Roasted Cinnamon Buttery Pears
Roasted Cinnamon Buttery Pears, simple dish showcasing the straightforward flavor of pears. They are buttery slightly sweet served as an accompaniment to pork, garnished in a winter salad, but also makes an elegant dessert for a fall dinner party, bridal brunch and quick weeknight snack. Pears rarely get center stage over apples and pumpkins in the fall, but for me, they sing fall. Roasting fruit is a purist way to dress up fruit for dessert or accompaniment to other dishes. As much as I like pears, I do not wish to mask the pure flavor of the pear with a lot of other intense flavors. When I eat pears, I want to taste pears.
Slow Roasted Fresh Strawberries
Slow Roasted Fresh Strawberries, fresh strawberries sprinkled generously with sugar, and lightly with salt and pepper, baked slowly until the strawberries release their juices and slightly caramelize. These strawberries go brilliantly in all kinds of desserts. One of my favorite things about summer is all the fresh fruit in the grocery stores. I almost always tend to buy more than we can eat, that including fresh strawberries, and I wait until the last minute to use them up before they spoil. This summer I started slow roasting half of the strawberries when I buy them. I like to roast them whole instead of slicing them. The berries hold their shape well while roasting coming out plump and luscious.
Slow Roasted Strawberry No Churn Ice Cream
Slow Roasted Strawberry No Churn Ice Cream, an intense, bold strawberry flavor created by roasting fresh strawberries and incorporating them into a no churn ice cream recipe.

It took me a while to get on the no churn ice cream wagon. I wish I had joined in on the fun way to make ice cream a long time ago.
Southern Fresh Cherry Cake

Serve it plain with a dollop of whip cream or as we did with a dusting of powdered sugar. The cherries are so plentiful in the grocery stores right now and what better way to showcase them than to make a Southern Fresh Cherry Cake. I actually had to buy a couple of bags of the cherries to have enough to make the cake. My grandsons are huge fans of these little jewels. Like most fruits, fresh cherries have the pros and cons. Fresh Cherries do not have a lot of nutritional value, but they are high in water content and are super beneficial to eat in the summer to hydrate.

This is how it goes, while the peach cobbler is baking, we are making a freezer of homemade vanilla ice cream, epic! Depending on how many are at our house when we make it, I will freeze any leftovers. The same goes for the peach cobbler. If it is just Jim and me, we always have peach cobbler leftover.
American Flag Pie with Homemade Pie Crust
American Flag Pie, is made with a homemade pie crust that brings this pie to a rich balance of buttery flakiness as well as a luscious sweet-tart taste of homemade pie filling. My Mother taught me long ago that a pie is only as good as the crust. There is some high quality ready made pie crust in the stores today, but when I was growing up, that was not the case. I learned to make pie dough from my Mother and perfected it in my Home Economics class in high school. I recommend making a homemade pie crust if at all possible. For the American Flag Pie recipe, I use one of my favorite pie crust recipes.
