What is a peach crisp? There are several desserts that are sort of similar and popular when it comes to summer fruit. There’s cobbler, crumbles and crisps. They are all a little similar and a little different. All three have a fruit base and then some sort of sweetened topping that has flour. A cobbler,…
If you’re looking for something akin to a zucchini pizza or a summery side dish, this goat cheese and zucchini galette is perfect. It screams summer eating. What is a galette? If you’ve never had one, it’s sort of like a free form pie or a tart. It’s a pie crust but there is no…
What are peach rolls? Pretty much everyone on the planet has had a cinnamon roll or knows what it is. But a lot of people are newer to the concept of a sweet roll. Essentially it’s a cinnamon roll with a different filling. Sweet rolls can be filled with anything! Chocolate, jam, fruit, the possibilities…
Maybe I’m wrong, but I feel like strawberry daiquiri is one of those alcoholic drinks that so many people try when they first start drinking. I remember being like 12 and seeing them in a restaurant and thinking wow that looks delicious! Then getting to order a virgin one and feeling sooo cOoL. That being…
I grew up eating cobblers. I remember eating them at my uncles house with berries picked from the yard. To me, a cobbler is world’s apart from a pie, but a lot of people would put them in the same class. I think the lineage goes pie – galette – crisp or cobbler. That’s just…
S’mores. I’d say a summer staple but really to me just a campfire/bonfire basic. This s’mores ice box cake is what I’d call a summer staple. It takes s’mores flavors and turns them into a cold summer treat. It doesn’t require an oven, or really even a mixer but that will speed up the making…
If you like piña coladas… just kidding, I don’t like that song. When you imagine a piña colada, you imagine summer and probably poolside. A big frosty glass probably with a cherry or pineapple garnish (maybe both!). Really, just living your best life. At least that’s what my brain goes to. So I wanted to…
If you’ve never had a braided bread, you’re probably in the majority. There are quite a few recipes for breads filled with lemon curd out on the internet and it’s probably the most popular. One of my favorite appetizers is a crostini with goat cheese, prosciutto, honey, arugula and grapes. It was kind of the…
I love making most things from scratch. I like baking and it gives me a lot of satisfaction to look at a loaf of bread or a fancy cake and know I started with just ingredients and made something delicious and beautiful. But, sometimes I’m all about shortcuts. Lasagna? You will not catch me making…
To me, a galette is superior to a pie. Mainly because pie crust can be fussy, my edge designs never stay pretty when I parbake, etc. The galette crust is fine if it’s a little bit uneven, it’s supposed to look rustic. Less work, same taste. Works for me! This balsamic roasted strawberry galette is…
Is anyone else with me that the pre-packaged Rice Krispies treats DO NOT taste nearly as good.. or honestly even remotely like the homemade ones. Yes it’s marshmallow and rice cereal but something is off. I’ve known it since I was a kid and would only eat homemade ones like a brat. But honestly, can…
Ice box cake isn’t really a cake, and it actually doesn’t go in the freezer like you might be lead to believe by the name. It actually just chills in the fridge for a little bit while the ingredients do all the work. It’s an incredibly simple NO BAKE dessert with a lot of wow…
