Today I have an EASY PEACH TREAT. (Say that fast 3 times!)
This treat only has 3 ingredients and very little preparation. So you can even make it for a mid-week dessert! You can also make it any time of the year and it is great and it is also good for you!
So does anyone else want to make a fresh peach dessert?
Yesterday I made blackberry jam and I had a few berries left over so I decided to try making a cobbler with them. I already told you how much I am in love with these berries and they rang true again with this cobbler! My husband kept saying how good this was and kept asking me what was in it that was different, so that is how good they are… for him to even notice! Continue reading
I made these coconut cupcakes with chocolate ganache for our Sunday dinner and they are to die for! They have coconut milk and coconut flavoring in them and they are so moist and yummy, then you add a layer of chocolate ganache between the cupcake and the fluffly cream cheese frosting… oh so heavenly!

A few days ago I had all the grand kids over for another little water party with the blow up slide. They love the slide and we had a great time. For a little treat we made homemade ice cream in a baggie! They thought that it was kind of fun to each be able to make their own little bag of ice cream. It is really easy to do…all you need is your favorite ice cream mix, zip lock baggies, ice and salt. Then you have to shake, shake, shake it, like this:

There is a story behind this title…
a while back one of my DIL’s brought dessert for dinner on a Sunday get together and when they arrived at our house, she told her oldest son (age 9) to tell me what they had brought for dessert. He declared: “Better than Hunting Cake!” (Remember, that this is our little hunter!) Well, we all got a good laugh out of that and we all knew what the real name of the cake was, but he thought that was the real name. He has a smart mom to avoid that topic! So anyway here is a version of Chex Mix that is called Better Than Sex Hunting Chex Mix that is to die for. You have to be careful because this one is soooo addicting! It is a combination of chocolatey, sweet, salty, peanut butter, and marshmellowy bliss!

Here is another recipe from our 4th of July party. It really does live up to it’s name as in EASY! It is a very pretty pie and makes a great presentation! This would be great for any summer gathering!
I was contacted by a company called “Lucky Leaf” and asked if I would like a free sample of their products and then in turn would I write a post about it. I was actually quite excited about it when I found out that it involved food! So a few days later I received a fun package in the mail and I was excited to try out some of their great recipes!
The first recipe that I tried out was the frozen pie pops, who would of thought to make a Popsicle with canned pie filling? Not me, but I tried this recipe and they were delicious and so full of flavor. I love the cute pop mold that they sent, the handle on the top looks like a tongue sticking out ready to lick the Popsicle! As you can see a couple of my grand kids did the kid-taste test and it looks like they passed, they loved them and I loved how quick and easy they were to make.
My sister and I were over at our Dad’s house last week helping him plant his flowers in his yard and when we got done we went out to his garden and picked some of his rhubarb. I am not a great fan of rhubarb, but my dad loves it! So I brought a bunch home and made it into rhubarb bread for him.
