I have always loved lemon curd for the intense sunburst hit of citrus that it brings to the table. I like this Cooking Light recipe because it calls for very little butter compared to other recipes so it is still light and refreshing while maintaining a spreadable consistency…all in all, the perfect balance between lemon curd and lemon filling.

These sugar cookies have always been favorites of mine. Do not be deceived by their thickness because though they are thin they are not hard and crispy. But they aren’t puffy and cake-like, either.

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!

This pasta dish is a great way to turn leftover salmon into a new meal. Plus, since the salmon is in small flakes and tossed with a lot of other ingredients, it is a sneaky way to get your family to stock up on heart-healthy omega-3’s.

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.
