Fruit — Delish

Strawberry Shortcakes

28 May 2012

My favorite part of this time of year is an abundance of fruit. I’ve been eating several peaches a day for the last week, and I’m headed to the store shortly to load up on fruit for this week. My love of fruit, stems from growing up eating fruit for dessert. My mom could probably [...]

Orange Cream Sherbet

10 August 2010

Its really hot this summer. Technically its not as hot as it was last summer, but somehow it seems worse this year or I’m becoming a bigger and bigger wimp. You’d think that being born & raised in Texas would mean that I have some sort of tolerance from the heat but no! One of [...]

Grand Fruit Salad

4 June 2010

Summer fruit goodness is pure heaven. I love indulging on tons and tons of fruit throughout the summer; its one of the best parts of summer. The other day I was reminiscing about childhood summers. Some of my fondest summer memories were spent at my Grandparent’s house. We’d go for a week at a time [...]

Strawberry Sherbet

15 April 2010

It’s not quite summer yet, but I was ready to bust out the ice cream machine! The temps are already reaching the 80s after all. I love making homemade ice cream but I’ve done little of that the last few years, as I can’t seem to pull of lower fat ice cream. Anyone have a [...]

Berries with Vanilla Sugar

12 May 2009

Sometimes its just this simple…dice up some fresh fruit and top off with some vanilla sugar. Soooo good!! Obviously it’d be healthier to eat the fruit plain, but I love the little bit of crunch you get from the sugar and that wonderful vanilla-y sweetness! Even better when the berries are chilled before you add [...]

I absolutely love muffins for breakfast. They’re perfect to whip up on the weekend to keep through the week. A good muffin and a piece of fruit and I’m a happy camper in the morning! I love making banana muffins cause I’m not big on bananas even though they’re good for you, but put them [...]

Pink Grapefruit Champagne Sorbet

6 January 2009

I had the intention of making this for new year’s. Unfortunately, getting sick for a week totally threw off my plans. As well as my plans of updating the blog daily while I was at home on vacation for a week. Being sick was definitely not in the plans! I figure it was God’s way [...]

Peach Mango Sorbet

27 June 2008

Its summer time. I’ve been craving ice cream daily. I tried making a batch of frozen yogurt but the first attempt was not sweet enough and was too yogurt-y. I’ll give it a few more tries and hopefully be back with a winning Fro Yo recipe. For now though, I figured I’d stick with sorbet. [...]

Strawberry Peach Sorbet

7 October 2007

Its not quite fall here in Texas, so ice cream and sorbet still sound like delicious treats. I never did get around to trying out a sorbet recipe this summer, so I figured I ought to get busy now before the weather actually does start cooling down. Now most of the recipes I found for [...]

I had a whole pineapple in the fridge that i haven’t used and its on the verge of going out so I knew I needed to eat it tonight. Decided I’d spice it up a bit and grill it to eat with some of the homemade ice cream that’s still in the fridge. I came [...]

Cinnamon Peaches

22 June 2007

I had a couple peaches sitting on the counter that would be bad tomorrow morning if I didn’t do something with them tonight. The only thing I could think of that sounded good was cobbler, but I’m not really in the mood to do that much baking. So instead i came up with this creation, [...]
