Sticky, Gooey, Creamy, Chewy

Hello, my lovelies! It’s time again for another droolworthy creation from the Daring Bakers. This month it’s all about the perfect summertime treat - cool and creamy ice cream. The July 2010 Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Sunita of Sunita’s World – Life and Food. Sunita challenged everyone to make an ice-cream filled Swiss roll that’s then used to make a bombe with hot fudge. Her recipe is based on an ice cream cake recipe from Taste of Home.

The bombe or ice cream cake begins with a light and thin sponge cake which is slathered with a whipped cream filling and rolled up to make a Swiss roll. Slices of the Swiss roll are used to line a bowl and are then filled with alternating layers of softened ice cream and fudge topping. Then, the whole thing is frozen solid, unmolded and served. Don’t let your eyes roll back into your head just yet. You’ll need them to read how to make this dreamy dessert. read more >>

Pasta con le Regaglie is a classic example of Cucina Povera, or Cooking of the Poor. At first glance, it looks like a lovely bowl of pasta dressed with a rich, chunky, meaty sauce. And, that is exactly what it is. Except, that the meats in question are chicken livers, gizzards and hearts. That’s right - livers, gizzards and hearts- better known as offal and more delicately referred to as giblets. And, do you know what? They are delicious!

Sometimes, life is just a bowl of cherries.

Sometimes, it’s just the pits!

And, when it’s the pits, one thing that always makes me feel so much better is some cool, refreshing, fruity cherry sorbetto.

Here’s a little something I made for our Fourth of July celebration last weekend. Aren’t they cute? They’re Gingery Blueberry Shortcake Sliders. I made silver dollar-sized cream biscuits and filled them with a fresh lime-scented blueberry compote, topped with little puddles of lovely whipped cream. I call them “gingery” …

God Bless America was originally written by legendary composer, Irving Berlin in 1918 while serving in the U.S. Army. At the time, he couldn’t find an appropriate show to use it in, so he set it aside. It wasn’t until after the rise of Hitler in 1938 …
