I relish in the predictability of pairing champagne with strawberries. There is not a combination that is more fit for each other, especially now that the strawberries are ripening and the weather is warming.

Gluten Free Lemon Poppyseed Cake
I’m not here to convince you that gluten-free is better than gluten-full. I don’t think food technology is there yet where a croissant can be replicated with gluten-free flour but if I had to choose whether to eat this cake with gluten or gluten-free flour, I would go gluten-free flour all the way.

Peach Ice Cream with Brown Sugar Shortbread Cookie Crumble
FINALLY, my exhaustive ice cream trials have yielded the smoothest, creamiest, homemade ice cream. Okay, maybe exhaustive is a little bit of a stretch but after 4 rounds of grainy, large ice crystal ice cream production, I was starting to get a little discouraged. How come I couldn’t make super creamy ice cream? Was my
