There are serious perks to working at a Berry Patch during fruit season! With the bounty of peaches and raspberries in the fridge and a pantry shelf full of jams, I decided it was finally time to use those fruits for something delicious and DESSERT. This cobbler was the first I’ve ever made and I will […]
Bakery Blueberry Muffins Recipe
I have always been a muffin fan, but I have never made blueberry muffins before. And even when I bake muffins, I find it difficult to keep from overbaking them. I hope I’m not alone in this one. The night before mine and my husband’s 4th anniversary camping trip, I decided to whip up a […]
Cinnamon Pear Sauce Recipe
In this “fruit belt” of Western New York, we have generous friends with fruit trees filling their yards, dropping ripe pears left and right. We’ve had at least 15 pounds of pears shared with us in the last week, and pear sauce was a beautiful way to use some of the pears up (particularly those […]
Watermelon Lime Sorbet
I bought a full size gigantic watermelon at the market. No big deal, right? It was on sale, I hadn’t yet gotten my summer watermelon fix, and the temperatures were skyrocketing. Perfect choice. The only problem? I bought this enormous hunk of fruit for just the two of us. Yep, that’s right. A whole watermelon […]

Mango Nectarine Sorbet
On a scorching hot day, I was craving something sweet and something very cold. Ice cream was the obvious choice, but with no heavy cream in the refrigerator, I started looking for other options. There was a fresh mango on my counter–not quite enough for sorbet. But there was a drawer full of nectarines as […]
Strawberry Sorbet
I’m not sure I’ve ever tasted anything so pure, so clean, so bright, so perfect. This strawberry sorbet is beyond amazing–AND healthy! I could go on and on, but I’ll just leave you with the insistence on trying this as soon as you find delicious strawberries on sale for $0.99 a pound. Strawberry Sorbet adapted from […]
Old Fashioned Spiced Apple Crisp
I can’t think of very many anyone who doesn’t love apple crisp. It’s just plain good. Apples? good. Oats? good. Butter? gooooood. (If you’re one of the two people in the United States of America who doesn’t love apple crisp, please keep that terrible truth to yourself. Thank you.) This particular apple crisp is unique in that it is […]
Fruit Pizza
also known as “gigantic sugar cookie with cream cheese frosting and fruit ornamentation.” We were having one of our teen’s families over to dinner after church. It was going to be casual–burgers, salad, potato wedges (though I had to do homemade burger patties, and homemade buns, and homemade potato wedges). I asked our guest of honor for […]
