Pistachio Ice Cream

I tried making this for the pistachio lover in our family, Aaron, but discovered this is one of my favorite ice cream recipes. 🙂

Black Cherry Ice Cream

Your dad’s absolute favorite, first experienced at Handel’s in Fishers. I searched the Interwebs for a recipe that sounded about right and made some adjustments. We no longer have to pay $8.00 for a pint of black cherry ice cream at Handel’s anymore. 🙂

Salted Caramel Ice Cream

This stuff is pretty darn good. Closer to gelato than ice cream in richness. A little goes a long way. You need an ice cream maker to create this creamy goodness.

Beef Sandwiches with Au Jus

I am adding this recipe for Alex, who seems to keep losing it. ;D

Italian Tortellini Soup

This is a delicious and hearty soup that isn’t too filling. It has lots of good stuff in it for you, too!

Vegetable Dipping Sauce

A family staple from the French side of the family. You can’t eat artichokes or asparagus without this!

Amazing French Baguettes

This recipe is from Uncle René (Grandma’s younger brother) who was a baker by profession. I asked him for a French bread recipe, and he sent me this recipe for making dozens of loaves at a time (because that’s how bakeries do it)!

Quinoa Chili

New recipe posted by Aaron for some yummy sounding chili!

Egg Challah Braid

We originally bought egg challahs a Meijer, but they don’t have them at all of their stores. Just the one in Whitestown we’ve found so far. So I hunted for a recipe and found this one on the Cuisinart website. It is freakin’ delicious! Although it seems like a lot of steps, it is really easy to make using the food processor.

White Sauce for Vegetables

This recipe might take a time or two to master, but who knows? Maybe you’ll do it just right the first time! This is a Smith holiday classic passed down from your French Grandma to you.

Crockpot Loaded Baked Potato Soup

This is really easy and a solid meal for a few days. Get out the crock pot and start souping!

Apple Pie Jam

OMG, this stuff is so good. If you like apple pie, you can have it every day on your English muffin. This is also good on ice cream and can be used in cake fillings. Yum! This is a canning recipe that is good to try if you’ve never canned anything before.

Garlic Herbed Butter

If you love fresh bread and butter, you’ll love fresh bread and garlic herbed butter. So delicious and so easy to make.

Clear Fruit Glaze for Cakes & Pies

This is pretty good stuff. It will make your cake or pie look like it was made professionally and it helps keep your cut berries looking fresh until serving time. It tastes pretty darn good, too.
