Classic Americana Desserts ❤️🤍💙

Published about 24 hours ago • 1 min read

Hey friends❣️

There’s something about summer potlucks and barbecues that calls for the kind of desserts our grandmothers swore by ~ so this holiday weekend I’m honoring the classics, from pies, cobblers, and buckles to a few new favorites that feel just as timeless ~ hello, s’mores and flag cakes!

Classic American Summer Desserts

Red White and Blue!

Patriotic holidays bring out all the red white and blue food, for sure, but is that a good thing? For anyone over the age of 8, red white and blue food with lots of artificial ingredients can be...yucky!

Not to worry, I've collected a whole bunch of real food recipes that even sophisticated American foodies can love.

I love to make delicious food, photograph it, and write about it, but mostly, I just love to EAT. Isn’t that what it’s all about? My recipes are bold and vibrant, but totally approachable ~ and my philosophy? We should all have the tools to feed ourselves well, and the confidence to cut loose a little in the kitchen. Food should be fun!

It's HERE! 👉 (Your JULY Bucket List)

Hey friends❣️ It’s July, and summer’s really settling in ~ the food’s colder, juicier, and just a little messier (in the best way).

My mouth was full of crumbles when I said it 😮

Hey friends❣️ It's in my top 5 ~ wow! And I know I shouldn't play favorites. But here we are. Oh, and it's a looker, too. Apricots are outrageous. (If you're looking for a dessert for company, this is a great choice.) Apricot Almond Tart I used Raspberry Apricots (found them at Whole Foods) but any ripe apricot is fine for this recipe. Something happens to them in the oven ~ their flavor just explodes. Almond flour (loving Bob's Red Mill Superfine Almond flour for baking) gives the shortbread...
