As I happily continue with my  Foodie Reads Challenge , I am sharing  The Ice Cream Queen of Orchard Street  by Susan Jane Gilman as my third, and probably final, June read .* I might be able to squeeze in one more book this month. Maybe.  In any case, I had a gift certificate to a local bookstore (yes, we still have one!) from Christmas and this one caught my eye. We love ice cream and I thought this might be a nice novel wrapped around one of our favorite summer treats. I took it with me this past weekend. So, while the boys splashed in the pool at the hotel, I raced through this book. On the Page... The Ice Cream Queen of Orchard Street  spans seven decades, following Malva Treynovsky from when she and her family immigrate to the United States in 1913 from Russia to her transformation to Lillian Maria Dinello and, finally, her ascension to Ice Cream Queen status as Lillian Dunkle.  This really is a rags to riches tale about a young imm...

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of  Moms Meet .  I received complimentary product for the purpose of review, but all opinions are honest and they are my own. Compensation for this post was provided and this page may contain affiliate links. Two things I want to say before I start: First, we are huge ice cream fans. Huge...as in we plan stops on road trips based on what towns have good ice cream parlors. It doesn't matter if it's the middle of winter or it's ten o'clock at night, we'll stop for ice cream if there's a good spot! Second, I have tried Arctic Zero Fit Frozen Dessert Pints before and was not completely sold on the idea. But  when  the opportunity arose - through my association with  Moms Meet  - to try Arctic Zero again, I agreed.  About Arctic Zero... Based in San Diego, California, Greg Holtman was inspired to create Arctic Zero for his mom, a Type 1 diabetic. His family has always loved dessert...

Welcome to #EatLikeAnEgyptian! Today we are having fun exploring our favorite Egyptian cuisine recipes to commemorate the holiday of Eid-el-Fitr, which begins at sundown. Thanks to Sue - of Palatable Pastime  - for coordinating the event! Aish Baladi  from Karen’s Kitchen Stories Baklava  from All That’s Jas Egyptian Feta Spread  from Cooking with Carlee Egyptian Mint Limeade  from Culinary Adventures with Camilla Ful Medames  from Caroline’s Cooking Lahma Bil Basal  from A Day in the Life on the Farm Macaroni Bechamel  from Palatable Pastime Many years ago - actually more than seven years ago from looking at the ticket photo - my boys were fascinated by the ancient Egyptians. We read books about them and watched documentaries about them. Oddly, I think I remember going to the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum in San Jose when I was about that same age.  And it just so happened that the Tutankhamun exhibit landed in San Francisc...

Every now and then, a sponsor approaches me with an idea that just makes my little foodie heart jump with glee. When Charles Viancin enlisted my help to help them reveal some of their new Summer products, I gathered a few of my favorite bloggers to celebrate the Summer Equinox with a progressive potluck.  With the help of Charles Viancin, we set a lovely summery table for you. And the Republic of Tea added to the fun with one of their brand-new iced teas, the Organic Black Currant Rosemary Large Iced Tea Pouches . Some of us have incorporated that into our recipes as well. The Bloghop Schedule...    If you didn't follow along as we shared recipes for a delicious, five-course meal, or even if you have, you'll find all of the yummy links here. The bloggers shared recipes, posted their thoughts about the Charles Viancin product, and are providing the chance for readers to win a prize package from our sponsor. Read about their drinkware line , the air-tig...
