vietnamese coffee ice cream
Ever tried Vietnamese coffee? It's stronger and darker than traditional American coffee, but often served counterbalanced with sweet, sugary condensed milk for one decadent caffeine fix. Now take that deliciousness and let's freeze it for the boldest, yet sweetest coffee ice cream. That's exactly what we did for a recent supper club gathering where the… Continue reading vietnamese coffee ice cream
iced ginger & pear bread
Fall is coming. I can feel it! The pumpkin spice lattes are officially available and the high this weekend is 75 degrees. The HIGH. This 8 month pregnant lady is so thankful that the 100+ degree plus days are a thing of the past. With fall comes the need for warm, sweet desserts that pair… Continue reading iced ginger & pear bread
creamy roasted delicata & yellow squash soup
While squash is a summer staple, soup doesn't always seem to be on my radar given the hot temperatures of Texas summers. However, it's been cooling off in Dallas recently and this soup was an absolutely delicious use of it from a recent Farmhouse Delivery box filled with assorted squash. We paired it with a… Continue reading creamy roasted delicata & yellow squash soup
baked shrimp scampi
Scampi is simply the intersection of all the best things in life--garlic, butter, bread crumbs, lemon, herbs and seafood. When I was a little girl, I used to love the shrimp scampi from the restaurant Red Lobster as it seemed to be extra buttery and extra garlicky. Didn't hurt that you could dip those famous… Continue reading baked shrimp scampi

mushroom & zucchini tomato sauce
Zucchini is a summer staple that seems to always accumulate in our fridge without a great recipe to go into before going bad. And I must admit, it's not my favorite vegetable on its own so sneaking it into other things is usually my preferred way to eat it. And cue this incredible sauce. It… Continue reading mushroom & zucchini tomato sauce
pear & walnut spice cake
Making use of ripe pears from our recent Farmhouse Delivery box, this lovely spice cake pairs perfectly with that first cup of coffee of the morning. The outside gets a bit crackly while the inside retains a moist crumb with pieces of sweet pear and crunchy walnuts. Embarrassed to admit how long this cake last… Continue reading pear & walnut spice cake

spaghetti squash carbonara with sweet green peas
Hey, I have absolutely nothing against pasta, but sometimes it is nice to lighten things up a bit. A simple truth: spaghetti squash will never be pasta. But that doesn't mean it can't be delicious. Especially when you don't have to sacrifice the cheesy, creamy goodness with crispy, garlicky pancetta of a traditional carbonara. We… Continue reading spaghetti squash carbonara with sweet green peas
