This light Mint Melon Salad Recipe is perfect for a summer cookout, or just to have on hand for a sweet snack. Years ago I remember seeing Giada make this melon salad on the Food Network and I knew right away that I had to try it.
Vanilla beans, strawberries and cream make this luscious dessert worthy of a standing O! Panna cotta is one of my FAVORITE desserts when prepared properly. It's such an easy dessert to make and it can easily be adapted with many different flavor profiles.
Ok folks, hope you are all enjoying your Cinco De Mayo recipes, but I have not forgotten that Mother's Day in only a few short days. Why not make your Mom the sweetest, light and airy angel foods cupcake you'll ever taste!
Two weeks ago, on a trip to Southern California for some food photography fun, I hit the passion fruit jackpot. I haven't been subtle about my lust for passion fruit, and sure enough, friends Todd and Diane had heard about my (small) obsession, and made a point to stop at a small produce store on our way to breakfast.
Chess pie is a Southern staple. If you're from the South, you've probably eaten chess pies on every major holiday since you were old enough to hold a fork. If you're not from the South, chances are you're thinking, "What the heck is chess pie?!?"
It takes a looooot of convincing to get me to eat fruit for dessert. As a self proclaimed chocolate spaz and as someone who desires desserts so rich that they make your teeth spring cavities in mere seconds, fruit rarely fits the bill. I lovelovelove fruit so much but IT IS NOT DESSERT.
Light pound cake. How's that for an oxymoron. Since most of us can't afford to eat a pound of butter and a pound of sugar, this is the next best thing. This is butter-less pound cake, for real. Instead of butter, I used I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!® Spread.
You can't go to our local hardware store on the weekends without seeing, and most of all smelling, the kettle corn cart outside that is always stacked high with fresh sweet and salty kettle corn pulling you in. It's the siren song of the popcorn world.
My daughter adores lemon desserts and I surprised her with these super soft cookies and very lemony cookies. The cookies are topped with a lemon glaze that adds to the pucker-up power and we couldn't get enough of them. They're a hybrid of a few recipes starting with cream cheese in cookie dough.
I've never been able to resist a cupcake. Especially a chocolate cupcake. It's just not going to happen. No matter how tight my pants are. Sigh. I'll just spend a little more time on the treadmill. Reading my kindle and perhaps eating another chocolate cupcake while I'm there.
