Please be sure to check out their recipes and give them a try soon!   I’m breaking the rules right off to let you know that when it comes to {Read More}

Piña Colada Ice Cream + an Ice Cream Social!

Pina Coloada Ice Cream

Someone really needs to slap the coconut out of my hands. I’m addicted. It’s a good thing too, because I had a craving for some type of fruity and rich ice cream. Then I remembered how much I love the creamy tropical goodness of a Piña Colada; and the Piña Colada Ice Cream was born. It’s full of crushed pineapple, shredded coconut, cream, and just a hint of rum extract {yeah, it’s kid friendly too!}. Then, because I’m so smart, {Read More}

Whole Grain Cherry Almond Scones

Cherry Almond Scones

Can I tell you a secret? Come close. closer… I had never eaten a scone before I made these Whole Grain Cherry Almond Scones. I feel as though a whole world has been opened up to me. A world of pretty napkins and sipping drinks while holding my pinkie finger way up high. Since I am absolutely in love with cherries right now I thought I would stuff some plump juicy cherries into these wonderfully light and fluffy scones, along {Read More}

Sweet Cherry Crisp

Sweet Cherry Crisp

I am loving cherry season! With cherries as cheap as .97 cents per pound, I am finding all sorts of ways to incorporate those sweet little bits of fruit into my everyday life. One of my favorite desserts is a Crisp, or a Crumble, either way call it… it is dang good. Sweet fruit on the bottom with a crispy crumbly oat topping. With ice cream…it’s magical. Back in the day before I had children, {and The Man and I {Read More}

Dark Chocolate Covered Cherry Frozen Yogurt

Chocolate Covered Cherry Frozen Yogurt

It is officially hotter than Hades here in Arizona. And it’s only going to get hotter. Then I remembered that waaaaay in the back of my cupboard I had an ice cream maker. So I did the logical thing and made frozen yogurt. Fro-yo is my all time favorite frozen treat. I’m kind of weird like that. Ice cream is just too creamy sometimes and leaves me begging for a glass of water, and a treadmill. But Frozen Yogurt is the {Read More}

Is it Pina Colada weather yet? Well, I don’t drink the hard stuff, but the creamy, slushy mixture of coconut and pineapple tends to bring out the giggles in me. No alcohol needed for these cute little guys! Just a fun twist on your classic coconut macaroon. A creamy and fruity cookie that is quick to make and will disappear even quicker at your next tropical themed party! By adding those sweet bits of pineapple to this cookie, you get a burst of {Read More}

Cherry Pie on a stick? How much better can life get!! Covered in chocolate and sprinkles too? Now that’s just insane!  Oh yeah, I forgot to mention… I’m insane! These were the perfect little treat for my kiddos. They loved helping out the whole way thru. Letting them cool was probably the hardest part for them! I got this cute idea out of that awesome Better Homes and Gardens Holiday Baking magazine. Instead of cherry pie, they used a peach filling, and made them {Read More}
