Glazed Summer Fruit Salad

With the Fourth of July coming up, I thought I would share an easy and crowd pleasing side dish/dessert that you can throw together at the last minute.  My mom has been making this fruit salad for years and years and it always gets gobbled up in a hurry.  The secret ingredient is pudding mix, […]

Fresh Blueberry Buttermilk Cake

A month or so ago, we had a social during our Sunday School class and everyone brought a breakfast item.  My friend Courtney brought this blueberry breakfast cake and I just couldn’t get enough of it! She was so sweet to send me home with some and I asked her for the recipe.  She pointed […]

Strawberry Blueberry Agua Fresca

Ever since I had agua fresca in a taco shop when we went to San Francisco a couple of years ago, I’ve been wanting to replicate it at home and it’s the perfect time to do it with all the fresh fruit in season! And in case you were wondering, Agua Fresca is spanish for […]

Fresh Strawberry Cake

For Mother’s Day my mom asked me to make her a dessert with strawberries or some sort of fruit.  Immediately a crumb cake type dessert came to my mine.  This cake was moist and flavorful but not too rich and it really highlighted the strawberries.  Everyone but me topped it with whipped cream (I’m not […]

Cranberry & Pear Relish

Need a last minute addition to your Thanksgiving table?

I’ve tried and tried to break […]

Peach Lemonade

Fresh ripe juicy peaches just scream summer don’t they!?! They are so refreshing even by themselves in this hot hot weather.  I saw this recipe in Cooking Light recently and had it on my calendar to make when peaches came in at their peak.  I then saw it pop up on several sites since then […]

Holiday Detox Smoothie

I don’t know about you, but I definitely ate my share of heavy carbs, cheese, cookies & candy over the week of Christmas & New Year’s.  While it all tasted amazing, it left me feeling tired and overloaded from all of that heavy food and I needed something to detox from all that overindulgance.  When […]

Whole Grain Strawberry Pop-Tart Scones

I love scones and I thought it would be a perfect thing to wake up to on Labor Day, especially since I made them the day before and didn’t have to get up early to make them!! I’m not an early riser on a regular day, let alone a holiday! 🙂 These were really delicious! […]

Baked Oatmeal with Fresh Peaches

As I’ve posted before, I am not a huge fan of oatmeal. I have come to tolerate it some, but it’s definitely not my favorite. So I thought baked oatmeal would be a nice alternative. After getting some wonderful peaches at a local produce spot, I thought it would be great to add in peaches. […]

Strawberry Limeades

Raise your hand if you love Sonic’s Cherry Limeades?!?! I do!! They are the best thing to quench a thirst after a long day laying out in the sun!:) These are a great addition to any party and your guests will love them! I opted to make Strawberry instead of Cherry because I love strawberries […]
