strawberry rhubarb galette

I am such a fan of galletes. Like all the fan. And Strawberry Rhubarb Galettes are no exception.

I would write fan letters to galettes if it made any sense to do so. Because, here’s the thing: Growing up, I hated pie. I know. I know. Just indulge my crazy for a moment. I’ve previously mentioned my absolute distaste for anything mushy or soggy, and well, to me, most pies just tasted like a pie of soggy oversweetened fruit. Ew. I loved the crusts.  Which was odd, as I used to never eat the crust on sandwiches or pizza, but whatever, kids are strangely picky. But, I used to try and eat around the pie filling, breaking off little pieces of perfectly crisp pie dough to pop into my mouth….

Ice Cream Bon Bons

There’s something fun about the word bon bon, isn’t there? I mean, just say it: bon bon. It sounds fancy and delicious and all sorts of difficult to make. And while bon bons are, for sure, definitely fancy AND delicious… they’re not hard to make! In fact, I’d never made these ice cream bon bons before this morning and now I have tons of them chilling in the freezer.

I have been compensated by The Kroger Co. for this post, but the opinions are mine and mine alone. Keep reading for the Ice Cream Bon Bons recipe!

Ice Cream Bon Bonse

What Is a Bon Bon?

The word Bon bon is a French phrase that originated around 1770 that translates literally to mean “good good” and refers to a coated confection. When I think of bonbons, I think of some sort of filling enrobed in chocolate. But, did you know bonbons don’t have to be coated in chocolate? Fondant apparently will do! I know. The horror. Let’s just set that nonsense to the side for now….

Swiss Roll Cake with Strawberries and Cream

How do you make a Swiss Roll? By giving it a go – and then rewatching the first episode of Great British Bake Off (season 5 to be specific), reading umpteen articles about how to make the perfect Swiss Roll Cake, trying to decipher the difference between a jaconde sponge, a genoise sponge, and a Victoria sponge, and then trying it again. Oh, and maybe by pushing him down a hill. Sorry, had to. (Truth be told, I did sort of want to do that with my first attempt.)

Swiss Roll Cake Recipe
Although I love to share easy baking recipes with you, I need to be honest: the Swiss Roll is not the easiest recipe you’ll ever make from this site. For some yummy, very easy baking recipes, I recommend trying the Chocolate Matcha Balls, the Strawberry Puff Pastry Tart, or the Puppy Chow. Swiss Rolls take time and patience, and I recommend them only one a day when you’ve got a lot of both….

Cereal Milk Ice Cream Popsicles

Let’s get real for a second. The milk that’s left in the bowl after you eat the cereal is the best part. I mean, right? No matter how delicious your favorite cereal is, it’s the cereal milk you drink when no one is looking that’s the tastiest. That’s why Momofuku invented Cereal Milk Ice Cream at their Milk Bar. And that’s why I made these Cereal Milk Ice Cream Popsicles!

Cereal Milk Ice Cream Popsicle Recipe

Now, I gotta be honest, some cereals are healthy. These Cereal Milk Popsicles… not so much. They’re ice cream. But, I also totally had one for breakfast the other day. And by the other day, I mean yesterday. So.

When I was a kid, I had no idea cereal milk was so delicious. Because I refused, like flat-out refused, to put milk in my cereal. I can’t stand soggy things (that hasn’t changed) so no way was milk touching my perfectly crunchy cereal. It’s the same reason I generally eat my oatmeal with as little water as possible and eschewed affogato (ice cream drenched in coffee) until I learned better. But one day I decided to try pouring A VERY LITTLE bit of milk on top of my Peanut Butter Cap’n Crunch. And, you know, what, it was pretty good. But then, I drank the cereal milk left over, and oh my god. This is why people put milk in cereal. And then I went off to watch Beetlejuice or Thundercats or Freakazoid.

No wonder why everyone who’s had it loves Momofuku Milk Bar’s Cereal Milk Ice Cream. It’s rich, creamy, and totally nostalgic. And that’s why I made these Cereal Milk Ice Cream Popsicles….

Cookie Butter Popsicles

Three words. Cookie Butter Popsicles. Or, hey, if you really want to get specific, Trader Joe’s Speculoos Cookie Butter Popsicles. If you know what Cookie Butter is, jump on down to the recipe. If you don’t, you’re in for a treat!

Biscoff Cookie Butter Popsicle Recipe

What Is Cookie Butter?

Let’s start with a fact: Cookie Butter is not allowed in my house anymore. A few weeks ago, when I was contemplating what to make for Wit and Vinegar’s Popsicle Week, it came to mind. I’d always heard about and how delicious it was, but I hadn’t actually ever tried it. So first, the taste test.

Turns out Trader Joe’s Speculoos Cookie Butter has the consistency of peanut butter and is made from crushed speculoos cookies. Speculoos cookies – also known as Speculaas or Dutch windmill cookies – are crispy cookies made with a spice mix of cinnamon, ginger, pepper, cardamom, cloves, and nutmeg. They taste similar to gingerbread, but they’re sweeter. They’re also my second favorite cookie. next to florentines….
