Pumpkin Ice Cream with Pumpkin Caramel Sauce

Pumpkin Ice Cream with Pumpkin Caramel Sauce

I feel a bit nervous about posting.

It’s been so long since I’ve shared anything, and I’m feeling a mixture of guilt and sadness since I haven’t been able to dedicate any time to blogging. I feel that I was so obsessed with blogging for so long that I needed to take a break and focus on other aspects of my life.  It’s incredible to think of the time spent around blogging-and I want to be able to do it when I know I can enjoy cooking/photographing/editing/writing the post.  So let’s get down to it, k?

Creamy Caramel Sauce

I have never been a fan of caramel sauce.  I kind of thought I was weird.  Until one day I decided to make my own, and my opinion changed.  I can’t believe the difference from the store-bought ones!  I love the creamy smooth taste it has and subtle hint of vanilla.  I find caramel sauce perfect for a sweet craving-such as dipping fruit in it and smothering the top of ice cream.  The possibilities are endless!

Garlic Scape Pesto

It’s funny how things change when you get older.  Your preferences change-such as wanting to be in bed by 1000pm on a Friday night, or how going for a run makes you feel so delighted (and it was anything but delightful when I was in high school), and how I enjoy staying home and baking, ect.  But I’m also talking about how your taste buds change.  For the better, mind you.  I’ve disliked many things growing up, but now I am glad that I have a full appreciation of them.  Pesto is one of those things.  When I was first introduced to it I couldn’t imagine why anyone would want to eat something so disgusting.  Then I was convinced that only granola-munching hippies would eat it.  And slowly, in small doses, Marlina introduced me to it, I got hooked.
