Foodie Friday: You'll Scream For This Ice Cream

 

Sunday is National Ice Cream Day. So today's post is all about ....you guessed it....ice cream! We did an Ice Cream Sundae Bar on the 4th of July. It was a big hit. Any type of participartory mealtime event is always fun for a crowd.  Going out for ice cream is a fun summer tradition. After perusing this post, you just may want to stay in. 

Pina Colada Nice Cream

This is another no churn frozen dessert with a banana base. Add some coconut cream and coconut rum, and you have a boozy summer treat.  

The Rogue Brussel Sprout

Lavender Honey Ice Cream

How appealing, right? This recipe calls for making a custard...old school. But the steps just might be worth it. You'll need some culinary lavender. I sourced it for you at Amazon.

Frolic And Fare

No Churn Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream
Have you noticed how good strawberries are this summer? They are expensive, too. At the Farmer's Market organic strawberries were $12! But they were the best strawberries I ever had. This recipe calls for store bought cheesecake. And that's such a step saver.

The Cozy Plum

Ice Cream Sundae Flute Glass

Serve your homemade creations with style. Let's face it, ice cream cones are messy, but these glass cones are both chic and mess free.

Anthropologie

Coconut Sorbet
I grew up on homemade coconut ice cream, but I never had it made in a sorbet. It sounds so light and refreshing. The best is that it can be made in a blender or ice cream maker.

No Churn Chocolate Bar Ice Cream

I'll be trying this on very soon. The perfect chocolate fix!

No Churn Peach Cobbler Ice Cream

Oh this takes me back to my mom's peach ice cream.  And though she just made straight peach ice cream, she would serve it over homemade peach cobbler. Kind of the same, and just delicious.

Quiet Baking Day

No Churn Coffee Cookie Dough Ice Cream

Vegan & Gluten Free
The author says it best: "This cookie dough ice cream is so rich and creamy, flavored with coffee, gluten free cookie dough, and a smooth fudge swirl"  This ice cream is a dream for those with food issues.

Show Stopping Sides For Thanksgiving

The "Shop This" household could easily skip the turkey and feast on starters, sides, and desserts. This year, since it is just the two of us, we may do that. This roundup features classic dishes with a twist.  I personally think that life is too short to prepare boring food. So get ready to mull your wine, candy some bacon, and mash the squash.

Get inspired!

Mulled Wine Cranberry Sauce

I begin with my favorite dish on the Thanksgiving table. Some kind of liquor is always present in mine, but I have not tried wine. It does sound like a match made in heaven, though. It's said to be both sweet and tart. Yum!

Striped Spatula

Maple Roasted Rainbow Carrots With Walnuts and Feta

I am always fascinated by these colorful carrots. They are almost too pretty to cook. Did you know that each color of rainbow carrot provides a different nutrient for your body?  Click the link to read more. But safe to say that this might be the healthiest dish on the table.

Snixy Kitchen

Pumpkin and Potato Gratins With Gruyere and Sage

Sage is my favorite word and ingredient for Fall and Thanksgiving. I go through quite a bit of the fresh herb each Thanksgiving. The cheese is nutty and strong, but not overpowering at all. 

Something different!

Cooking For Keeps

Pumpkin Bread Stuffing With Candied Bacon & Pecans 

A bit untraditional because of the sweet aspect of this dressing. Why not try something new? Here's a reason to delve deeper,  there is rum involved!

Bakers Royale

Blue Cheese Mashed Potatoes

Here's a tangy twist on the classic mashed. These would be a hit here!

Foxes Love Lemons

Baguette, Smoked Oyster, and Pancetta Stuffing

I would love to make this dish, but Mr. Shop This does not do oysters.  (Imagine that?) Anyway, this stuffing gets a dash or two of Cognac before baking.

Yes Please!

Epicurious

Chipotle Cranberry Chutney

This cranberry chutney features a little kick and a touch of heat that works so well with the sweet. P.S. the darling ruffled MacKenzie Childs dish can be found HERE

How Sweet Eats

Mashed Butternut Squash With Goat Cheese & Rosemary

What a festive and colorful alternative to mashed potatoes! Or serve both.

Brussels Sprouts With Glazed Pancetta and Pecan

What a tasty trio of ingredients! When I really want to create a brussels sprout dish, this is how I do it. It's beyond delicious!

Jessica's Kitchen

Slow Cooker Garlic Herb Mashed Potatoes

These look perfect, don't they? Fresh garlic always gives potatoes a depth of flavor. How nice not to have to deal with your potatoes at the last minute. The slow cooker makes so much sense!

Half Baked Harvest

Savory Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Parmesan, Garlic & Herbs

Perfect for those who prefer their sweet potatoes more savory than sweet.

Cooking Classy

Green Bean Bundles With Bacon & Brown Sugar

What about skipping the green bean casserole this year and trying these beautiful bundles? Truth be told, I have never made green bean casserole. But these I would think about serving!

Williams Sonoma

Sage, Buttermilk and Bacon Biscuits

Anything with sage has a place on my Thanksgiving table. What a winning combination of flavors!

Broma Bakery

Pumpkin Walnut Sage Risotto

{ Vegan }

Serve the unexpected, and switch out dressing or potatoes for this dish. Doesn't this look delish? And from start to finish it only takes 30 minutes.
Heather Christo

Crispy Roasted Potatoes with Thyme
Crispy, buttery, and aromatic. No wonder that this dish is one of Williams Sonoma's most popular recipes of all time!

Rosemary-Pecan Mashed Sweet Potatoes

The pecans for this creamy concoction have been spiced and roasted, giving these sweets a 

crunchy twist.

Good Housekeeping

Cheesy Sausage & Sage Stuffing

Melted gooey cheese in your stuffing? I never thought about it, but it looks fab. This dish falls between a strata, a gratin, and the traditional dressing. Maybe it will become a new  family favorite.

How cute are these? The kids will love them, and the adults will be impressed.

My first thought is I don't care what the cupcake tastes like, because that frosting is drool worthy! But by the way, the cupcake is pumpkin and said to be super moist.

Heather states that in the seven years she has been baking vegan and GF, these are the absolute best cookies ever. That says a lot! This recipe calls for "sunflower butter" and Bob's Red Mill flour.  Sounds fab!
