Summer is almost here, and we are celebrating the sweetest flavors of the season on Live! From Jasper's Kitchen with special guest Zach Doerfler from Betty Rae's.
Inspired by a real grandmother who had a whimsical spirit for invention and preparing delicious treats, this neighborhood ice cream shop has been mixing recipes from scratch for almost 10 years in Kansas City.
Betty’s flavors were meant to be shared with all. Now with 12 neighborhood locations and in Omaha along with a traveling ice cream truck, we’re continuing to share Betty’s tasty gifts with many more. If you like joy and nostalgia-inspired flavors or live life on the sweeter side, then consider yourself a friend of Betty.
Today, we are talking all about a flavor that brings together pure nostalgia, comfort, and a little Italian magic in every bite. Jasper's Cannoli Ice Cream is back at Betty Rae's, and we have all the SCOOP. Imagine mascarpone and ricotta blended into a rich frozen cream with hints of orange and cinnamon, then finished with mini chocolate chips, tart cherries, and crunchy pistachios. It is everything you love about a classic Italian cannoli transformed into an unforgettable ice cream experience.
Created in collaboration with Jasper's, this seasonal favorite has become one of those flavors Kansas City waits for every year. Today, Zach joins us to share how this incredible flavor comes together and why people just cannot get enough of it.
Kansas City, get ready because something big is happening at @jarochokc , one of the most exciting seafood destinations in the Midwest. For years, Jarocho has been delivering bold, authentic flavors straight from the coast of Mexico, building a reputation for pristine seafood, vibrant dishes, and a dining experience that feels like a getaway without leaving town. And now, they are turning up the heat once again.
Joining us today on Live! From Jasper's Kitchen is the one and only Carlos Falcon, the chef behind the magic, the flavor, and the fire. Chef Falcon has become a true Kansas City favorite, known for his passion, his creativity, and his deep connection to traditional coastal Mexican cuisine. From unforgettable ceviches to beautifully prepared whole fish, he has helped redefine what seafood can be in this city. And now, he is back in the spotlight with exciting new lunch specials that people are already talking about all over town.
And here is the big announcement you have been waiting for… EL BRUNCHO is taking over Jarocho. This is not your average brunch. We are talking all you can eat small plates, bottomless drinks, and the return of Chef Falcon in full force. This is a celebration of flavor, energy, and everything that makes Jarocho special. Come hungry, stay thirsty, and get ready for something Kansas City will not forget.
Talking Cinnamon Rolls today on Live! From Jasper’s Kitchen. Today we are in the kitchen studio, enjoying one of life’s great comforts. Warm, soft, fresh from the oven cinnamon rolls. The kind that stop you in your tracks, fill the kitchen with that sweet aroma, and take you right back to childhood.
Now here is the big question we asked across the metro. Where is the best place to get a cinnamon roll in Kansas City?
After tens of thousands of votes from readers of The Kansas City Star, the answer is in Belton, Missouri. A small cottage bakery with a big heart. Granny’s Bakery, owned by Christy Weilert.
Her story is about passion, family, and a grandmother who inspired it all. From baking side by side with her Grams to building a thriving community of loyal customers, Christy has turned cinnamon rolls into something much more than just a pastry. They are a connection to memory, tradition, and love.but, we will be discussing her sweet breads, muffins, cakes and more.
And just weeks after the passing of her grandmother, the very woman who inspired it all, we are honored to have her here today to share her story.

Happy National Chocolate Chip Day.
Did you know chocolate chips were invented in 1933 when Ruth Graves Wakefield of the Toll House Inn in the town of Whitman, Massachusetts added cut-up chunks of a semi-sweet Nestlé chocolate bar to a cookie recipe?
Original Nestlé Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookies
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2 cups (12-oz. pkg.) NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels
1 cup chopped nuts
PREHEAT oven to 375° F.
COMBINE flour, baking soda and salt in small bowl. Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract in large mixer bowl until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in morsels and nuts. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased baking sheets.
BAKE for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.
