Blueberry-Raspberry Muffins

Another berry recipe! My friend, Melissa, first made these muffins and they were so good, I had to make them myself! I adapted the original recipe by adding some vanilla and increasing the amount of berries and they were truly delicious. They are moist and flavorful from the berries, and the crumb topping makes them extra [...]

Barefoot Bloggers: Peach and Blueberry Crumbles

I was a bit unsure about this Barefoot Bloggers recipe pick. I love that it uses seasonal fruit, but I don’t love peaches or blueberries. I debated making this with apples and raspberries, but I felt that would be to much like apple crisp, and apple crisp should only be made in the fall! We went [...]

Cranberry Sauce

I wanted to try making homemade cranberry sauce this year, and this recipe from Williams Sonoma looked very promising. This is so easy to make and the flavor was fantastic, I only wish I had tried this sooner. We did still have canned cranberry sauce for my picky husband, but even he said this “was [...]

Fresh Apple Cake

I know there are a ton of apple cake recipes floating around in blogland right now, but I am begging you, please try this one! I grew up with my Mom making this cake, and I now make at least 3 of these apple cakes every fall. I think my Mom makes even more than that! This [...]

Fresh Fruit Skewers with Fruit Dip

This is probably the easiest recipe on this blog, but it is so delicious! This fruit dip is ALWAYS a hit whenever I bring it somewhere and goes great with any fresh fruit. For Abby’s Birthday party, I decided to put the fruit on toothpicks and make fruit skewers. I really wanted strawberries, but the [...]

Cherry Upside Down Cake

Mmm mmm mmm gooey cherries, and moist, fluffy cake. This is one of those desserts that I love to make once the weather gets cooler. It is so easy to put together, but so delicious! I love a high cherry to low cake ratio, so I adapted this recipe to reflect that, but you could [...]

Mixed Berry Hand Pies

I actually made these hand pies about a couple months ago, but somehow the picture never made it from my camera to my computer and I just recently noticed. When I saw this recipe on Katie’s Blog, I immediately thought of my husband. Nate loves pies and pastries, especially when they have fruit filling. However, [...]

Creamy Fruit Salad

I first had this fruit salad when I went to a cookout at my Dad’s house, and it was so delicious! I am not even sure if Creamy Fruit Salad is the real name, everyone just kept calling it “the fruit stuff that Sam brought.” Well Sam was nice enough to give me the recipe. [...]

Blueberry Crumb Bars

I will be honest, I don’t even like blueberries. I try to like blueberries, I mean the look good and they are certainly good for you, but I just can’t do it. However, Nate loves blueberries, therefore my In-laws brought us a huge box of freshly picked blueberries last Saturday. Nate made a blueberry pie [...]

Barefoot Bloggers: Coeur a la Creme

What? We already did our two Barefoot Bloggers post’s for July, what is this Coeur a la Creme, stuff? It’s creamy, silky, vanilla-lemony, with fruit sauce bliss is what it is. This recipe was a bonus recipe for the month of July, chosen by Becke over at Columbus Foodie. Once again, I have to say that I [...]
