By //  by Life In Pleasantville Leave a Comment

When you're short on time but big on aspiration, this recipe will definitely save your life!  2-Ingredient 7UP Cupcakes make delicious and simple Strawberry Shortcakes in a jiffy. Dierks Bentley's "What was I thinking?" kept going around inside my head.  Seriously, I must have had a little something wrong (or a lot) with my head that day, to even consider catering dessert for two hundred people (wedding dinner).  Not just dessert, strawberry shortcake, made with cake, …

Strawberry Rhubarb Yogurt Custard Pots With Hans Dairy

By //  by Candace Sampson 1 Comment

To me there is no more perfect flavour combination than strawberry and rhubarb. In fact one of my favourite summers desserts is Strawberry Rhubarb Custard Pie but with one caveat; I hate making pie. So when I was recently asked to bring a dessert for the season's first outdoor barbecue I decided to skip the time consuming crust and make my life easier by making Strawberry Rhubarb Yogurt Custard Pots. I was little worried about not baking the custard though, like I normally would in a pie. …

Fresh Grilled Peach Sundaes

If you're looking for an easy and delicious dessert idea that will wrap-up a perfect BBQ dinner, then Fresh Grilled Peach Sundaes are it! The peaches grill up in minutes and they pair well with creamy vanilla ice cream. Choose your topping, a dollop of whipped cream and it's yum in a bowl. Grilling is a favourite way to cook in the summer in most households, mine included. Food tastes amazing, the heat and work is kept outside, and there's not much clean …

Forget The Rest, This is The Best Coconut Cream Pie

By //  by Candace Sampson Leave a Comment

Dear Daughters, Let me tell you the story about how I came across the Best Coconut Cream Pie ever. You see, your Boppy (for my readers, this what my girls call their grandfather), used to rave to me about how his sister, your Great Aunt Patricia, used to make him the best Coconut Cream Pie. Your Boppy came from a big family, so when he was just a boy, his oldest sister was married with children of her own and lived just down the road from him. After school, he would rush to her …
