Stracciatella was the perfect flavor for my trial of making ice cream without a machine. To mix it up, I used Nutella as the chocolate source not only because Nutella Stracciatella has such a nice ring to it but also because my Nutella-loving niece was visiting.

We didn’t miss the tahini in this tahini-less hummus. To round out the flavor and texture, I blended in some feta and then topped the hummus with olive oil, feta crumbles and a dash of paprika and cayenne pepper.

We liked our Clam Pasta from a while back so much that we made it with lemon chicken this time. It is a light and colorful pasta dish full of some of our favorite summer vegetables: zucchini, summer squash, peppers and tomatoes.

Celebrate peach season with a special breakfast {or dessert}: peaches and cream waffles. Sweet, juicy peaches and homemade whipped cream is a match made in heaven. Enjoy these waffles while you can because you’ll have to wait until next summer to have them again.

These yeast-leavened waffles are light and chewy and have the delicate aroma of fresh-baked bread. Serve them with the toppings of your choice.

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.

Turkey burgers have become a favorite in our household. When we recently made them we decided to make sliders. Sliders are the perfect size for kids and they allow the adults to make multiple burgers with a variety of toppings and condiments.

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.

I wanted to be able to enjoy the zucchinis that are in season {and get my son to eat the healthy green veggie} without also consuming an abundance of butter or oil. So I made zucchini bread with low-fat yogurt instead of oil. Between the grated zucchini and the yogurt the bread was incredibly moist and my family didn’t miss the oil at all.

Angel food cake is light and airy and will melt in your mouth, especially when served with fluffy whipped cream frosting. Its sweet, rich almond flavor goes well with fruits and berries and paired with its overall light texture makes it the perfect cake for summer.
