Caramel Coffee Ice Cream

A few days back, when the summer heat was pretty unbearable, I made this wonderful coffee ice cream. It's so refreshing!

I followed this recipe: http://www.indochinekitchen.com/recipes/coffee-ice-cream/
I ended up adding caramel syrup to the recipe and it was a great combo.

GF Lemon Blueberry Muffins

These gluten-free lemon blueberry muffins are seriously the best muffins I've made in quite a while! A while back I made lemon poppyseed muffins which turned out...awful. I also made blueberry muffins a few months ago and they came out super dry. These, on the other hand, are magical. They are so moist and delicious!


If you love lemon and blueberries then you will love this recipe whether you are gluten-free or not!

GF Lemon Blueberry Muffins 

6 1/2 tablespoons softened butter

Lemon Cake

Yesterday I just had a longing to bake a cake. I ended up making this delicious gluten-free lemon cake.

Here's the recipe that I followed: http://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes
The only thing I did different was add a teaspoon of vanilla! I pretty much put vanilla in everything.

I rarely make gluten-free cakes but I love how this one turned out. It's very soft and spongy- which is rare for a gluten-free cake. Normally gluten-free cakes are super dense.
