This simple scoop is creamy and smooth, with a flavor that is subtly sweet and even a little savory. Consider it the new vanilla.

Apple Cider Ice Cream #4
This latest apple cider ice cream is a pretty pumpkin latte-hued scoop with a creamy texture and a lovely fall spice flavor somewhere between a mulled cider and a chai tea latte.
Apple Cider Ice Cream #1
As far as farms go, my family's is pretty unique. It's both a fully operational dairy farm and apple orchard. Normally, one would pick one or the other. Truly, aside from both being farms, they are entirely different businesses. Clearly I come from a long line of over-achievers (or maybe over-committers...). There actually was some...

Butterscotch Ice Cream
I almost always keep a stash of brownies and vanilla ice cream in my freezer for "emergencies."

The Scoop: The Screamery, Tucson, AZ

While it is a big departure from the Thanksgivings of my past (freezing cold weather, sometimes snow, homemade apple pie), I have been enjoying new traditions with the Guzmans (warm weather, family game night, food with serious kick!). And... Continue Reading →
The Scoop: Prohibition Creamery, Austin, TX
I recently visited Austin, Texas to present at a conference, and obviously had to make a point to sample a local scoop. After doing some research, I came across a much-talked-about cocktail bar / ice cream shop combo called Prohibition Creamery that sounded well worth the visit. Two of my favorite guilty pleasures in one... Continue Reading →
