Fresh Grilled Peach Sundaes

By //  by Life In Pleasantville Leave a Comment

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 …

No-Bake Lemon Mousse Cheesecake

By //  by Life In Pleasantville 2 Comments

Hi guys, this is my first post here at Life In Pleasantville and I am hoping it's a yummy one.  I was feeling all Springy (is that even a word?) and my mind drifted off to sunshine, yellow and then whoaaa!  Cheesecake, Lemon Mousse Cheesecake to be exact.   It's been awhile! Feeling like I should share this amazing burst of pure deliciousness on a plate with you and then thinking maybe my first post should be something more.  I am not exactly sure what I mean by more but …

Fruit and Vanilla-Almond Cream

By //  by Anne Radcliffe 3 Comments

Ah summer, AKA dreaded season of extensive potlucks and family barbecues. You may think to yourself, "What's the big deal, you go to the store and buy a pre-sliced Pumpernickel loaf with a tub of spinach dip."  WE DON'T DO THAT HERE, eh? You see, I'm originally from the southern US and raised by an era of people who would rather die than serve a guest something that wasn't made by hand. I'm pretty sure there's a law that involves tarring and feathering, and nasty whispers about your …

Nanny’s Best Date Squares

By //  by Candace Sampson 1 Comment

There is a method to my madness in this space, and it's this; Life in Pleasantville is and always will be a record of my time here for my daughters. Yes, I write with you in mind, but ultimately this is where I hope my children will come to find that favourite recipe I used to make them, or find one of my Mom's best recipes or to look up a vacation memory. I hope that one day they'll add to this online journal for their own children. Pretty deep for sharing my mom's Best Date Squares recipe, …

Maple Cream Pie

By //  by Candace Sampson 29 Comments

As a Canadian, there are two things that run in my veins; patriotic pride and maple syrup. It's true. I'm crazy sweet....once you get to know me. Okay, I kid, but I do love the nectar of the gods, maple syrup, intensely. I am always looking for ways to include this syrupy sweetness into my cooking and that's why I love this Maple Cream Pie. This pie is the perfect way to herald spring's arrival, because when the syrup is running, spring can't be far behind. This is a perfect way to end Easter …
