Peach Crumb Bars


Peaches are one of those fruits that just scream summer. The smell alone is something rather intoxicating, reminiscent of picnics, playgrounds and ocean side daytrips. This recipe captures the magic of the peach and combines it with nutmeg and cinnamon, creating a spicy peach pie-like filling. The buttery crust is more on the crumbly side, which makes it a delightful substitute for coffee cake and, let’s face it, a really good excuse to eat dessert for breakfast (although not having an excuse has never actually stopped me from eating dessert for breakfast.) These bars are also perfect for potlucks or picnics, so feel free to spread the summery goodness with your friends and family.

Margarita Cupcake Bites


Oh, summertime. Once the weather begins to heat up and the sun retreats from hibernation, I am all about soaking up every ounce of the season, from picnics to beach days. The bright (and slightly boozy) flavor of these margarita cupcakes is sure to be a hit at any summer BBQ or potluck, and the mini size is just enough for a treat which is satisfying but not too heavy.
