Rocky Road, Two Ways

What’s uuuuuuup?!

Oh what am I doing, you ask?

Nothing much…just plugged away this weekend…curing big world problems…like the issue of how to get Rocky Road in your face (sans Rocky Road ice cream). Were you aware this was an issue? It totally WAS. Don’t worry; I figured it out.

First way: this milkshake. Sure you can use rocky road ice cream. I realize this. But then you wouldn’t have toasted marshmallow. And really that’s the whole thing about this milkshake. I was totally in it for the burnt marshmallows.

Then there are these Rocky Road cookies. Chocolate making out with chocolate, walnuts and marshmallows all folded in. Ma-jor.

Blackberry Semi-Freddo

Hi!

A Cozy Kitchen officially got upgraded, didn’t it? What do you think? Like? Love?

Before we dive into this ice cream specimen above, I’d like to thank (and introduce you all) to one of my best lady friends, Teri Lyn Fisher. Besides being super weird and hilarious, she’s also an amazing food/interior photographer. And since she’s basically good at about everything, she also designed every element of this blog, as well as designed and took the beautiful banner picture.

I’d also like to give a huge thanks and shout-out to Paul. He took care of all the backend that goes into making a blog work. Everything–for the first time–is properly categorized, tagged, etc. It’ll make for searching for recipes (and other key words) a whole lot easier. He’s a pro at this stuff and I highly recommend getting in contact with him if you, too, need a little upgrade.

They both deserve lots of hugs…and cookies.

I think we should talk about ice cream now…

Plantains, Two Ways

in appetizers, Sides, Snacks

Hi Monday, I’m usually not so excited about you but I have a cubano coffee in my hand, my sunglasses on and I’m dreaming about this vegan coconut ice cream and plantain combo (my new obsession). Not too shabs, not too shabs at all.

I learned a few things growing up in South Florida. 1) How to deal with frizzy hair. 2) That Florida is a place where old people get really awesome at tennis. 3) And how to make plantains.

This recipe is easy-peasy, totally Monday-proof. Buy two different types of plantains: dark brown and green. And then–in the same pan–make an appetizer (or side dish) and dessert. Yes please! .

Bubble Gum Vodka Ice Cream Float

in Desserts, Drinks

Remember bubble gum ice cream? You know, vanilla ice cream that has bits of bubble gum scattered inside it? Chances are that you have a distinct memory of either loving or hating this as a kid. As I asked people about it in preparation for this recipe, I found that everyone had an incredibly strong opinion to offer. Me? I LOVED it.

The trick to eating ice cream that had bubble gum in it was trying to manage the gum as you ate. As every kid knows, if you swallow a piece of gum it will stay inside you for 100 years, so it’s best if you avoid having this happen. Therefore, as you ate the ice cream you had to save the bits of gum in your mouth. This gets a little tricky toward the end when you have a big wad of gum on one side of your mouth and you’re trying to get the last bites of ice cream through the other.

Stand’s Toasted Marshmallow Milkshake

in Desserts, Drinks

Lovelies! It’s Summer, aren’t you excited? I am, and this is coming from the girl who writes love letters to Winter. This week the anticipation for Summer hit me like a ton of bricks. I’m having a fun-filled Memorial weekend with Sex and the City 2 (despite the bad reviews), a screening of Purple Rain at Hollywood Forever Cemetery, BBQs, a birthday party, and I also plan on setting a bit of time aside to down a few of these cute little milkshakes.

Summer has got me so giddy that I thought it was time I roast some marshmallows (over my gas range) and throw them in a blender with vanilla ice cream–it’s absolute craziness. I think you should be crazy, too. It’s only fair.
