Flash in the Pan: Cranberry Ice Cream

Chocolate Cherry Ice Cream (No Ice Cream Maker Required!)
If you’ve been reading my blog for a while (well, at least a few months’ time), you likely know how much I loathe the cold weather. In particular, I detest snow and ice. Oh, and frost. Also rime. And let’s not forget slush. Plus, boots and hats and mitts and gloves and scarves and big, […]

Even though I haven’t been a student for some time, as soon as August rolls around, I’m right there with all the moms and kids thinking about back-to-school. I love the energy, the excitement, the fresh notebooks and pencils. (I’m weird that way). I know my friends with children face the daily challenge of creating […]
