Strawberry Agua Fresca

Strawberry Agua Fresca

I mentioned on Facebook that Mike and I picked 16 pounds of strawberries on the weekend. (As a side note, after spending the winter drinking smoothies made from berries we’d picked and frozen the previous summer, Mike is now...

Father’s Day Favorites

In honor of Father’s Day, I thought I would post some of my dad’s favorite recipes that have appeared on my blog. I tend to like to experiment when my parents come to visit, and he would prefer that...

Soft and Chewy Chocolate M&M Cookies

Soft and Chewy Chocolate M&M Cookies

I love cookies. If you search the cookie tag of this blog you’ll see irrefutable evidence of this fact. I’d choose a thick and chewy cookie (these are my current favorite!) over almost any other kind of dessert. The...

Lemon Mousse

Lemon Mousse

Orange Creamsicle Fruit Dip

Memorial Day is coming up and I’ve got just the recipe for all those family get togethers. This orange creamsicle fruit dip is light and sweet and actually tastes a lot like an Orange Julius! I can’t be the...

Thick and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

  I’m sorry about this. If anyone is on a diet, this is a good time to stop reading this post. Check back in a few days and maybe I will have posted a nice healthy salad. Not likely,...
