S'mores Ice Cream Cake

Sorry, I'm not sorry. Allow me to go out on a limb here, guys. I try to keep this blog pretty practical, mostly nutritious, and classic. Or I at least like to have a good excuse to be completely ridiculous (see here for an example of my reasonable insanity). 

Thirsty Thursday | Cucumber Collins

The Collins is such a classic cocktail it even has a namesake  glass. And I'd be so bold to call the Collins the official drink to wrap up summer - especially this cucumber riff on it. 

Feeding Baby | Nana's Frosty

Today's recipe is like our Thirsty Thursday for the under 5 set. There is no booze, but I consider the banana frosty as much a classic kids drink as the Shirley Temple. Maybe you know this banana smoothie by any other name: Banana Freeze, Faux Ice Cream, or as we call it in our house - 'Nana's Frosty. 

The BLP | Bacon, Lettuce, + Peach Sandwich

There is a small problem in my house: my husband does not like tomatoes. Sure, he'll eat tomato sauce, but do not try to serve that man a tomato and mayonnaise sandwich; in fact don't even eat it in front of him. 

Though he helped plant 16 tomato starters in our vegetable garden this year and has lovingly weeded them, pruned, and nurtured them. He still refuses to eat a ripe, perfectly seasoned, raw tomato. And I refuse to make dinner twice.
