Cookie inspiration in the summer time can be a little harder. It’s too hot to bake, I don’t necessarily want to use chocolate and cinnamon because those are “winter flavors” (who am I kidding … chocolate is any time!) so when I came across a lime and coconut cookie, I thought that this combo might be a good idea. It’s like some of my other thumbprint cookies, but uses the tropical flavors. Not the prettiest, but they taste damn good.

When I bought the ingredients for this lovely cake, I had every intention of making a cobbler. Raspberry Peach Cobbler sounded like a good idea. no? Well, for some reason, this morning it turned into an Upside Down Cake. Nothing wrong with that, but certainly far from the intent. 🙂 Turned out really really good, and start to finish, this only took about an hour. The raspberries on the edges sort of melted into the sugar solution, but that doesn’t really matter as it just made it like a jammy addition. Give it a go.
Pie! What would a 4th of July BBQ be without pie?!? Every year, I make one and this year, it ended up being Vanilla Bourbon Cherry Blueberry Pie … Cherries from from Washington State, Blueberries from Maine, Bourbon from Kentucky. That pretty much covers it. Celebrate well this weekend, folks, and Happy Independence Day!
We interrupt this holiday weekend to bring you something that is *not* a cupcake or a pie and actually bring you something *healthy*. OK, mostly healthy. I’ll be going on a picnic or two this weekend, so I thought that I would make something to stash in the basket. These Cherry Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies, with Toasted Almond Slices seemed to fit the bill.
Today is Canada Day so for my friends in the Great White North, happy celebrating. South of the border (so strange to say that in New England!) we’re gearing up for the big Independence Day weekend. Thought I would make another set of cupcakes to make the occasion, and no better excuse to make red velvet. As always, managed to drip a drop on the floor and one of the cats walked through it, leaving a nice trail of what looks like blood at first glance. Eeks!
