Coconut Ice Cream

I can’t believe summer is almost over! This summer has flown by and I’m sad that my favorite season is coming to an end.  I like to make recipes that remind of warmer days during the chilly fall and freezing winter, like these. This coconut ice recipe is one of those recipe that I like to make year round since I can eat ice cream no matter the temperature outside. However, if you’re not one of those then you NEED to go make this before it gets too cold!

Fantastic Frosting

Notice that things look a little different around here? Well, I finally got around to redesigning my blog and I’d love to hear what you think of it. So poke around bit and check out some of the new features, such as the image based archives, which showcases all my previous posts.

Now that the redesign is out of the way, I can finally get back to blogging. I have a lot of posting to catch up on so let’s start! First up is this fantastic frosting. Made with flour, this frosting is light, smooth, and is reminiscent of the “whipped” frosting on cakes at grocery stores. I especially love how this frosting is not overly sweet, as some buttercreams can be!

Dark Chocolate Raspberry Cookies

While I like fresh raspberries, I’m honestly not a fan of artificially flavored raspberry foods. At my friend’s bridal shower last week I won a bag of Hershey’s Raspberry Bliss chocolates during one of the games. I tried to give them away but no one seemed to want them. I thought I would like the taste of the chocolates better if I baked them into some cookies–because cookies make everything better, right? Right!

Chocolate Chip Coffee Cake

This cake is SO good and it makes the perfect companion to your morning cup of coffee or tea. And since it’s “coffee cake” it means it’s perfectly okay to have for breakfast!

Brownie Pillow Cookies

Do not let the plain exterior of these cookies fool you. While they may look like ordinary chocolate chip cookies, they are not.

Sour Cream Apple Pie

To me, apple pie is more of a fall dessert and I never really think to serve it during the summer. I decided to serve a cooler, summer version of the traditional pie at a recent get together at my in-laws since my father-in-law is a huge apple pie fan. The pie is served chilled and is filled with sour cream and apples, making a nice cool, creamy center. And, just like traditional apple pie, it tastes great with ice cream!

I bought a huge box of Honey Nut Cheerios and wasn’t able to eat them all before they went stale. I couldn’t bring my self to throw them all away and decided that I might be able to revive the sad chewy Cheerios by turning them into cookies.
