To me, summer means fruit: strawberries, blueberries, watermelon. Fruit on ice cream. Fruit on angel food cake. Fruit tarts. Smoothies. There are no limits! Continue reading

S’mores Popcorn Balls
I wanted to do some baking this Memorial Day weekend, so after returning home from a Saturday on the beach, I got to work. But, I was tired. The beach does that. And it was hot (I have no A/C) so the oven was off-limits. Fortunately, I had a plan that required minimal stovetop effort and was super easy. S’mores Popcorn Balls. Not only are these easy, but compared to many sweet treats they are lower in calories!
Peanut Butter-Pretzel-Chocolate Chip Cookies
What better combination than salty and sweet? Today’s recipe is for just that – cookies that combine the salt of pretzels and peanut butter with the sweet of chocolate. And added bonus, I dropped one of these into a bowl of vanilla ice cream and it did not disappoint. Continue reading

S’mores Crème Brûlée
I was enjoying dinner at a local Italian restaurant and got Crème Brûlée for dessert. It was, as expected, delicious. Crème Brûlée is surprisingly not too hard to make, so it occurred to me that a s’mores version should be possible. Sure enough, a bit of searching around online proved me right, and I’ve tweaked things to create a delicious Sweet Jumbles version.

Sopapilla Cheesecake Bars
Today’s recipe is what I would call a “cheat” recipe – it has only a few ingredients making it very easy (or, as a subcategory on this blog, “slutty jumbles”). This is a Sopapilla Cheesecake. I discovered Sopapilla several years ago in New Mexico where it is a traditional dessert. These deep-fried pastries are made with a dough similar to tortilla masa, and are best served with a drizzle of honey and perhaps a sprinkling of powdered sugar or cinnamon. The closest comparison I can come up with are beignets. Continue reading
