Berry crumbles/crisps are one of my favorite desserts, especially in the heat of the summer, because the fruit takes center stage while a sweet and delicate oatmeal streusel tops it off. It offers the flavors of berry pie that I love but in a lighter and healthier form.
Chocolate and zucchini seems like an unlikely combo but it actually works. It’s a sneaky way to add some nutrients to your chocolate muffins and it’s a decadent way to serve zucchini to your family.
This lightly sweet blueberry frozen yogurt is a refreshing and healthy snack or dessert. I can’t wait to try making it with other fruits and berries, too!
This PB&J parfait transforms one of my favorites – a peanut butter & jam sandwich – into a parfait that triples as a hearty breakfast, healthy snack and wholesome dessert. The options for pb&j combos are endless with different fruit and granola toppings.
Treats don’t get any easier or guilt-free than this refreshing one ingredient {chocolate milk} ice cream. In soft-serve form it reminds my family of a Wendy’s frosty yet when completely frozen it still forms into nice ice cream scoops.
I used a combination of cocoa powder and semi-sweet chocolate chips which resulted in a mellow chocolate flavor, perfect for my Neapolitan ice cream. But the best part about homemade chocolate ice cream is that you can use your favorite chocolate: milk chocolate, dark chocolate or any other specialty chocolate.
Happy National Ice Cream Day! We like to celebrate ice cream all year long but being that July is National Ice Cream Month and today is the actual ice cream day, I wanted to share with you something special: Homemade Neapolitan Ice Cream Sandwiches.
This year we kicked off summer with strawberry ice cream. In addition to our inaugural strawberry shortcake, we transformed some of the juicy red berries from the berry patch into a sweet and refreshing frozen treat.
Patriotic Pop-Tarts are the perfect 4th of July treat. Raspberry jam “stripes” and blueberry “stars” give natural color to these little American flag hand pies.
Homemade pop-tarts {little breakfast pastries filled with berries and/or jams and glazed with icing} are much more appetizing than the store-bought versions. And for special a treat, it’s your opportunity to eat little pies for breakfast!
