Blackberry Cobbler… The Perfect Summery Dessert (she: Maria)

ByMaria

Hello, dear friends! This is Maria from Shopgirl visiting again, and I have another recipe to share with you today! Since summer is officially here, it’s time for all those delicious summer desserts! Nothing says summer dessert to me like baking with fresh fruit. I look forward to ripe, juicy berries and wonderfully fragrant peaches all year! This blackberry cobbler is a great choice for a quick and easy, but utterly delicious summer dessert. You are definitely going to want to make this, because it is like summer in a bite (especially topped with a big scoop of ice-cream, of course).

Sour Berry Fizz … the Perfect Poolside Drink (she: Gina)

ByGina Kleinworth

Hi all! It’s Gina from Kleinworth & Co. Hope you all are having a wonderful summer so far. For many years we lived in the desert of Nevada & endured countless scorching summers. During that time we learned a thing or two about how to cool off when the temps keep creeping higher. When it gets hot I like to whip up something quick in the kitchen & then go find some shade to cool down. One of my favorites is this Sour Berry Fizz. Just a couple ingredients & 60 seconds in the blender & then kick your feet up & relax by the pool.
This was one drink we really loved to enjoy out on the back patio while having some pool time. I would whip up a double batch & keep the pitcher out with us by the pool for easy refills while we splashed the afternoon away.

Greek Yogurt Dip Recipe – Perfect for Summer Produce!

Bycathy

Hey there, Or So She Says friends! It’s Cathy from Lemon Tree Dwelling, here today to share a fabulous SKINNY summer recipe with you! It’s that time of year…..bathing suit time….which, around here, is always a little bit daunting. This year it is especially daunting, because I just had a BABY!!
Made with plain Greek yogurt, Greek seasoning, minced garlic, lemon juice, kosher salt, and fresh ground pepper, this dip is naturally fat free, full of protein, and perfect for dipping your favorite summer veggies. It would be extra delicious with a sprinkle of feta cheese….but that sorta takes away the “skinny”. Either way, it has become my favorite new way to eat veggies…during bathing suit season, post-baby, or anytime!

Disneyland’s Bengal Barbecue Recipe Round-up

ByAdelle Belnap

Hey Everyone, it’s Adelle from Packed with Fun, the official blog for Get Away Today. Summer is the season for two of my favorite things: Disneyland vacations and barbecue. My combined love for the two inspired me to re-create the recipes for one of my family’s most craved meals at Disneyland – Bengal Barbecue. My kids love the skewers because they are yummy and fun to eat. I love them for the same reasons, but also because they’re one of the more affordable meal options inside the park. At $4 a skewer, it can’t be beat… unless you make them at home!

Coconut Lemon Cupcakes with Raspberry Frosting (she: Zainab)

ByZainab

Hello again!! Zainab here from Blahnik Baker. I am so happy to be back to share a recipe with you guys since it’s been a while! These coconut lemon cupcakes with raspberry frosting were the talk of our last BBQ and I couldn’t wait to bring them to you hoping you will give them a try!
Since it is officially summer now (yay!!!), how is your summer going? I hope you are enjoying it! I decided this summer to try to do new things and I’ve been exploring our city in new ways. No more malls and shopping trips to run away from the heat. Instead, we are doing more outdoor activities like visiting the zoo that don’t always require an entire day out in the sun. Or visiting a nearby waterfall park that will involve playing in the water to cool down. What are some of your summer plans? Any bucket list activities?
We are also attending a lot of barbeques and picnics with friends and family. For some reason, everyone seems to be throwing a picnic but it’s fun to attend these parties especially to catch up with people you haven’t seen in a while. Being the baker in the family, I am always bringing some sort of baked treat and these cupcakes were my last creation.

Chicken Pesto Sandwiches

Chicken Pesto Sandwiches

ByMariel

Chicken salad is one of my most favorite things! In Mormon culture, it’s pretty expected to have chicken salad sandwiches after every baby blessing, missionary farewell, and missionary homecoming… at least, in Utah. And I must say, I don’t mind at all. It definitely beats the green Jell-O, which I’ll have you know I have NEVER seen at a Mormon gathering. But, I’m still looking. There is this fantastic BBQ place in town (Holy Smoke) and they serve the green Jell-O, as a side of humor, but that’s about it. Anyway, so if you’re blessing your baby or basically, having chicken salad sandwiches, invite me. I want some!

So, this recipe was created by my mom, a copycat recipe pro! Check it out…

No-Bake Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies (she: Samantha)

BySamantha

Hi, y’all! It’s Samantha from Five Heart Home, and I’m happy to be back today with a no-bake cookie treat that will curb that cookie craving with nary an oven required!

There are still a couple of weeks to go before the official first day of summer, but across many parts of the country, summer temps are already here to stay. I don’t know about you, but the last thing I feel like doing when it’s boiling outside is turning on the oven. The A/C is already working hard enough! That’s why this is the time of year that you’ll find my family eating refreshing salads, dinners from the grill, and — when that sweet tooth acts up — no-bake desserts!

Strawberry Pretzel Popsicles (she: Allie)

ByAllie

Hello again, friends! Allie here, from Baking a Moment, to share this really fun, easy, and delicious recipe for summertime!

Promise me you won’t think I’m weird, or like a big food dummy, but honestly? I never even heard of that Strawberry Pretzel Salad thing until a year or two ago. I do not know how I made it through (ahem) thirty-mumble-mumble years without this ever crossing my radar. Especially considering food is my life. For reals. Like, sometimes I feel like it’s all I think about.

And, when I first started seeing it on Pinterest and stuff I thought it sounded kinda gross. I mean, sweet cream cheese and strawberries, yes. But pretzels? Not so sure. But here’s how the idea for strawberry pretzel popsicles was born:

Avocado Goat Cheese Dressing from Kleinworth & Co.

Avocado Goat Cheese Dressing (she: Gina)

ByGina Kleinworth

Hi there! It’s Gina from Kleinworth & Co. I’m back today to share with you a quick & easy way to add a creamy & tangy avocado flavor to everything you desire. We always seem to have an aging avocado on the counter. Everyone loves them & so every trip to the market results in more avocados. But they have such a short window of time for perfection. I don’t want to waste them. So I have been using them in all sorts of recipes whenever I can. One of our new family favorites is this Avocado Goat Cheese Dressing.
It’s the perfect creamy dressing. My daughter (who is just crazy for salad) just loves having this in place of her regular Ranch or Italian dressing. The avocado flavor is perfect.
