Raspberry Rose Cream Puffs

Raspberry heaven! A light, airy pastry filled with raspberry whipped cream and topped with dark chocolate ganache : )

These French pastries are so buttery & light. I made cream puffs once …decades ago 🤫and felt intimidated. Re-visiting these adorable desserts with minimal anxiety + a fun summery twist! I highly recommend making the raspberry whipped cream {even if you don’t bake} ~ it’s beyond delicious!! I made extra because it’s so darn good 💃

How the heck do you pronounce choux? = shoo. I hope you have an awesome & safe day 💛😉

Garlic Cheddar Biscuits

Cheesy buttery garlic goodness! So fluffy & dreamy straight from the oven : )

Similar to a popular restaurant biscuit! They’re so simple & delicious. Flaky with the perfect amount of cheese & garlic. Great for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

I originally planned to use news paper to line the mini loaf pan however, the brown rustic muffin liners {which I love} added a nice touch. A helpful tip: if you don’t own round cookie or biscuit cutters… use the top of a glass similar in diameter.

Homemade biscuits are the best! I hope you have an awesome & safe weekend 🙂🧡☺️ #butteryourbuns #homemadebiscuits

Spring Pea Pasta with Burrata

Eat your peas! I can still hear my Mom saying those very words. Bright sweet peas tossed with ditalini pasta, seasonings & a splash of lemon makes a perfect side or dinner dish : )

Peas were never my favorite however, I’ve grown to enjoy them. Perhaps it’s the combination with pasta 😁

A light, refreshing salad with fantastic flavors. The burrata is similar to mozzarella — the cheesy goodness inside is beyond delicious! 💚 #haveagreatday #joyofcooking

Grilled Pineapple and Coconut Ice Cream

Pina colada on a plate 😉 Extra yummy grilled fruit with shredded coconut flakes & lime zest ~ Yes : )

I made no churn coconut ice cream for National Ice Cream Day {yesterday}. It’s absolutely delicious on its own. Have you tried grilled fruit…apples, peaches or watermelon? Grilling fresh fruit enhances the flavor! Your taste buds will thank you.

Homemade Blueberry Pop Tarts

Blueberry Pop Tarts! Bursting with blueberry filling & topped with a sweet vanilla glaze : )

My first time making homemade pop tarts — these cute snacks are easier to make than I expected. They may not be the prettiest but they’re definitely the yummiest! Fresh blueberries simmered with sugar & a splash of lemon. If the glaze is too thick, add a teaspoon {or less} of water. I also added 1/2 TSP of vanilla extract to the confectioner’s glaze.

A fun idea for kids! Have an awesome & safe day ☀️💛😃
