Hey friends❣️

How's your summer going? I always feel like the 4th of July divides the season ~ we've just slid into high summer with more heat, more bugs, and more weeds. But this is when the magic happens ~ bring on the fireflies, ripe tomatoes, and icebox cakes!

Banana Pudding Icebox Cake

Bananas are one of those season-less ingredients that find their way into our favorite recipes no matter what the calendar says. My Almond Flour Banana Cake is welcome on a warm summer night and there's nothing better than a fudgy sliver of Banana Blondies cold from the fridge.

Summer's Top Icebox Pies and Cakes

Icebox cakes and pies are the easiest way to beat the summer heat. Layered, creamy, and straight from the fridge, these retro desserts are pure heaven on a hot day.

This has become my go-to for a light summery dessert! Cut them small for a dessert plate and add little chocolates. Divine!

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!
