These peanut butter balls are the easiest snack to make and a sure way to serve your kids some protein and calcium. They are also sweet enough to be a satisfying dessert.

For my niece’s birthday this past weekend, I made a soccer ball cake. The timing couldn’t have been better because a soccer ball cake is also perfect to celebrate the FIFA World Cup! The decorative process is straightforward but it takes some time and patience.

This cake has a rich buttery vanilla flavor but when compared with many other cakes, it is surprisingly not that bad for you. It is moist and great for building theme cakes and when paired with buttercream frosting it’s one of my family’s all-time favorite cake/cake pop combos.

These are a staple cookie in my household. They are a crowd-pleaser, easy to make and you can use whatever nuts or flavored morsels you have (such as M&M’s, white chocolate chips or peanut butter chips).

These cookies are reminiscent of strawberry shortcake and offer another way to use fresh strawberries when they are in season. They are simple yet striking, and extremely easy to decorate. I love the fact that the strawberries give them a natural splash of bright red so there’s no need to use sprinkles or food coloring.

Kids love these cookies because they are tasty, colorful and full of M&M’s. Plus, the addition of the oatmeal gives them a chewy texture and a healthy dose of fiber.

This recipe comes from my Great Aunt Gladys, and my mom has been making it since before I was born. I love the fact that it is filled with fresh, uncooked strawberries. My aunt traditionally made it with an easy coconut pie crust but I like to use my Coconut Macaroon Tartlet Shells for a chewier (and butter-less) crust.

I have been making these for a long time and they have never let me down. They are bite-sized, refreshing and the perfect combination of sweet, creamy and tart.

I love the coconut macaroon tart shells so much that I decided to fill them with a simple combo of sliced strawberries and homemade whipped cream. They are light, refreshing, and offer an alternative to strawberry shortcake when strawberries are in season.

This coconut macaroon tart shell would be a great crust for many pies and tarts. It is quick and easy to mix it together and press it into the pans. Fill the tart shells with pudding, fruit or any other filling of your choice.
