I made these bars one afternoon when I had too many blueberries in the fridge and a serious craving for something lemony and fresh. My youngest had just asked for lemonade, and it hit me—what if I baked that flavor into a dessert?

They turned out so bright, tangy, and soft with the juiciest pops of...

This mango mousse was born out of a lazy summer craving for something cold, creamy, and fruity — without the heaviness of a typical dessert. I had a ripe mango, some Greek yogurt, and honey... and within minutes, this golden, cloud-like mousse came to life. It’s now one of my favorite summer recipes...

Sarah’s Story:

I first made strawberry panna cotta for a little dinner party when I wanted something beautiful but not complicated. I used Greek yogurt instead of heavy cream, fresh strawberries from the farmer’s market, and a drizzle of honey — and it turned out so creamy and light, no one believe...

Sarah’s Story:

I know — corn in ice cream sounds wild. But trust me, the first time I tried it at a local fair, I was hooked. Sweet, creamy, and a little nostalgic, it tastes like summer in the best way. Now I make it at home using fresh corn from the farmer’s market, Greek yogurt or coconut milk, ...

Sarah’s Story:

This gelato happened on a hot day with a bowl of overripe peaches and no ice cream in the freezer. I blended them up with a little coconut cream and froze it — and oh my goodness, it was silky, sweet, and so fresh. Now we make versions of this all summer long with whatever fruit’s in...

Sarah’s Story:

I first had semifreddo at a little beach café while on vacation, and I was hooked. It tasted like ice cream and mousse had a baby — light, fluffy, but still creamy. When I got home, I started experimenting with key lime juice and Greek yogurt to keep it a bit lighter. Now this is our...

Sarah’s Story:

This lemon sorbet started as a way to cool off after soccer practice and errands in the heat. I didn’t want anything creamy — just clean, bright, and tart. I squeezed a few lemons, sweetened it just enough with honey, and froze it. That was it. And it’s still my go-to when I want som...

Sarah’s Story:

I discovered this recipe the summer our neighbor gifted us a basket of homegrown figs. I didn’t want to bake them — they were too beautiful as they were. So I built a no-bake tart around them with a creamy yogurt filling and a nutty crust. It turned out so simple, yet so stunning. No...

Sarah’s Story:

I made this no-bake raspberry cheesecake one summer when I was craving something creamy but couldn’t bear the idea of turning on the oven. I had fresh raspberries from the market, cream cheese in the fridge, and a little time before dinner guests arrived. It came together in minutes ...

🍽 Sarah’s Story:

This trifle came together after one of our Saturday farmer’s market runs — I had fresh blackberries, a tub of Greek yogurt, and leftover almond pound cake from the day before. The kids were begging for something sweet, and I wanted something light and pretty. The result? A healthy ...

Sarah’s Story:

I first made this Blueberry Muffin Ice Cream Cake on a hot July weekend when the oven felt off-limits and I needed something special for dessert. My kids were obsessed with muffins, I had a carton of fresh blueberries, and a tub of vanilla ice cream that needed to be used up. After a...

It was one of those sticky summer days in July, and I just couldn’t bear the thought of turning on the oven. My kids were sweaty from playing outside, and I wanted something cool, fresh, and just a little indulgent to end the day.

I remembered this Key Lime Pie I used to have as a kid on vacation i...
