My attempts at making vegan marshmallows this weekend turned out to be a total fail, but that didn’t stop us from having a great weekend! I’m enjoying Instagram more and more for capturing our adventures, so here goes! I picked up Kevin from the airport early Saturday morning that left me feeling like a zombie…
Remember the Dole recipe contest I mentioned last week? I got started my entry on Sunday morning with the full intention of grilling bananas, pineapple and tempeh, but the hot weather distracted me and I ended up with cups of ice cream. I didn’t even get as far as preheating the grill! Darn you bananas…
It’s rare that I come across a recipe that I want to make SO badly that I literally run down to the kitchen to prepare it on the spot. The last time it happened was when I’d found Averie’s Blueberry Banana Oat Cakes. Just a couple of substitutions and it quickly morphed into what is…
Before being introduced to banana soft serve I would have never thought to make ice cream out of frozen fruit. Sitting outside on a hot summers day soaking up the sunshine and cooling off with a cup of fudgy banana soft serve opened up a whole new world for me. I’ve never been the same…

For those of you who guessed chunky monkey ice cream, you were bang on! Although you did cheat and look at the title of the picture. Fail on my part for not editing that. It was early and I was consumed by chocolate chunks and walnuts. Can you blame me for being sucked in by…
Kevin and I have been busy bees this week! The weather’s been hot, the sunscreen is running on empty, ice cream has been flowing, and our backyard projects are finally coming together. Among other things, we dug a 24″ deep trench for the conduit cable for our new bug zapper. Take THAT mosquitoes. Mwahaha. I…
Nothing like a cool treat after a long day, right? Yesterday was my last day at the office for 2 weeks, so there was countless things to wrap up. Not only that, but I had an insanely long list of things to do before I could go home: pick up wholesale grains [one of my…
I’m happy to report that I completed everything on my to do list, except for the photography stroll I had planned for the afternoon. I have a good excuse though. The minute I walked outside with camera in hand, it started snowing. Snow + Kevin’s DSLR = Leanne in a lot of trouble if something…
