I love the summer. But I don’t want huge dinners that take forever to make in a hot kitchen. That’s why this week I included skewers on the grill again plus two breakfasts for dinner, one is sweet while the other is savory. I hope you enjoy these recipes.

Cream Puffs

I was pretty disappointed when I heard the Wisconsin State Fair was canceled this year because of COVID. How was I going to get my giant cream puffs? After a completely botched attempt following someone else’s recipe, I decided to create my own (regular-sized) cream puffs. I feel this cream puff recipe is easy to follow plus super tasty! It’s a hardy pastry shell that can handle heavier fillings. I filled them with a basic whipped cream this time but I can’t wait to try pastry cream, lemon curd, etc. I’ll definitely want to cover them in chocolate at some point too – the possibilities are endless.
