ice cream sandwich dreams

I've been noticing via Pinterest lately that ice cream sandwiches are kind of a new old thing.  Yes, I've certainly had my experience with them in the past, but they were always of the out-of-the-box-in-the-freezer variety.  Nowadays, they're a completely different animal altogether.  

Just look at these and swear to me that your mouth isn't watering.

Donuts, people.  Donuts.  Who'd have thunk it?

Chocolate Doughnut, Nutella, and Coffee Ice Cream Sandwiches

Some of my favorite edibles.  All combined into a thing of pure beauty.  Who could resist?

S'mores ice cream sandwiches

The s'more has evolved.  In a very delicious way.

If trail mix is involved, it must be healthy.  Right?

I'm all in when it comes to a sweet and salty mix.  Score.

Have you had any amazing ice cream sandwich encounters lately that you'd like to share? Please do!

just peachy

It's August (yay!) and even though the summer season is slowly starting to wind down, the sun is still bright and shining and the thermometer is running hot.  And you know what?  Everything is feeling pretty peachy.  So in honor of that, I've decided to celebrate my favorite summer fruit...yep, you guessed it.

summer peach and balsamic pizza recipe by love and olive oil 

This recipe looks pretty much divine in every possible way.  First and foremost, it seems like something that I could do pretty easily without too much time invested.  Plus, it looks totally scrumptious. Obviously.   Just perfect for a warm summer night out on the patio.

And with my beautiful peach pizza, I might also decide to have this lovely peach margarita.  Talk about peach heaven. I don't know, though, too much peach all at once?  Nah. Impossible.

I might also decide to use this cool iphone (case) to call some friends and invite them to come over to share some of my peachy good eats.

And who doesn't want a little more chevron in their life?  This pillow would totally make my life complete.

And there you have it...my ode to the peach.

What kind of fruit have you been indulging in this summer?

cheers, Julie
