Vanilla Frozen Custard
Here we are, September already! I just had to make one more batch of ice cream before retiring the ice cream maker for the season. Yes, it’s ice cream. But it’s also frozen custard, as all great ice creams are. It’s rich and decadent, and not at all good for you. I love it! It’s…

Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

I used to be indifferent to oatmeal cookies. Then I married Trip – oatmeal raisin are his favorites. So I started experimenting…
Tandoori Grilled Chicken with Mint Raita
Most of the time, I make things that don’t need much more prior planning than stopping by the market. I do have a few dishes, though, that are entirely worth planning ahead. This time, I “planned ahead” by accident. I usually marinate my Tandoori Grilled Chicken for just a few hours but decided to put it…
