    Summer

    While spring introduces the first fruit, summer is when I begin to add bolder flavors. As the seasons change, the in-season flavors follow along. Try a hint of the tropics, and move on to enjoying cold and creamy cheesecake bites. I guarantee these will all be a hit!

    Think of all the wonderful gatherings that are ahead, when we can all be outside and enjoy fun and company. Try some cookies without chocolate or icing so they hold up well to sun and fun. You might even try freezing cookies and cheesecake bites alike for a refreshing treat.
