There’s nothing like a frozen treat in March with snow still blanketing the ground and a chill still in the air. I can’t help but keep wishing for warmer weather, sunshine, and popsicles, or in this case, a Blueberry Earl Grey Granita. This infusion of tea, simple syrup, and blueberries became a beautifully crystallized granita …
These lemon bars have a brown sugar crust that is different from the normal shortbread but still very delightful! Classic lemon bars are one of my favorite desserts. There is a vendor at the farmers’ market I frequent that sells them and I always leave with one in my stomach. When I saw this recipe …
These Whole Wheat Peanut Butter Cookies are perfect on their own but I suspect if you dipped them in melted dark chocolate, they would be fab. Sometimes it snows and you bake Peanut Butter Cookies. If only because you went to the grocery store the night before the impending storm of doom and promptly left because …
After making Red Velvet Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting I had so many leftover cupcakes I decided to crumble up a few in a plastic bag and put the leftovers in the freezer for this Red Velvet Cake Ice Cream! For this recipe, I mingled the frozen cake pieces and cream cheese frosting with a …
These Red Velvet Cupcakes are tender and tasty, pairing perfectly with the sweet tang of cream cheese frosting. Truly classic! I’ve made a lot of cupcakes in my day. A whole lot. When I first started this website it was called ‘Sweet Remedy’ but it really began as a tiny booth at a farmers’ market …
This Creamy Chocolate Fondue Dip is perfect for Valentine’s Day! This is a really delicious dessert dip! It’s made up of melted chocolate and homemade whipped cream. You can take any fruit and cut it up into chunks to enjoy with this recipe. This time around I went with strawberries, apples, and pears. Pineapple is …
I’m really starting to think I have a chocolate problem. A straight-up chocolate addiction. People always say that as a joke but I’m not fooling around here. I think I might really need to sugar detox or go to a sugar rehab. They have those, yeah? I wonder if I can go the rest of …
These Chipotle Nutella Cookies were supposed to be crinkle cookies but that didn’t really work out. I didn’t fully read the instructions of the original recipe and didn’t have time to chill the dough due to needing to bring them with me to dinner! So I just baked them and sprinkled confectioners sugar on top. …
This Spicy Chipotle Hot Chocolate recipe is a grownup spin on a childhood favorite! Frothy milk, creamy chocolate and a serious kick, yes please! Spicy Chipotle Hot Chocolate! AKA Mexican Hot Chocolate, AKA Spicy Hot Cocoa.. by any name, it’s delicious! By the way, what do you call it? Are you in the hot cocoa …
Let’s talk about the weather. This summer has been a bust, weather-wise. I should have been a fish, or better yet, a mermaid. I was born to swim; my mom will tell you all about it. Usually, in the summer I’m what my family refers to as a “drowned rat” because I’m always soaked, my …
The big box of cheese came from Vermont Creamery, a brand I’ve always loved. Have you tried any of their products? There is so much you can do with goat cheese! If you haven’t had the opportunity to give Vermont Creamery a try, keep an eye out for them in your grocery store! I love …
Picking fruit is always a sobering experience. There is no guesswork as to where your food is coming from like there is when you pick up a plastic see through the container at a grocery store. It’s a different shopping experience, one I can stand behind. It takes more time and effort but being able …
I unofficially declare June popsicle month, considering I’ve already made 3 different flavors and it’s not even a week into June. First up: Cherry Lime Popsicles! They are sweet and very sour (in a good way!) You know what has been making these popsicle creations easier to make? OXO’s Fruit Tools. Seriously. How did I …
The idea for this Blood Orange Granita came to be because the blood oranges at the store looked particularly enticing. I knew that I wanted to juice them when I got home. I just wasn’t exactly sure what I’d be making. Sometimes you just have to let the ingredients dictate what you create. When I …
According to the Internet, Soda bread is not Irish if it contains sugar or raisins. My tradition is Irish Soda Bread and the recipe I use calls for both sugar and raisins. It was a let down to learn that the recipe I’ve been eating all my life wasn’t authentic. However, I was recently informed …
Rice pudding is so easy to make I’m not really sure why I waited so long to share it here. The best part about this brown rice pudding recipe is that you can also swap out the brown for white rice, if you are so inclined. I decided that I needed to make some but …
Right now, my life is all about these Candied Walnuts and Pecans. Yes, I’m in love. These are so easy to make that you should stop reading right now and go make them. You can eat them by the handful or put them in lots of dishes like salads, granola, or even on top of …
This Peanut Butter Hot Chocolate Recipe! I can’t express how creamy, chocolatey, and absolutely delicious this recipe is. “You got peanut butter in my chocolate!” “You got chocolate in my peanut butter!” I used homemade marshmallows in this recipe. You can make them at home pretty easily too. Don’t forget to give them a quick …
Apple crisp is one of those recipes that is so simple that it’s hard not to make a quick batch. Especially when you live in New York and it’s quite easy to get ridiculously crisp, sweet, and juicy apples. It’s almost a sin to buy them at the grocery store and not a farm stand. …
This Blueberry Mango Wine Slushy is so easy to make and it is a cool treat when the mid-July 90 degree weather hits. You can’t beat it! Two weeks ago I went to a wine tasting at my friend’s wine store. I walked from table to table and tried the different wines. I knew I …
Certain foods make you think about certain people. I am pretty sure I have an ice cream flavor that I relate to important people in my life. For instance: Mint chocolate chip reminds me of my Mom. Birthday cake reminds me of my Husband Chocolate and Vanilla Twist reminds me of my Dad …

You could say I am obsessed with Green Tea. I adore it. You bet that if something is offered in a green tea flavor, I am all about it. Some of my favorite green tea things: Starbucks frappuccino Bubble tea Mochi Good ole hot green tea Iced green tea …and of course… ice cream. I …
I’m not completely sure what to call these bad boys. Are they cookies? Are they truffles? I don’t really care! Whatever you call them, they are extremely addictive and I can’t get enough of them. I had these last year at a Christmas party so when I first read this recipe I never would have …
