Peaches, with their luscious and juicy texture, are a delightful fruit that embodies the essence of summer. Combining the rich flavors of peaches with a buttery and flaky crust, a peach crostata is a classic Italian dessert that your whole family will love. In this blog post, I’ll explore the art of making a mouthwatering…
My family loves peaches. Honestly, I’m not really a big fan. But because they love them, I try to come up with new and interesting ways to bake with them. Often, I make completely scratch recipes. Sometimes, I prefer to do semi-homemade recipes like this cinnamon roll peach cobbler. These are so easy to make…
Today is National Peach Cobbler Day! My family loves peach cobbler, so I decided to change it up and make this peach cobbler pound cake recipe. I have made white peach cobbler before on my blog – it was early-on when I started my blog (and the terrible photos are proof of that). But, I…
I had no idea I could make delicious and healthy peach frozen yogurt popsicles with only four ingredients. I’m a major smoothy fan already, but because our son is suddenly on a popsicle kick, I wanted to create some healthy versions to give him. My son just had his first popsicle after swim lessons a…
We had a surplus of peaches after taking our kids to pick fresh peaches at a local farm. We also had a bunch of green tea in the pantry, so I decided to try making a healthy peach green tea recipe.To be frank, I actually don’t like green tea very much. I prefer Earl Grey…
Can peaches grow in Phoenix? That’s the question I asked myself when I heard about the Phoenix Peach Festival. It seemed unlikely to me that peaches could grow in such an arid climate, but apparently they can. My friend brought her kids last year, so I thought it would be a fun event to check…
Not sure what dessert to make this 4th of July? These quick and easy peach turnovers will not let you down. They are so super simple to make, and really delicious. All you need is fresh peaches, puff pastry, and a few other ingredients. I liked this recipe for easy peach turnovers so much, I shared it with…
My husband’s first Father’s Day was the perfect excuse to make his favorite summer dessert, peach cobbler. There is no shortage of peach cobbler recipes online, with endless variations on the theme. My husband reassured me that recipes, in general but especially for this dish, were guides and not the gospel, as his “Big Mama”…
Universal Studios Hollywood hosted our trip. All opinions are my own. I’ve lived in LA for 5 years and never visited Universal Studios Hollywood. This past summer, we were invited to Universal Studios in Orlando and had the most magical week. Given the fact that we loved the other coast’s park, I just knew I’d…
Have you heard of a green tea shot? I hadn’t until very recently. Initially, I actually thought it was a healthy shot, like an infusion of green tea and other things you would drink for your health. Well, I was wrong. Sure, healthy green tea shots do exist, but these ones are liquor. Green tea…
One of my favorite ways to use extra summer fruit is to make easy galette recipes. Unlike baking fresh pies, galettes are much easier and feel much less fussy than pies. Also, I love this easy cherry galette recipe using fresh cherries because the whole thing takes less than an hour to make, including baking…
Are you a salad person? In the summer, I definitely prefer to eat salads for lunch over most other things. I normally prefer hot food, but in the summer, I love a cold salad with cold roasted veggies on it. This arugula beet salad is my current go-to. I roast up a large batch of…
I can’t believe it’s already Memorial Day weekend! If you’re looking for some ideas for new recipes, here are 5 Memorial Day grilling recipes that I love. No, you definitely don’t just need to stick with burgers and hot dogs. I encourage you to try something new, especially find a way to incorporate vegetables and…
Mmmm…cauliflower! So I know there is a whole big movement to replace carbs with cauliflower. But it’s not just hype! It actually totally works. Now, if you’re expecting that cauliflower pizza crust is going to taste EXACTLY like pizza you’ll get at your favorite restaurant, well, then you’re going to be disappointed. But, I still…
I’ve made pie crust before, but I’ve never made a fresh fruit pie. I’ve made turnovers and galettes, but never a homemade pie from scratch. After a very stressful week at work, I came home and decided to bake. Given that there weren’t many groceries in the house, I didn’t have a lot of options….
