Hello and welcome to this thing we’re doing where we help you figure out what you’re gonna put in your mouth this week. Some of these are recipes we’ve tried, some of these are recipes we’re looking forward to trying, all of them are fucking delicious. Tell us what you want to put in your piehole or suggest your own recipes, and we’ll talk about which things we made, which things we loved, and which things have changed us irreversibly as people. Last week, we ate a bunch of spicy things.
I’ve opened with a pile of recipes for vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, egg-free or paleo ice creams, because not eating fun things is the worst and fuck everyone with fully functional digestive systems. (Recipes for people will fully functional digestive systems follow.) If you don’t have an ice cream machine there are a few ways around it, using a bag of ice and a hand mixer, or just a bag of ice. (Serious Eats also has a guide to making vegan ice cream.) There are also a few things to make with already existing ice cream you have made or purchased, because looking at photos of rainbow-sprinkle-covered ice cream bars is very soothing.
I hope this isn’t too forward of me, but I love you.
Due to my asthma turning into a bitch, I switched over to Paleo in February, and while I feel monumentally better healthwise, I feel tiny tears of loss spring to my eyes every time I walk by an ice cream parlor.
Just, Thank You!
I might even invest into an ice cream maker after the reading of this article!
thank you for doing goddess’ work, carolyn. this is so important.
“…recipes for vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, egg-free or paleo ice creams…”
This is great but one group of people with dietary restrictions is missing: diabetics. No sugar in your desserts is a big pain in the ass, and I know this from experience.
looks like #4 and 5 might be worth taking a look at, based on their titles!
And the first one! Banana “ice cream” is totes sugar free and surprisingly delish
And just before my partner’s birthday. Can’t wait to try some. The stout with pretzels one is genius!
Melts like the ice cream. This is excellent, thank you.
Oh bless you Carolyn for putting the dietary restriction ones first rather than in the middle somewheres.
