Buttermilk Syrup


This is seriously so good my family practically licked the pan clean! I would use a really big sauce pan because the baking soda makes it really bubbly. It goes down after it is done cooking.


  • 1/2 cup butter

  • 1 cup sugar

  • 1 cup buttermilk

  • 1 Tablespoon Vanilla

  • 1 Tablespoon corn syrup

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda



  1. Bring butter, sugar, buttermilk, vanilla, corn syrup and cinnamon to a simmer in a large saucepan over medium-high heat.

  2. Once simmering, whisk in baking soda and cook for 10 seconds before removing from heat. Serve warm.

  3. Also I made it before I started on the waffles and that way I could watch it and make sure it doesn't burn or boil over. It was still hot when we ate dinner.

Toasted Marshmallow Shake

Okay So I meant to take a picture but the shake didn't last long enough! One minute I had a cup full of yummy marshmallow goodness and the next I had a empty cup. I got this recipe from my Spike Mendelsohn : The Good Stuff Cookbook. He was on Top Chef and it is a great cookbook, it has tons of recipes for burgers, fries, shakes, and lots of other yummy stuff.




  • So you will need:

  • 1 -16 ounce bag Jumbo Marshmallows

  • 2 Cups whole milk

  • 2 Cups creamy vanilla Ice cream

  • 1 Tablespoon sour cream

  • Serves 4


Preheat the broiler. Reserve 4 marshmallows for garnish. So spread out remaining marshmallows on baking sheet in a single layer. Place the baking sheet under the broiler and cook, stirring once or twice, until completely charred, 2-3. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool. Repeat with the remaining 4 marshmallows, but cook just until toasted slightly golden, about 1 minute. Remove from oven and set aside to cool. Add the Milk, ice cream, sour cream, and burnt marshmallows to a blender. Blend for 5 minutes. Pour into four 8 ounce glasses and garnish each glass with a golden marshmallow.
