I recently made my pumpkin bread in the form of mini muffins. With the addition of chopped walnuts on top and a layer of cream cheese frosting in the middle, I transformed some of them into little cupcake bites, perfect for a dessert party or an afternoon treat.

This gingerbread can come in the form of cupcakes, mini cupcakes, or a 9×13 loaf. It is yummy plain but I love the addition of the cream cheese frosting.

I love this pie during summer and I love this pie during winter (when I’m dreaming of summer). The “little wild blackberries” are the perfect combination of tart and sweet. If you don’t have wild Pacific blackberries you can use the berry of your choice.

Huevos rancheros is a popular Mexican dish consisting of fried eggs on top of lightly-fried corn tortillas, all smothered in cooked salsa. My family’s version of this Mexican breakfast incorporates warmed homemade corn tortillas, chunks of chicken, black beans, fried eggs, salsa verde and cilantro.

There is something about homemade ice cream which is simply the best. Fortunately, making ice cream is so easy these days. You can stir the ice cream to reach your desired consistency. A word of warning, though: if you take a bite while it’s at milkshake or soft-serve consistency, you may never finish stirring it. It’s that good.

The sweetness of the powdered sugar goes perfectly with the tartness of the lemon in these buttery lemon bars. I like to cut them into small squares because though the burst of lemon is refreshing, the bars are very rich.

Making your own lemonade is easy and allows you to control how much sugar is in it. You can make a large batch and store it in the refrigerator or make it to order by the glass. This rendition of lemonade is tart but you can add more sugar to taste.
