Sweet Tooth

I don't know if it is pregnancy or the fact that it is summer, but I have seriously been craving sweets. Especially recipes that utilize fresh fruit. Over the past several weeks I have been incorporating homemade desserts into our weekly menu and I haven't been disappointed. They may not be great for our waistlines, but they sure are yummy.

Blackberry Cobbler

Daniel gave it 4.86/5 stars
We ate it with Vanilla Frozen Yogurt and it was delish.

Recipe from Pioneer Woman {via Three Many Cooks}

Peach Cobbler with Vanilla Frozen Yogurt

Daniel gave it 4.96/5 stars

I loved this and think it was even better as leftovers.
Recipe from Pink Parsley

Homemade Strawberry Gelato

 Daniel gave it 4.63/5 stars
Excellent use of my ice cream maker. 
Would be great with any kind of berry.

Pineapple Upside Down Cake

Daniel gave it 4.45/5 stars

Unfortunately a lot of the pineapple juice was lost when I flipped it. 

I also think I needed to cook it a bit longer. 

It was good, but could have been better.

Red, White and Blueberry Trifle

Daniel gave it 4.91/5 stars

I was going to use this recipe from Gina's Skinny Recipes. 

Sadly my internet was down, so I winged it.

White chocolate pudding layered with berries, angel food cake and cool whip = yummmm.

This dish was excellent for breakfast as well as dessert.

 

Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies with Vanilla Frozen Yogurt
Daniel gave it 4.95/5 stars

So this was a non-fruit recipe, but sometimes you just crave chocolate. 

The cookies were ginormous. 

The first batch was really running... I think the batter needed to sit first. 

Overall, definitely excellent cookies.
