Summer time means lots of friends gathering in backyards, on patios and by pools. When I entertain I usually make really simple recipes that don’t require being in the kitchen away from my guests. However no one said simple has to mean boring! I love fresh fruit in the summer, who doesn’t? I mean I probably …
I love watermelon, like so much that I could eat entire melons by myself every summer. I love it when you cut it open and its bright red and you just know that flavor is going to taste like summer in your mouth. mmm… I’ve decided i’m going to do a lot of watermelon recipes …
I love a good trifle, especially in the summer when I crave a fresh and light dessert. Normally I just make some fresh whipped cream to go into trifles but I got creative and made this cream layer with marscarpone. I don’t think I’ll ever make plain whipped cream again. Seriously marscarpone is like a …
The 4th of July always sneaks up on me, maybe its because we go to Nashville to visit family the last week of June (we are leaving this Wednesday) or because it’s at the very beginning of the month, but either way I’m normally just not prepared. This year I have been working on coming …
I do love a cute treat with an even cuter printable, so I designed this fun flat treat bag for the 4th of July for you. I originally tried to coat twizzlers in white candy coating to make the white stripes but the candy coating kept flaking off the the twizzlers so it didn’t look …
Peanut butter and chocolate might be my favorite combination. Actually i’m pretty sure it is, Reese’s stole my heart at a young age and I’ve been spreading nutella and peanut butter on bread for the last 10 years and it is one of my favorite “snacks”. I have serious sympathy for anyone who is allergic …
Oh a donut, a donut I love a donut. My favorite donut shop in Kansas City is Donut King and last Saturday I made a stop. I really need to starting eating healthier. ha! Anyway I picked up 3 dozen for the sales guys that work for Matt and took them down to the office …
Does summer have a taste to you? I always know that its truly summer when I’m eating watermelon all the time. This recipe doesn’t have anything to do with watermelon but you know that feeling when you’re eating something and it just is perfectly made for that time of year? Fruits of the season, if …
Bread Pudding. Seriously I love a good bread pudding. There is this place here in KC that makes the best bread pudding, I keep trying to re-create it and my versions are always good but not quite what theirs is, darn it! ha. This recipe has been in my file for a few years now …
I really like cream, can you tell? The berries & cream panna cotta I posted last week is not all that different from this tart. Light, delicious and perfect for a refreshing summer treat. I love the crust on this tart, its made with almonds and tastes more like a cookie than a crust. yum. Welcome …
I have a friend who says she would give up all meals to keep dessert, I’m totally with her. Somedays all I want is dessert, its my weakness. I always see recipes for rhubarb desserts and had never tried any of them so this year I got adventurous and threw it into this compote. So …
