What I'm Making for Father's Day


I love summer and celebrating with family. It's the best time for homemade hamburger buns, ice cream, and watermelon.

This week, there is something for everybody--hamburger buns for the bread makers, creme fraiche ice cream for the yogurt makers, and espresso (or coffee) ice cream for coffee lovers. If you like watermelon like I do, check out this post for "How To Pick the Perfect Watermelon" by Rachel Teodoro. Her method works better for me than thumping.

Bread Machine Hamburger Buns

These Bread Machine Hamburger Buns are conveniently mixed and kneaded in a bread machine. Fresh potatoes are the secret ingredient.

Easy Espresso Ice Cream

This easy Espresso Ice Cream Recipe is simple, uncooked, and makes about 1 quart. I like to make it in a Donvier Hand-Crank Freezer, but you could just as easily use an electric freezer.

Creme Fraiche Ice Cream with Nutella Flakes

You can make or buy creme fraiche and add it to this sweet ice cream along with Nutella "flakes," which I'll tell you how to make in this post.

Soft Serve Yogurt Creami

Thankfully, Greek yogurt is good for most people. To my yogurt-loving friends, Confession time: I’ve been eating these homemade frozen yogurt treats almost every day for the past three years—yes, even in the winter. They’re made with Greek yogurt (homemade, in my case), milk (dairy or non-dairy), and just a few mix-ins. Then they’re spun into something creamy and scoopable using a small machine called the Ninja Creami. It’s not your average ice cream maker—this one blends the yogurt after...

Slow Cooker Swiss Steak--in white serving dish; ready-to-serve

Thank you to everyone who wrote in with slow cooker suggestions. Most of you shared models you’re using and loving, and I appreciated every single note. If I wasn’t familiar with a brand or model, I looked it up! It’s always more helpful to hear from real cooks than from some roundup article listing the “10 Best Whatevers,” especially when the author hasn’t even tried the products—or got them free in exchange for a glowing review. As I researched, I quickly realized that my needs might not be...

Do you ever find yourself in a nostalgic mood?
