Cantaloupe Sherbet

DSC_0074

I scream, you scream, we all scream for…cantaloupe? Yes! Did you know that with a few small ingredients you can turn one lovely cantaloupe into a delicious dessert? Yes, you can also simply chop it up and eat it that way, but I’d much rather curl up with a bowl of this! I love the idea of having a much needed frozen dessert at the end of a hot day and it coming from a ripe melon that just oozes summer. So, next time you’re at the market, go ahead and grab a cantaloupe and turn it into this weekend’s must have barbecue dessert item!

*Note: The vodka prevents the mixture from freezing like ice, rather giving it a nice shaved ice/sherbet consistency. You will want that tiny bit of alcohol in it to achieve this. If you don’t like or have vodka, you can try champagne, white wine, or even a rose’.

Roasted Baby Artichokes with Lemon Aioli

DSC_0044

Here I go with another artichoke recipe! Stay with me though, if you like artichokes you will love this recipe and if you don’t, well this may just be the one that makes you reconsider. I had seen this recipe in the latest Cooking Light magazine and thought to myself, “That would be good to try if only I could find baby artichokes.” I don’t think I’ve ever seen them. I was browsing my local grocery store and checking out their produce when I spotted some. I immediately grabbed a bunch, not remembering how many I needed. Who knows, maybe they are always there, but just in case I was going to stockpile a little.

I decided to make these for an afternoon snack instead of lunch one day and they were delicious and filling. These would make a lovely side dish though and aren’t we all in need of a different side dish now and then?

These baby artichokes are the perfect size, one to two bites. Roasting them makes them so tender and you can eat the whole thing since there is no thistle heart to contend with. Dip them in the aioli or drizzle it on top and you really have the perfect artichoke dish!

Orange Chocolate Chip Muffins

DSC_0007

When baking, it’s important to follow your recipe and measure your ingredients accurately. Your results are usually a given if you do this, whether you are a novice baker or a seasoned vet. Sometimes, though, you get carried away or too comfortable and you miss a step or an ingredient. In my case, I mixed up ingredients. Even though I read through my ingredient list and gathered all of the ingredients for this recipe I still grabbed the wrong thing. As I was measuring everything out for my daughter to pour into the bowl I said, “Now the baking powder.” My daughter spoke up and said, “Mommy, that’s not baking powder that’s baking soda!” She can’t read at three, but she already knows the difference. So, I scooped the little bit that went into the bowl our and we fixed my mistake. I hear from a lot of you that you’ll mess something up or can’t do something, and say you wish you could make things from scratch like I show here. I’m telling you, we all make mistakes! Just keep trying because the results are usually tasty! So, anyone want to share your recent or most memorable “oops” moment in the comments?

These muffins are really a nice change of pace. They have that lovely orange and chocolate combination that I’ve grown to love, but aren’t overly sweet like most orange and chocolate desserts out there. A simple, fresh flavor with that hint of chocolate. Neither is overpowering, but you can definitely tell what is inside.

  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 to 1 tsp orange oil OR 1 to 2 Tbsp orange zest, to taste
