake is light, fluffy, and baked in a tube pan. It tastes similar to a cake donut, but when you infuse it with the glaze, it becomes a super buttery, ultra-moist cake to die for. It’s so good, in fact, that it requires no icing at all, just that beautiful glaze....
Recipes Using Lemongrass With a bright lemon essence and a grassy back-note, lemongrass is rightly named. Its intoxicating fragrance is mystically calming and healing. No wonder it’s used in numerous teas, candles, soap, even lotions. Secretly, I cannot resist buying lemongrass products; they add a little spark of joy to my day. This year, instead of spending a fortune on lemongrass loot, I invested in a lemongrass plant. Its long green blades and rusty shoots have flourished in the summer sun....
What are Linzer Cookies? I think of Austrian Linzer Cookies as a classic holiday treat that captures all of the festivities of Christmas in each delightful bite. They feature two shortbread cookies sandwiched together with sweet preserves in the middle, and have a holiday-themed cutout on one of the cookies to let the jam show through. The cookies are lightly dusted with powdered sugar for some winter magic… And a bit of cinnamon, lemon zest, and nut flour create a delicate holiday flavor that outshines most roll-out cookie doughs....
What goes in the topping? The sweet corn is first shucked, then boiled and broiled, brushed with butter, and drizzled with lime juice. You then spread a spicy chili-flavored mayo, sprinkle chopped cilantro, cotija cheese, and red pepper flakes. This can also be served as a salad. All you have to do is remove the kernels off the broiled/grilled cob and mix everything together. I like to boil and broil as it is a very fast method....
Where did all the days go by? I just came to realize that we’re almost halfway down the year. Imagine that! While I’m starting to question what have I been doing for the past 4 months, I’m also thrilled to welcome May as it is my birth month. I’m not going to tell my age, not now. 😉 This month is my favorite month, not that it’s because it’s my birth month, but it’s also the month of celebrating Mother’s Day, a day close to my heart; and of course, Cinco de Mayo!...

Why We Love A Patty Melt The rest of the world may snub American cuisine, but we invented chocolate chip cookies, popcorn… And Patty Melts. Enough said.

This ingenious mash-up of a hamburger and a grilled cheese sandwich is one of the most ridiculously comforting hand-held delights. A traditional patty melt recipe consists of two slices of bread, a griddle-fried hamburger patty, caramelized onions, and two types of cheese, usually American cheese and Swiss cheese....
