5 Fourth of July Dessert Ideas! πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ


Hi Reader,

I'm in disbelief that we're over halfway through June already! I've had summer desserts on my mind A LOT lately (I've been especially craving fruit crisp!), so I thought I'd round up a collection of Fourth of July dessert ideas.

They're all festive, they feed a crowd, and they can be made in advance.

And there's no reason why you have to wait until the Fourth to make these. It's summer after all and these recipes make the most of it. :)

Before we get to those, I've got a new recipe for chicken fajitas made even easier in the air fryer, and I've updated my post for my creamy, refreshing pina coladas with no added sugar. Enjoy!

What's your favorite dessert for Fourth of July? Hit reply and let me know!

Happy baking!

Grilled corn on the cob

Hi Reader, I'm super excited for the Fourth of July. We're going to a barbecue, so I'm going to bring a side...and probably something extra because that's how I am. πŸ˜‰ I'm not sure which dish(es) I'll bring yet though -- I'm so torn! There are too many great options. For me, the side dishes steal the show. Potato and pasta salads, slaws, corn on the cob and cornbread muffins can definitely steal the show, and if you're like me, you're always on the lookout for exciting new recipes. I'm sharing...

Hi Reader, I was at the farmers market this weekend and loved seeing all the spring produce making its appearance! The vibrant greens, the first strawberries of the season, and those perfect bundles of asparagus had me filling my bags and rushing home to cook. April truly marks the turning point when winter's hearty staples give way to spring's lighter, brighter flavors. There's something so energizing about cooking with the seasons, don't you think? 😊 This is why I'm particularly excited to...

Hi Reader, April is just days away, and it happens to be my birth month. I thought it would be fun to share an OLD photo of me on my birthday. Yes, I grew up in the 70's as you can tell by the colors of our kitchen and how I was trying to feather my hair like Farrah Fawcett. I never played tennis either but just liked the shirt. 🀣🀣🀣 My birthday is on April 17th, so whenever it fell close to Easter my mom would make me an Easter bunny cake. I loved that cake and sometimes I think I need to...
