It’s Labor Day weekend, and for a little longer, it’s still peach season. All the more reason to take advantage now, and you won’t find a better use for local peaches than my Sparkling Peach Sangria.

Berry Cream Cake

Berry Cream Cake

This light and airy Berry Cream Cake might just be the quintessential summer dessert. The creamy topping showcases whatever berries you choose to strew across it. For added flavor, feel free to pass a bowl of lightly sugared berries (not shown) of either a single type of berry you’ve used or maybe all of them, mixed together.

Julia Childs Berry Clafoutis

Julia Childs Berry Clafoutis

I have been having a love affair this year with…Julia Childs Berry Clafoutis. Maybe someday I’ll complete that sentence with news in the romance department but in the meantime, I’m not complaining a bit about settling with this simple, custardy fruit dessert. Clafoutis is kind of a cross between a cake and a pudding and it is everything, This year it’s a simple pleasure that’s been like a little salvation.

In my defense, the half time show was over and my attention span was stretched to the limit. Anyway, here’s the sweet little recipe for the Easy Fresh Blackberry Sauce that I served with that cheesecake!
