Last weekend we went blueberry picking in Highland Orchards, PA. I think mid July would have been the right time, because a lot of berries were not ripe yet. We managed to pick around 3 cups of berries. Was it worth the drive, when blueberries are available in the local supermarket right at your doorstep, with buy one get one free offer?

I had 4 very ripe bananas at home. Usually I make carrot cake with it, but this time I wanted to try something new. Then only I remembered watching an episode of Good Eats in Food TV, where Alton Brown prepared banana ice cream without eggs. So immediately went to the site to get the recipe. Interestingly I had all the ingredients at hand. But the only thing was the bananas had to be frozen overnight and thawed, before making the ice cream. I have wanted to try this for a long time now, so did not have the patience to do it the next day and also the bananas were very ripe. So proceeded to make the ice cream and it did come out very well. Maybe I’ll try the freezing method next time. So check here for the original recipe. Read the rest of this entry »

I can say that this recipe is a classic example for “serendipity”. I think you can guess where I’m going if you’ve read my choconut muffins story. To cut the long story short, my first batch of muffins did not come out well. The bottoms were moist but the tops were dry. I wanted to bake another batch of those delicious eggless chocolate muffins, but didn’t know what to do with the first batch, then an idea flashed in my head. Why not turn it into an ice cream layered cake? See, watching Food TV does help, especially Sandra Lee’s Semi-Homemade Cooking. I’m a big fan of her innovative ideas. Read the rest of this entry »
