You Can Never Have Too Many 🍑🍑🍑 Peach Cakes!

Published about 13 hours ago • 1 min read

Hey friends❣️

Summer baking is special. Partly because, yes, you do have to heat up your kitchen a wee bit to accomplish it. So the results have to be worth it, and in this case, they definitely are!

​Almond Peach Cake​

No surprise I've got a lot of peach recipes up my sleeve and I'll be sharing them throughout the summer, this is just the beginning. Some, like my easy peach cobbler and my easy peach buckle are classic must-make recipes. But this easy little cake is a sleeper hit and couldn't wait to be shared. It'll start off your peach season right!

​​Basil Salad with Heirloom Tomatoes​​

You can count on me to bring you creative recipe ideas and, you guessed it, this salad is made with fresh basil instead of lettuce. It's as delicious as it sounds, and will glam up your burger plate for sure 🌿🍅🍔

​Strawberry Sheet Cake 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

“
This cake is absolutely delicious! The day I made it the frosting was okay…but I stored it in the fridge and the next day it was the best dessert I’ve made in ages. The frosting became magical and even the very good vanilla cake had a light strawberry flavor. I highly recommend this recipe and will definitely be making it again!

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!
