Banana Split Ice Cream

Who doesn’t love ice cream??  Come on, name one person who doesn’t??? 😉 So giving away the machine needed to create the GREATEST treat EVER was a NO-Brainer!  But before I announce the winners, l wanted to share my latest ice cream creation. About Ice Cream Makers I used my compressor ice cream maker and I…

REAL Watermelon Snow Cones (Granita)

This is the PERFECT thing to eat on days like today in Louisiana!  After making the REAL Watermelon Jell-O a few weeks ago,  I still had leftover watermelon in the fridge. Last year I bought a cheap snow cone maker and paper cones  to experiment with making a substitute to the sugar laden syrup you purchase at the…

My Favorite Blueberry Recipes

I am on my last few pints of blueberries for the season and this makes me VERY SAD! I have been spoiled for the past few years to be able to pick fresh blueberries from my MIL’s bushes!  Nothing’s better than eating them right off the bush! (No, pesticides are used so don’t worry!) Here…

REAL Watermelon Jell-O

Happy Fourth of July….Dessert Pizza

This recipe will not disappoint!  Once again I am pulling out another “treasure” from the Satisfying Eats Cookbook!  This “Sugar” Cookie recipe is delicious and turning it into a crust was so easy! Feel free to use any fruit you would like or arrange the berries in any pattern. I thought the flag pattern would…

Blueberry Coffee Cake (Blueberry Buckle)

It’s that time of year, blueberry season!!  I am so blessed to have unlimited blueberries for the months of June and July!  My mil has 2 HUGE bushes (over 10 feet tall) that she graciously lets me help myself too!  This recipe is a great way to enjoy yummy blueberries! I also wanted to post…

Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries

As most of you know, I have had a rough week. Not sure if it was a demonic stomach bug, foodbourn illness or what, but it was 7 days ofmisery!  I am feeling much better today, just getting my energy back and catching up on house work so not a lot of time to cook.…
