This is a guest post from my friend, Laura at Real Mom Kitchen. She has a new cook book out. I had a chance to look through it recently and it is full of easy, delicious recipes. Please welcome Laura as she shares one of her recipes with us.

Summer is a great time to enjoy fresh fruit. I also love to serve fresh fruit with a nice dip. This recipe for Lemon Cheesecake Fruit Dip from my new cookbook “Real Mom Kitchen Recipes” is an excellent choice to pair with the abundance for fresh summer fruit. It really does taste like lemon cheesecake but in a dip-able form. Who wouldn’t love to eat fresh fruit with a dip that tastes like cheesecake? Lemon adds such freshness to any dish and the lemon in this dip also adds a nice fresh flavor. [Read more…] about Lemon Cheesecake Fruit Dip

Banana Split Dessert

Last weekend we celebrated my in-laws 50th wedding anniversary in Gatlinburg, TN. All of their children and grandchildren came together in a cabin to play games, watch home movies, take photos and eat. This is one of the desserts we had.

I had never noticed this recipe before, but found it in two of my cookbooks while searching dessert recipes. Later that same day, I saw the recipe posted on a message board. I altered all 3 of the recipes to come up with this version.

The whipped cream looks a little funny on top because I had another dessert stacked on the lid in the cooler and it smooshed a bit. Also, I meant to add nuts to the top and forgot all about them. I found them hiding in a corner while cleaning up.

Peanut Butter Cheater Smores and a Poll

July 11, 2009 by Tiffany King 15 Comments

No fire? No stick? No problem. This is #3 in the Peanut Butter Sandwich 365 challenge. Cinnamon graham crackers, creamy peanut butter, Nutella and Marshmallow Cream. It would probably be even better if you could start a fire, grab a stick and roast a real marshmallow, but this quick version was delish.

I also have a poll for you today. I’m wondering if you are a “stick to the recipe” type of cook or if you see recipes more as guidelines for cooking.
