Fresh Fun Desserts

In our neck of the woods, Spring arriving means potlucks, picnics, fiestas and more! I always struggle with what to bring to family dinners, team potlucks or friendly picnics. Do I bring a traditional side dish and if I do will eight other people be bringing the same potato salad recipe?

So, I usually opt to bring a dessert. I find desserts easier to make, less time consuming and less stressful. There's a better chance of more diversity at the dessert table - in my humble opinion. I put together a few dessert ideas that are delicious and simple!

Angel Food Cake

Bisquick Apple Pie

Blueberry Breakfast Cake

Butterscotch Pound Cake

Janet's Choc. Chip Cake

Get Fruity in the Kitchen for Summer!

With Summer literally right around the corner and all sorts of fun fruits starting to reappear at the produce section and local farmers markets, it's time to get a little fruity! Fruit and Summer go together with...peas and carrots! (Yes, I said it.)

And what could be more delicious than sinking your teeth into Apple Pie Cake or Banana Applesauce Bread? I'm pretty sure pie, cake and bread should have their very own tier on the food pyramid!

Banana Strawberry Sandwich

Have hungry little summer dwellers at your house? Try the banana strawberry sandwich on them the next time you hear "I'm hungry!" It will make a believer out of the pickiest eaters. And, it's easy enough for kids to help with or make themselves.

Blueberry Grunt

Okay, the name throws me off every time I see the recipe, but I have to tell you that our Blueberry Grunt is deliciously sweet and tart all in one bite.  It should be our national fruit embassador. Seriously.

Bisquick Apple Pie with Streusel Topping

If you are a Bisquick booster like me, you will find a new favorite dessert in our Bisquick Apple Pie with Streusel Topping. Personally, anything with the word Streusel in the title works for me.
