This Green Tea Ice Cream is made using Matcha green tea powder. It is definitely not a normal ice cream flavor in our part of the world, but it is a great recipe if you are a little adventurous.
In November, I wrote a blog post about making pomegranate jelly. I gave a small jar of that jelly to a neighbor who invited us to their party. The neighbor has a friend with a pomegranate tree that produces a lot of fruit that they weren’t using. Our neighbor knows that we love pomegranates so he bagged up a bunch of them for us!
I had already made enough jelly for the year so I wanted to do something different with this batch of fruit. After quite a bit of thought I decided to make pomegranate syrup. I figured this would be something that could be used for multiple different applications.

Last month I made blueberry jam. It is very tasty and now we are on the lookout for things to use it with. It is good on biscuits and pancakes, but we want dessert to put it on where it will truly allow the flavors to shine.
Here are five blueberry dessert recipes that we have either made or will try to make in the future.
1. Blueberry Cheesecake
I decided to start with our own recipe. This cheesecake was so good. It was smooth and creamy. The layer of blueberry jam added just enough flavor.
2. Blueberry Jammers
This recipe is from Dorie Greenspan’s book of cookie recipes. We own this book and have used it quite a few times. We have never made a bad cookie from these recipes.

It is not completely obvious within my blog posts about baking, but a lot of my posts are requests from my kids. Since they eat most of what I bake,…
Turkey and sate probably don't seem like they should go together, and at first, when I made these turkey sate eggrolls, I wasn't sure how they would taste. I'm also not a big fan of cabbage! I was pleasantly surprised that I actually liked these.
