Ok, I know it is totally lame to link to last year’s 4th of July post, but that is how busy my life has been these days! And plus when something is good, it’s worth eating twice right? Click here for last year’s Red, White and Blueberry Dessert.
Wishing everyone a happy and safe 4th of July holiday this weekend!
hmmmm....dark chocolate lava cake!
Happy Belated Valentines Day to everyone! We enjoyed our day in sunny SoCal yesterday and found ourselves so thankful for our beautiful life together. My husband made the most delicious dinner of grilled lack of lamb on a bed of swiss chard with pomme frites and a beet salad with feta cheese and argula. It was so good that I do not have any photos, we enjoyed it too much!
Dessert was my domain yesterday. And we did pause for a brief moment to snap a quick photo (above). I debated what sort of healthy chocolate decadence to create. I settled on a recipe I found in my Better Homes and Gardens New Bridal Edition cookbook. The results were similar to a chocolate souffle but the recipe was much faster to make. And the best part is that you can make it up to step 4 and then just keep it chilled until 30 minutes before you intend to bake it, meaning that it is a great dinner party dessert with unbelievably rich and delicious, souffle-like results.
Here is the recipe: (more…)
The interesting thing about cobblers is that there are a lot of recipe variations available out there. What you do not want is one that has so much butter and flour that it takes away from the fresh peach flavor. Sure the butter tastes good, but we sometimes are trying to enjoy dessert without sabotaging our figures. After all, it is swim suit season as well. I like to use a recipe which has only 5 other ingredients in addition to the peaches. It simply uses homemade granola, brown sugar, butter (only 1 tablespoon!), tapioca, ginger, and the peaches of course!
