You're welcome. This homemade ice cream is a perfect companion to your favorite Thanksgiving pies. Pecan Pie + Brown Butter Ice Cream = Best Butter Pecan treat ever! It is delicious paired with apple pies/tarts also. I haven't tried it with pumpkin pie (yet), but I'm confident that it will not be disappointing. Topping it...

Chocolate Hazelnut Crepe Cake
My birthday cake project was a tower of success. After the first time I tried making this and the less-than-satisfactory results, I was determined to pull it off this time with minimal tears or bloodshed. (You can read about my 2006 attempt here.) This is by no means a whip-it-together last minute type of dessert...
Pumpkin Spice Bundt Cake with Buttermilk Icing
It's getting to be that time of the year... Pumpkin time! Our house smells like pumpkin most of the time from Labor Day until New Years. We love pumpkin pie, pumpkin doughnuts (I should share that recipe soon!), pumpkin cake, pumpkin candles, pumpkin waffles (a new favorite), pumpkin spiced lattes and anything else you can...
Swiss Meringue Buttercream (Vanilla or Chocolate)
This is my go-to buttercream recipe. It takes some time, and lots of dishes, but it is worth it in the end if you ask me. The texture is perfectly smooth and light with no unpleasant grains of sugar remaining thanks to the fact that the sugar is dissolved in the egg whites. I like...

There has been a tremendous amount of baking going on in my life lately, and that is definitely not a complaint. In keeping with that theme, I am going to share some more of my favorite cake recipes from over the years, and some that I am trying for the first time. This triple berry...
Red Velvet Cupcakes from Magnolia Bakery
Red Velvet cake is my absolute favorite cake. Perfect for any occasion. Celebrating Hubby's new job, Sister moving to college, Brother-in-law completing a milestone accomplishment. These are a few of the reasons we have enjoyed red velvet cake recently. I had a chance to go to Magnolia Bakery a few weeks ago (in Chicago) and...
Arborio Rice Pudding with Cinnamon and Vanilla
This was my first experience with rice pudding, and I must admit, I was a bit unsure if I would like it. However, Hubby is a lifelong fan of cream of wheat and oatmeal (me, not so much), so when he discovered what I was making, he was excited to try a dessert version. Let's...
Peach Raspberry Tart
This was a great dessert after our ribs. Very easy and delicious. I love fruit desserts in the summer, so I'm sure we will be making this again.

Backcountry Blackberry Peach Cobbler
We enjoyed this treat immensely at our campfire last night. I would have taken a picture, but we ate it so fast that I forgot! We actually substituted blueberries instead of blackberries, since that's what was available at my grocery store.
