Growing up I recall Lemon Bars being at just about every summer get together. Whether it was a cookout or a baby shower, they were there. It's the ultimate summer sweet treat! I've always loved lemon drop candies. That white paper bag always stood out in the candy aisle.
These Buttermilk Biscuits are the perfect fluffy biscuit to enjoy with any meal. Fill with bacon, sausage, country ham, or fried chicken for the best breakfast biscuits! Our daughter is settled in her dorm and we're gearing up for our son to start his senior year in high this week.
As a child, I spent long, happy hours on lazy afternoons searching the clouds for familiar shapes. Puffy whales, fat kittens, and bumpy dinosaurs made frequent appearances. Now, every time I look up, I see big, fluffy slices of Lemon Poppy Seed Cake. Lemon Poppy Seed Cake reminds me of a cloud in every way.
This recipe is long overdue and I feel bad for not sharing it sooner. Blueberry pies are probably more of a spring and summer thing and here I am posting this recipe at the very end of August. But you know it's always warm somewhere, right?
Here's me, trying to create a healthy dessert recipe: Paleo-leaning sister gives me the idea for 2-ingredient vegan frosting back in the fall. (Solidified coconut milk + dairy-free chocolate.) Sit on the idea for months. Finally break down and throw a can of coconut milk in my fridge.
These perfect parfaits are SUPER easy to throw together. Only 4 ingredients in the cheesecake part. They are a cool summer treat for a BBQ or block party! So I went to probably the classiest garage sale of my life this weekend. You know. Rothko paintings. JCrew shirts. Free lemonade.
Calling all peanut butter lovers! I have a right royal treat for you today. Introducing my Peanut Butter and Chocolate Layer Cake, complete with soft, cocoa-filled cakes, a generous slathering of creamy peanut butter buttercream, a secret layer or two of strawberry jam (for a little bit of peanut butter and jelly action) and a flood of dark chocolate ganache.
The classic combination of beer and nuts, how could you say no to that? Well...I could, since I can't eat nuts and I'm not a huge beer drinker. (Don't hate me!) But the concept of a 'Beer & Nut' themed recipe has been on my to-do list for some time now.
I am revisiting one of my first blog entries today (and probably one of my most requested desserts!) I am talking about Lindt Lindor chocolate mousse! So rich and creamy, but honestly the perfect dessert for chocolate-lovers! I cannot get enough of this stuff, and even the non-chocolate-lovers in my life cannot deny this recipe (I am looking at a certain brother...)
Pound cake has become my go-to cake when I need an easy to throw together dessert. It doesn't take long to get into the oven, provided you have softened butter available(I always keep about a pound out. The need for cake is frequent in this house).
