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.

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.

There was a time an Easy Mixed Berry Crisp like this was a big splurge, but with berries so available these days, fresh and frozen and so much more reasonably priced then they used to be, it’s a much more affordable splurge. And this Easy Mixed Berry Crisp is so worth it. It’s super simple but the berry flavor is outstanding.

I’m going to call this recipe for Sheetpan Strawberry Shortcake the last “hurrah” of summer. And I didn’t just stop at Strawberries. This time, I tossed on a few blueberries and raspberries for a Patriotic red, white, and blue theme. Perfect for a summer holiday.

Happy Valentine’s Day! Valentine’s Day is often thought of as the day we celebrate our sweetheart. Flowers, chocolate, cards, and cupcakes are all appropriate. Yeah, see how I worked that Cupcake in? Slick, huh? In my defense, these are Raspberry Filled Cupcakes with White Chocolate Buttercream. It’s not to be missed.
