Gelato + Have a Beautiful Weekend

With the weather warming up, there's almost nothing better than a nice big bowl of ice cream, especially gelato to help cool you down. Yum!

Gelato, that Italian dessert staple, is ice cream made in the Italian style. Gelato is simply the Italian word for ice cream, but in English, it has come to mean specifically Italian or Italian-style ice cream. (Wikipedia)

I was introduced to gelato on a vacation trip to Italy (ages ago) and I've loved it ever since!

Here's how to make a delicious homemade gelato (Basic Gelato Recipe).

Hope you have a wonderful weekend! xx

I love cheese and cheese plates are my absolute favourite. Cheese is one of the things we never run out of here, or try not to anyway. If I had to eat one food for the rest of my life, it would be cheese. Hyperbolic? Maybe. But cheese is the one great food I'm never, ever bored of. Maybe my #2 New Year's resolution should be: "Eat more cheese."

I have been looking for a good cheese sauce recipe for a long time and I have...
