For last month’s book club I had to make a southern food to fit the theme of the night. Whenever my family goes to Florida (though it’s been many years for me) we make a point to “test out” the key lime pie at basically every restaurant we go to. We are always on the search for the best one, though none are bad.
I thought I should try making key lime pie cupcakes. Please note – I understand that in no way should this recipe be called “key lime” maybe I should just name it “lime cupcakes” but for some reason that doesn’t sound appetizing to me. Take a look at my version of super simple key lime pie cupcakes.
If you think I’m going to give up ice cream once the weather turns cold you’re wrong. I enjoy ice cream all year round. These fun Halloween ice cream treats are not only tasty but great to make ahead of time for a party. They are sure to be a hit with kids (plus you could always make a boozy version for the adults!).
Truth – I used to eat maraschino cherries straight from the jar as an after-school snack. I’m sure my mother didn’t know. Truth – On occasion, I STILL eat maraschino cherries straight from the jar. I can’t help it! I love them. These loaves of mini cherry chocolate chip bread are perfect to give as Valentine’s gifts or to keep and eat for yourself. I find that by making mini bread loaves I am better able to portion-control instead of devouring it all immediately.
Strawberry parfaits are incredibly easy and fast desserts to make but can still pass as fancy in a pinch. If you need a “dessert for dummies” recipe this is the one.
Strawberry parfaits are kid-friendly, chocolate-free, and make a perfect Valentine’s Day treat for anyone. Class it up by putting the parfait in a wine glass and adding a strawberry fan to up the ante.
