The dessert everybody wants this weekend ❄️

Published about 8 hours ago • 1 min read

Hey friends❣️

We made it through the torrential Midwest rains and today the sun is shining ~ you better believe dinner will be outside on the patio tonight.

And dessert is the headliner. I’ve got a brand new recipe to share today and I’m kind of in love.

How could you not love this pie? It’s got everything we want in a summer dessert: a chocolate crumb crust, a frosty spiked mocha filling, a chocolate drizzle, and whipped cream. It’s no-bake, make-ahead friendly, and just boozy enough to feel like dessert and cocktail in one.

And yes, you can make a zero-proof version, no worries.

​Frozen Mudslide Pie​

Make room in the fridge ~ cool silky pies are where it's at this month.

You'll want a classic shallow pie plate (not deep dish) for chilled pies like these. The slanted shape allows for easier removal of delicate crumb crusts, and both are freezer safe.

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.

~ see you at the table!

Green Goddess Salmon

Hey friends❣️ My breakfast might not always be healthy (cue the Dessert for Breakfast section on my site...) but dinner is usually a healthy-ish affair in our house, and I find that easiest to stick to in summer. These favorite dinners are all inspired by classic bright green sauces that are a staple in my kitchen. Green Goddess Salmon Every cook should know how to make Green Goddess. It's honestly one of the most vividly flavored dressing I've ever encountered, and it can be translated into...

Lemon Poppy Seed Bars

Hey friends❣️ Sometimes it’s the smallest tweak that changes everything. For me, poppy seeds are one of those tiny ingredients that make food feel instantly more interesting ~ a little crunch, a little nuttiness, and suddenly a familiar recipe has a whole new personality. Latest example: my new favorite lemon bars. Lemon Poppy Seed Bars get the recipe Tip: if you love poppy seeds, buy them in larger jars, but store them in the refrigerator to keep them fresh.

Strawberry cookies

Hey friends❣️ Happy Sunday! We're celebrating my youngest daughter's birthday here tonight but I still haven't settled on a menu. Good thing I'm up early. I'm thinking tacos ~ maybe my Instant Pot barbacoa or short ribs. I could make Mexican street corn salad but I'll probably default to corn on the cob to make my life easier. Speaking of corn I'm testing Mexican street corn chowder tomorrow, I'm so excited. In fact the new summer recipes are piling up faster than I can get them out to you,...
