Dulce de Leche Ice Cream Cookie Sandwiches (Gluten Free)



The day I discovered Tate’s Bakeshop Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies was the day my life started anew. They are thin, crispy, chewy, buttery perfection. 

And want to know a secret? They are better than regular chocolate chip cookies. For serious. I don’t know how they did it, but they did it hard. 

I recently had a BBQ for friends and one of them was gluten intolerant. Instead of torturing her and making ice cream cookie sandwiches with regular cookies, I decided to use Tate’s gluten free cookies for everyone to rave reviews. The comment heard most "I would have never known these were gluten free! They are the best cookie sandwiches I've ever had."

And who doesn't want to feel like a kid again and chow down on an old fashioned ice cream cookie sandwich? I know I do. If you don't, well, maybe you should go back to where you came from. Mars, most likely. 

I rarely post recipes I don’t make from scratch...but they were just so good! Take my brand advice on this one, kids. You can find Tate's and So Delicious vanilla ice cream at Whole Foods. The La Salamandra Dulce de Leche is at Williams Sonoma. 

Treat yo-self!

    I love Tate's GF cookies, too, but I never even thought of doing this with them. I might also try it with their GF ginger cookies.

“My Sweet” Chorizo Con Papas Bake

  In the food world some things just belong together.  Peanut butter and jelly.  Macaroni and cheese.  Sweet potato and chorizo… rewind… sweet potato and chorizo? Yes, indeed. Sweet potato and chorizo is the ultimate pairing. One is sweet, unassuming and full of wholesome integrity. The other is spicy, daring and playful. When you put the two together it’s like Romeo and Juliet living happily ever after. It is the just ending to a rebellious love affair. This combination was originally conceived in Latin America with a humble dish called chorizo con papas traditionally served in a soft tortilla at breakfast time. I was like a conquistador conquering new land as I rummaged through the fridge craving breakfast for dinner. Laid out in front of me was Mexican chorizo, fresh cilantro, eggs and baby sweet potatoes. The perfect ingredients for what turned out to be the one of the best concoctions ever made in my kitchen.   My Sweet Chorizo Con ...

A Recipe to Fall For

Some recipes evoke an absolute carnal lust in me that transcends reasoning. My mouth waters frenziedly, my eyes get big, and my smile widens with the anticipation of the feast. These lust inducing meals usually involve bacon, cheese and pasta covered in luscious red sauce. I am fairly certain my lineage does not contain a trace of Italian, but my favorite foods are profoundly Italian-American like these Meatballs in Bacon Sauce by Chef Beau MacMillan.   This is not my recipe; however, I felt it deserved a special place on my blog after I dotingly made it for extended family on a recent ski trip to Whistler, Canada. The smell of the sauce simmering for hours, the gentle roasting of the simple meatballs and the absolute joy on the faces of everyone who ate it reminds me what Valentine’s Day is all about: love and family. If you make this for someone special tonight they will fall in love with you on the spot.  That is a fact. Happy Valentine’s Day! Sp...

Grilled Asparagus Salad with Fried Quail Eggs

The Baltimore Farmer’s Market was beaming with pride as the stalls opened for the season on Sunday morning, and it has good reason to be prideful. It was recently voted #1 Farmer’s Market in the nation by Country Living.   Since it was 7:00 am after a long night out I was appropriately armed with coffee, sun glasses, and hippy-ass reusable tote bags. Asparagus has been in the forefront of my thoughts since eating a memorably crisp asparagus salad at Woodberry Kitchen . When I saw a pile of garden-fresh spears I couldn’t resist getting a few bundles for the week as well as my fair share of blue kale, foraged mushrooms, spinach, organic quail eggs, ramps, and a multitude of other goodies.   It is going to be a wonderfully food-filled week. Grilled Asparagus Salad with Fried Quail Eggs utilizes many of the seasonal ingredients I scored at the market. It’s only lightly seasoned to give the ingredients the stage. Fresh tarragon is laced throughout and the yolk from the gent...
