Love the taste of smores but don't want to build that fire in the heat?  Try this clever way of making them.
Ingredients:
marshmallows
skewers
chocolate (I used milk chocolate chips)
graham crackers
ziploc bag
rolling pin
microwave safe bowl
wax paper & baking tray

Directions:
Skewer marshmallows and set on baking tray lined with wax paper. Place a few graham crackers (I think I used about five, but add more as needed) in a large Ziploc bag and crush with rolling pin. Pour in a dish (and replace with more as needed). Melt chocolate chips in microwave on low setting stirring after each 30sec to 1min.   Holding skewer, dip marshmallow in chocolate to coat. Immediately hold over dish of graham crackers and spoon the graham cracker crumbs over the marshmallow to coat. Place on baking tray (one side will be a little flat) When you have finished with all the marshmallows, place in the fridge to harden a couple hours.

For the kids:  You can replace the skewer with a lollipop stick after set.

Red, white and blue strawberries are a simple and festive way to celebrate the 4th of July.
Ingredients:
Strawberries
White chocolate chips
Blue sugar sprinkles
Instructions:
  1. Wash the strawberries and let them dry completely. (If they are still wet, the chocolate will not stick to the berries.)
  2. Melt the white chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring it occasionally, until it is smooth and runny.
  3. Pour blue sprinkles into another bowl.
  4. Dip the strawberries in the white chocolate to cover roughly 2/3 of each berry with white chocolate.
  5. Let the excess chocolate drip back into the bowl and wipe away any globs of chocolate at the end of the berry.
  6. Then dip the strawberry into the blue sprinkles to cover roughly the bottom 1/3 of the berry with a blue stripe.
  7. Place the dipped strawberries on a baking sheet lined with waxed paper.
  8. Place the berries, uncovered, in the refrigerator to harden.
  9. Store leftover berries in the refrigerator in a sealed container. Chocolate-covered strawberries are best when eaten within 1 or 2 days of being made.

Ingredients:
2 sticks unsalted butter
1 cup sugar
2 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
3/4 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp cream of tartar
3/4 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
1 1/4 cup sour cream
2 1/4 cups all purpose flour

(1/2 cup sugar and 1 TBSP cinnamon mixed together for rolling*)

Directions:
1.Cream the butter and sugar until soft about 3 to 5 minutes. Add in the vanilla. Add in the eggs one at a time and mix until each is incorporated.

2.In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cream of tartar and nutmeg.

3.Add the flour mixture and the sour cream alternately to the egg-butter mixture in the additions. Start with the flour and end with the flour. Scrape the bowl occasionally.

4. Using an ice cream scoop, scoop out muffin batter one at a time and drop into a shallow bowl filled with the cinnamon sugar mixture. Roll the muffin around in the mixture until it is covered completely in cinnamon sugar. Place muffin into muffin tin. Depending on the size of your tins, you should get about 12 to 14 muffins. Bake them for approx. 20-22 minutes in a 350F oven or until they are golden brown.

*The original recipe calls for 1 cup sugar and 2 tbsp cinnamon, but this was way way too much for me. I ended up dumping maybe more than half of it.

What a wonderful dessert to have to finish off your Easter Dinner!  It can be made pretty quickly too!

Ingredients:
1 Loaf Pound Cake, thawed and cut into 1″ squares
1 1/2 Cups Sugar (divided)
2 Packages Cream Cheese (8 oz.)
3 Tbls Orange Juice
2 or 3 Pints Fresh Strawberries, sliced
4 Cups Whipped Cream

Directions:
In a bowl, toss strawberries with 1/2 Cup of Sugar. Set aside.

In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, orange juice, and remaining sugar until smooth.   Add 3 Cups Whipped Cream. Set aside.

In a separate bowl, add 1 Cup of the strawberries you tossed with sugar. I like to smash these to drizzle over the pound cake. Set these aside for now.

In a trifle dish (or a large pretty clear dish) , place half of the Pound Cake in the bottom.   Drizzle half of the smashed strawberries over the pound cake. Cover with half of the Cream Cheese mixture and half of the strawberries. Repeat layers.

End layers with strawberries, You may want to buy an extra pint to add fresh strawberries to the top and I end with a cup of whipped cream on top in the middle with a few strawberries neatly arranged on top.

Ingredients:
2 cups sugar
2 cups flour
2 eggs
1 teaspoon baking soda (if you use self rising flour-omit this)
1 cup sour cream
2/3 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup butter
1 cup water

Frosting:
1/2 cup butter
2/3 cups creamy peanut butter
6 tablespoons milk
2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

For cake:
Combine sugar and flour and set aside. In a medium bowl mix eggs, baking soda, and sour cream well. Set aside. In a small saucepan combine peanut butter, butter, and water. Bring to a boil. Add the boiled mixture to the flour mixture. Stir and add sour cream mixture. Pour into a 15×10 inch sheet/jellyroll type pan. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes or until done. Test by inserting toothpick in the center of the cake.

Frosting:
Combine the butter, peanut butter, and milk in a saucepan. Bring to a boil stirring constantly. Add the powdered sugar and the vanilla. Mix well. It will be thick. Pour over cake while both are still warm. My frosting did drip over the sides a little, so pour and spread slowly. Let cool, slice, and serve.
