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.

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 ;).

    I will be making the Blueberry Pie Pancakes for breakfast tomorrow but subbing strawberries instead. I just bought the most delicious looking organic strawberries and I can not wait to eat them! The new Larabar flavor sounds delish, can’t wait to try it. As for my favorite summer fruits….pretty much all of them. I love all fruit, especially those in season.
