It’s hard to believe we are just about half way through August already. Soon, it will be time for fall and everything pumpkin spice. However, I am still holding onto these last few weeks of summer with some of summer’s best desserts. From summer sugar cookies to peanut butter s’mores, here are the best summer desserts:
Happy May, friends! Isn’t it crazy that we are already starting the fifth month of the year? The start of May means one thing. Cinco de Mayo is just around the corner! I always like to share a Mexican-themed food post for the holiday and this year I went the sweet route with these Cinco de May sugar cookies! These sugar cookies are the very best and with the fun frosting colors and decorations, you will be ready to party on Saturday.
Valentine’s Day is the sweetest holiday. Quite literally! And with Valentine’s Day just over a week away, I wanted to share with you a yummy dessert that makes for the perfect sweet treat. I have always loved macarons, but have never attempted to make them. I have always heard how difficult the process is and the need for perfect weather conditions when baking, so in the past I have just bought the dessert. A few weeks ago, I gave these Valentine’s Day Macarons a try and was delighted at the finished product.
We are getting down to the wire when it comes to picking up those last minute Christmas gifts. If you are still searching for a gift for that “hard to buy for” person on your list, homemade gifts are the perfect idea. I have made these homemade Christmas gifts with peppermint bark a few times and they are always a hit!
Once the weather becomes warm, I start craving s’mores. There is something about the combination of s’mores in the summertime that I always look forward to. But, honestly, half the time I shy away from making them in the summer because it’s way too hot to stand by an open fire. The weather has been ridiculously hot here lately, so I thought I would try a spin on the traditional s’more. These frozen s’mores are a new favorite.
