Delicious Summer Dessert Recipes


Did you know it’s National Underwear Day?

I’m not sure what you’re supposed to do with that information, but I thought I’d tell ya anyway.

Luckily for you, National Underwear Day isn’t incorporated into the theme of today’s post. (Unless you want to make some Fruit of the Loom connection. But that’s a stretch.) Instead, the post highlights a few of my favorite summer-fruit recipes. Such as: 

blueberry-m

Blueberry Pie Pancakes

Also known as the fattest pancakes ever. The recipe works with strawberries, too.

breakfastcobbler

Peach Breakfast Bake

So healthy you can have two bowls. For breakfast. Or maybe even dinner.

cherries1

Buttery Berry Crumble Bars

Recommended for parties or school lunches. Yeah, school lunches. Summer can’t last forever.

watermelon3

Watermelon Ice Cream

This is even more delicious if you substitute honeydew for the watermelon!

oat-parfait

Lavender Cream Parfait

Also known as the “love potion.”

sberry-cake1

Single-Serving Strawberry Shortcakes

I think strawberries are one of the prettiest summer fruits. Especially when they’re chocolate-covered strawberries. Just thought I’d throw that out there. 

Question of the Day:

What are your favorite summer fruits?

Blueberries? Raspberries? Honeydew?

New Larabar Flavor Alert!!

Has anyone seen the Chocolate-Chip Cherry Torte Larabars yet?  Giveaway coming soon ;).

      What? I thought your favorite fruit was coconut! 😉

  2. Danni (Healthy Kitschy Vegan) says:

    Blueberries are a fave, which means those pancakes look mighty tasty right about now. I’m also a big fan of cantaloupe and MANGO. Nothing beats a nice ripe, sweet, and juicy mango on a hot day.

  3. Alexandra (Veggin' Out in the Kitchen) says:

    Probably blueberries for me!! Or mango – love mango! 🙂 Oh and watermelon! Pretty much all the summer fruit 😉

    I so want to try your peach bake!! I don’t know why I don’t remember seeing it before, but at least I got to see it now 🙂

    And your ranch dressing is INCREDIBLE!! I even gave it a new name on my blog 😉

    Have an amazing Friday girlie!
