Buckeye Blueberry Swirl Ice Cream

WE'VE MOVED! Now redirecting you to our new page.

On holidays and celebration days, our family likes to pull out all the stops. And by pull out all the stops,   I mean bake all the decadent things. We made this peanut buttery, chocolatey, blueberry-y dairy delight to accompany our dad's requested flourless chocolate cake on Father's Day.

Things our dad likes: Reese's, blueberries, intense chocolate cake, airplanes, us (not necessarily in that order). They all come together in this ridonkulously indulgent dessert (except the airplanes, for obvious reasons, although he did receive a model airplane as a gift just before dessert was served, so we got that covered too - done, done, done, and done).

Pistachio Cupcakes with Lemon Frosting

WE'VE MOVED! Now redirecting you to our new page.

Being abroad is an inspiring experience. You're exposed to new places, new sights, new experiences, new beliefs...and new baked goods. Two weeks home now, I continue to be inspired by my time in London. Case in point, this recipe, which was born from an afternoon's wandering around Shoreditch culminating in an impulsive afternoon tea.

In the mood for a sweet afternoon pick-me-up, and after poking my nose into several different cafes, scoping out their dessert counter, I stumbled on a most curious little flavor combination: pistachio lemon loaf cake. My interest piqued, I ordered a slice.

Have you ever had one of those experiences where you encounter two seemingly incongruous things that would never have occurred to you to pair together, but they are you just think, "Of course"? This was that. One bite in and I was totally smitten.

Reese's Cupcakes

I hope you guys aren't getting bored of peanut butter and chocolate baked goods. I hope you never do. Because they constitute about 35% of what we bake and post about on this blog
