In my opinion, summer officially starts with the first u-pick strawberries of the year. And with the first strawberries, some version of strawberry shortcake is always quick to follow. This summer we kicked it off with strawberry shortcake waffles the morning after our u-pick adventure. But to be honest, the waffles are really just a vehicle to get the sweet, juicy berries and cream into your mouth.

Comments Off on Sweet Potato Maple Pecan Ice Cream
Summer is lingering, providing us with beautiful warm days, but as of today I can say that fall is finally in the air, bringing with it fall cravings {enter sweet potatoes and maple pecans}. It's the perfect equation for an autumn ice cream. Although it's worth saying that I've been making this ice cream for over a year now and it has been a family favorite in every season of the year.

Could it be that bananas are the only ingredient in this frozen treat and yet it has the creamy texture of traditional ice cream? Unbelievably, yes! It is so easy to make (you don't even need an ice cream maker). And I love the fact that when my son now screams for ice cream, I can give him this -- an elegant form of frozen bananas.
