You guys. I'm so excited about today's post because there are so many good things to talk about! First of all, Mother's Day is just around the corner, and I've teamed up with my friends at Fair Trade USA (along with some other fabulous bloggers) for a virtual Mother's Day brunch.
Motivation to get back into the kitchen!
Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream Bars-chocolate chip cookie bars topped with chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream. A drizzle of hot fudge is highly recommended! A few weeks ago I posted a recipe for Toffee Ice Cream Brownie Bars.
Crowd pleasing Frozen Lemon Meringue Pie sandwiched with layers of raspberry creamsicle ice cream all nestled in a toasted pecan crust is the perfect refreshingly delicious stress-free make ahead dessert for all your poolside/barbecue/Memorial Day get togethers.
There is absolutely nothing more comforting than grilled cheese & tomato soup. Nothing. This is a slightly fancier, significantly tastier version of a well loved classic. It all sounds like a bit of a faff... but I assure you, it's actually incredibly simple and well worth the effort.
A lemon sugar cookie stuffed with a sweet vanilla bean ice cream and then rolled in toasted coconut. These Lemon and Toasted Coconut Ice Cream Sandwiches are the perfect summer treat! Lemons are one of my favorite fruits. Is that really weird? Is lemon even considered to be a fruit?
Watch how to make this decadent-tasting but actually fat-free cake. Angel food cake might taste decadent, but did you know it's a fat-free cake? In this video, you'll learn how to make angel food cake from scratch. You'll find out the secret that makes angel food cake as light as a cloud.
Baking French macarons makes me feel powerful, clever-brilliant even. The amount of care these lovely little cookies require may be daunting, but once you make patisserie-worthy macarons in your own kitchen, you'll be hooked. I always walk away feeling as though I've accomplished something grandiose, and that's a day-making feeling.
You might not have time to travel, but you should always have time for breakfast.
