Even as someone who cooks and bakes from scratch on a regular basis, I fall back way too often on coffee shop drinks or bottled lemonades from the store.

And then I remember that I can make my own iced shaken espresso or homemade strawberry lemonade or chai concentrate and it becomes a hyperfixation for a while. 

Last summer I was all about my watermelon lemonade and this year I’m all about this blueberry lemonade. It’s got a great blueberry flavor and is just the right amount of tart and sweet.

There’s nothing better than a cold glass of this lemonade while hanging out next to the pool!

If you grew up thinking that classic pecan pie and fruit pies were your only pie options, think again.

Don’t get me wrong; I love a slice of homemade cherry pie or apple crumb pie, but during the summer I really love cool and creamy pies.

I’m talking about pie recipes like no-bake s’mores pie, lemon icebox pie, or rich peanut butter pie. These pies require very little to no baking and are served chilled, so they are both a satisfying sweet treat and cool you down on a hot summer day.

This Oreo pie is my new favorite no-bake pie. It’s a dream for anyone who loves cookies and cream ice cream and wants those same flavors in pie form!

Cobblers are a summertime favorite for a reason. They’re easy, delicious, and there are so many different ways you can make them!

From biscuit-topped stone fruit cobbler and pie-crust-topped mixed berry cobbler to easy peach cobbler or easy blackberry cobbler and even savory tomato cobbler, I love them all. 

This easy cherry cobbler is a take on my homemade peach cobbler. It’s quick to make and can be made any time of year thanks to using cherry pie filling.

I know that this is primarily a baking site, but I still love sharing savory recipes with you all from time to time.

After all, we can’t survive on cheesecake alone, as much as I wish we could. 

Summer is one time of year when I really love to dig into savory recipes. Simple grilling recipes, appetizers, and especially easy summer salads are things I love to make at home, so of course I want to share them with my readers!

This watermelon feta salad is one recipe that I’m really looking forward to making all summer long and I think you’ll feel the same way.

Shrimp is one of my favorite foods. Honestly, I would choose it over a steak any day of the week.

Creamy pesto pasta with shrimp is one of my favorite date-night-in meals and it’s pretty hard to beat grilled garlic basil shrimp. And lately, all I can think about are these easy shrimp tacos.

If there’s one thing that the world has tried to tell us, it’s that grilling is for Dads and Dads only. But I am here to tell you that anyone can grill up a fantastic dinner.

So if you’ve been intimidated by firing up the grill before, set aside your nerves and give it a try! You can even dip your toe into the grilling waters by trying out a grill pan indoors before you head to the backyard with a gas or charcoal grill.

After all, wouldn’t it be fun to celebrate Dad this Father’s Day by making him a delicious dinner on the grill? These grilled pork chops are a great starting point – they’re super flavorful, juicy, and easy to make!

The instant summer hits, I start craving all the pineapple. There’s just something about a perfectly sweet pineapple that is so delicious and refreshing on a hot summer day.

I love to throw it on the grill for simple grilled pineapple, turn it into pineapple fluff, and I really love using it in cakes.

Pineapple upside-down cake might be the most well-known cake that uses pineapple in it, but it’s not the only one! My pineapple cake with cream cheese frosting is always a hit, pineapple angel food cake is a light and fluffy delight, and cherry pineapple dump cake and pineapple dump cake are perfect for taking to any cookout.

And today we’re going to add this easy pineapple cake to that list!

One thing we do really well here in the Midwest is summer produce. From the very best sweet corn to the juiciest strawberries and blueberries, our farmers sure know what they’re doing.

Most of the country’s tart cherries come out of Michigan. If you live in Michigan or one of the neighboring states, you probably have seen piles of these bright red beauties at your farmers’ markets.

This year, make sure you grab some and bring them home to make this sour cherry pie.

I come from a cheesecake obsessed family. Whether it’s mini cheesecakes for a spring birthday party or a pumpkin cheesecake on Thanksgiving, a cheesecake of some variety graces our table for almost every occasion. 

It’s one of those desserts that immediately takes me back to being a kid and baking with my Nana.

Perched up on a kitchen stool, I’d help her every step of the way. From sifting cups of flour and cutting shapes into pie dough to rolling up the perfect pumpkin roll, I was always her right hand girl. 

Many times, we’d bake the day away and then deliver our sweet treats to neighbors, church friends, and family. I loved every minute of it. In that kitchen is where my love for baking began.

So of course, any time I make cheesecake, whether it’s Nana’s easy cheesecake or these mini lemon cheesecakes, I always think of her.

I’m a self-professed sugar cookie connoisseur. I’ll take ’em frosted, cut-out, rolled in sugar, soft, chewy, crispy, or straight out of the plastic container from the bakery section at Walmart.

What I’m saying is that I’m fairly obsessed with sugar cookies and I’m honestly not very picky about them.

Wait, maybe that makes me less of a connoisseur and more of a human sugar cookie garbage disposal. Whatevs.

While I do appreciate a beautiful sugar cookie complete with royal icing, I’m more of a buttercream type of girl. And I’m impatient. It’s why I love no-chill sugar cookies when I do want to make cut-outs.

And I’m definitely not fancy, so these easy sugar cookies are totally my thing. They come together in less than 10 minutes with everyday ingredients that I’m betting you have in your fridge and pantry right now.
