Bake with Someone you Love!
I’ve got a real special treat for y’all today! The thing I love the most about blogging are the friendships you make! A fellow blogger, Lauren at Sew You Think You Can Cook is due in November with her second son! My friend Tara at Tara’s Multicultural Table thought it would be fitting to throw her a surprise virtual baby shower showcasing some of our favorite Thanksgiving themed recipes since its Laurens favorite holiday!…
In my opinion, you cannot get more Southern summer than a good peach cobbler. If you are from anywhere in the south, especially Texas, I’m sure you have some good memories that involve peach cobbler and your family. Any that come to mind? One of my mom’s special desserts was a peach cobbler. Admittedly, I am not a big peach fan, nor have I ever been. But when you combine fruit with a cakelike dish, I’m sold. Top it off with some homemade vanilla Ice Cream and we’re cooking with fire. The aroma of it wafting through the house as it comes out of the oven is enough to draw anyone’s attention into the kitchen….
These past few weekends have really helped me get a few new recipes in. I think I like to tell you all that we have company over when I post these because I don’t want you to think I eat this way all the time. Good news is, these triple berry trifles are at least a semi-healthy dessert. It’s light and refreshing and the operative word lately…easy. Great to have ready for the 4th of July too!

A few weeks ago I saw some bloggers that I follow post pictures of some marshmallow treats I absolutely wanted to get my hands on. I quickly searched and found them, ordered the sampler and it was at my door a couple days later. Malvi makes homemade marshmallows, cookies and marshmallow sandwiches. They are AMAZING, fair trade and all natural with no dyes, corn syrup or artificial flavoring. My favorite are these salted caramel cookie treats. So I was excited to get the opportunity to try out some more products and create something in the kitchen. (Make sure to scroll to the bottom for the giveaway!)

What else are you supposed to do on a cold rainy Sunday afternoon in east Texas? Bake cookies of course with your adorable todder. It must have been the thing to do because my friend Brooke called to ask a cookie related question at the exact time we were ‘making’ them. (Adorable side note, Kirkley always says we’re going to ‘make’ instead of ‘bake’. I love it)….
