Summer Desserts!
Summertime... and the livin's easy! So easy, in fact, that I don't feel like putting that much effort into cooking. Easy summer salads and quick stir-fries dominate my summer menus. However, when it comes to desserts, there is no skimping. Summer's bounty brings on the peaches, berries, mangoes, pineapples, grapefruits, and so much more. Fruit shines in a variety of desserts, whether baked into a pie or churned into ice cream, I want it all! No, really, I want all of it. Can you please bring me the following desserts? Thank you!

Check out some of the recipes that I'm lovin' right now:

  • Perfect Peach Pie
  • Strawberry Mango Crisp
  • Lemon-Berry Cheesecake
  • Pineapple Upside Down Cake
  • Refreshing Sorbetto in Grapefruit Shells
  • Minty Yogurt Fruit Salad
  • Fruit Pizza

    Peach Crumble
    Peaches, sweet and juicy, are the perfect summer fruit. The only thing that can make them better? Put 'em in a crumble! Not only are crumbles the easiest dessert to make, they are ridiculously good with a scoop of coconut ice cream on a hot summer night. This recipe makes me wish I was drinking sweet tea on my porch swing, watching the fire flies dance. Who wants to go to Savannah? Road trip!

    What You Need:

    6 cups peaches
    2 cups plus 1/2 cup sugar
    1 lemon, juiced
    1 cup flour
    1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    1 teaspoon garam masala
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/3 cup margarine

    What You Do:

    1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, mix peaches, 2 cups sugar, and lemon juice.
    2. In another large bowl, mix the flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking soda, garam masala, and salt. Add the margarine, using a fork to mix, until crumbly.
    3. In a 7-1/2" x 11" baking dish, place the peach mixture on the bottom and spread the crumble mixture on top. Bake uncovered for 45 minutes. Yum!
