• Acorn Treats

  I saw these fun fall treats on the Hershey’s site and they were so cute I just had to make them! They’re so easy, too…kids would have a lot of fun making these. Acorn Treats are great for fall parties, snacks, and fun food gifts…they’re perfect for any autumn get-together or celebration!

• Pumpkin Bread with Pumpkin Buttercream

  I make a lot of pumpkin bread in the fall and winter, and wanted to try out a new recipe. So I decided to try the Pumpkin Loaf from Great Coffee Cakes, Sticky Buns, Muffins & More by Carole Walter (I made a few small changes, noted in the recipe below). It’s a great basic pumpkin bread recipe—the…

• No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars

  It sure has been hot the last few weeks, and who feels like baking when it’s so hot? So I have been looking up recipes that don’t require much, if any, baking. If you are a peanut-butter-and-chocolate lover and if you like Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, you will definitely want to try these out! They’re really…

• Dark Chocolate–Raspberry Smoothie

  This is a chocolate treat you can feel good about drinking! I came up with this recipe after some experimenting in the kitchen and have even had this smoothie for breakfast…who says you can’t have dark chocolate for breakfast? 🙂 Even though it’s healthy, it would make a great dessert, too—it’s hard to beat that…

• Blueberry Sherbet

  This recipe was from the December 2004 issue of Southern Living magazine. I had clipped it out of that issue quite a while ago, but now I wish I had made it much sooner, because this Blueberry Sherbet is so good! The next time you want something cool and refreshing, try this sherbet. I like it…

• Raspberry-Lime Freeze

  Today the high was 96 degrees, so I was really ready to have something nice and cool. In this Raspberry-Lime Freeze recipe, the raspberry and lime flavors go so well together…it’s really refreshing!

• Blueberry Topping

  I have to confess that I have never made a fruit topping or sauce before…for some reason, I always thought it was a hard thing to make. But I couldn’t have been more wrong! This recipe is SO easy and quick. And it’s made with fresh blueberries.

• Pound Cake Muffins with Strawberries

  This is a muffin you can really sink your teeth into! 🙂 It’s actually a yummy, rich mini–pound cake disguised as a muffin and topped with cream cheese frosting and a juicy red strawberry.  Because the batter is rich and dense, the baking time is longer than it is for a typical muffin, but when…
