Shave ice is commonly thought of as a Hawaiian specialty, and though this is now true, its origins actually trace back to Japan where it is known as kakigori. Now variations of shaved ice can be found all around the world.

I’ve been wanting to make cake pops for a long time now. They are the perfect little bite-sized treat to satisfy your sweet craving, a creative way to use left-over cake and frosting, and cute little party favors or gifts. They also make a fun edible art project for kids.

Butter clams are mixed with turkey sausage and vegetables in this flavorful and colorful pasta dish. You can make it with store-bought clams but if you do have the opportunity to go clamming, you’ll enjoy your meal even more.

Given my son’s ongoing interest in all the colors of the rainbow, I decided to incorporate the rainbow into our dessert. A thin, chewy sugar cookie topped with refreshing lemon curd makes the sun and an array of summer’s fruits makes the rainbow.

S’mores and ice cream, two of my favorite things. The s’mores ice cream sandwiches that I made last summer for National Ice Cream Day were such a hit that I decided to make s’mores ice cream this year to celebrate the yummy summer holiday.

It is easy to turn any bread {sweet or savory} into little turtles. I kneaded chocolate chips into my dough to make the turtle extra special and I decorated it with a powdered sugar glaze. Needless to say that my son was super excited when he saw a turtle coming out of the oven!

An icy popsicle coats a creamy ice cream center to create a refreshing and nostalgic frozen treat. I had a berry puree of raspberries, strawberries and POG (Passion-Orange-Guava juice) from some other Popsicles I made and some homemade French vanilla ice cream. It turns out that this is a divine combo.

Happy 4th of July! Simply serve the cake of your choice with blueberries, strawberries and homemade whipped cream for an easy and festive red, white and blue dessert. I used an angel food cake because it is light and perfect for the heat of the summer.

Rice Krispie Treats are great for summer parties, barbeques and potlucks because they are quick, easy and always a crowd-pleaser. For the 4th of July I added red and blue M&M’s for a fun red, white and blue treat. I cut them into stars and flags to fit the theme.

Parfait, French for “perfect,” is traditionally a French dessert. In the United States it has transitioned into a healthy and filling breakfast or snack, typically made with yogurt, granola and berries. In the spirit of the 4th of July I layered strawberry, vanilla and blueberry yogurts with homemade granola to create a festive red, white and blue breakfast.
