Chocolate Cherry Brownies
Hi there! I hope you had a lovely Memorial Day weekend. Today we have another dessert recipe associated with another national day. May 26th is National Cherry Dessert Day. This Chocolate Cherry Brownie should fit the bill quite nicely! These Paleo-friendly chocolate cherry brownies are so incredibly moist and full of flavor, you won’t even miss the processed flour, sugar, and dairy ingredients found in more traditional recipes. For this version, you can use either fresh or frozen cherries. If using frozen cherries, let them thaw completely at room temperature before chopping and adding to the batter. You can also collect the juice while thawing and add it to the…

National Oatmeal Cookie Day
National Oatmeal Cookie Day — April 30th. When I think of oatmeal cookies, it reminds me of my childhood. The Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays to be exact. I am not a fan of oatmeal cookies but I was the designated cookie baker for the holiday gatherings in my family. This started when I was around 8 or 9 — I may have gotten a bit more help from my mom at first. Each year — once in November and December — I would set up and back all of the cookies that my family seemed to enjoy. Sugar cookies in lots of Christmas shapes, chocolate chip cookies, occasional peanut butter…

When I was a child, my paternal grandmother was constantly baking lovely desserts and dinners (without any recipes of course!).

Creamy Chocolate Mousse
Even while self-isolating/in lockdown, I am still looking for reasons to make chocolatey things. I have to exhibit some restraint because it is so easy to eat and eat and eat right now! I finally bought one of those individual brownie pans — the ones that give you 4 corners (the best part!) on each brownie. So each brownie is its own little piece of heaven! So making too many of those is a bad idea right now. Along the lines of chocolate (yum!) — today is National Chocolate Mousse Day! I have an easy mousse recipe on the blog today. These mousse cups are creamy and light and quite…

Banana Cream Pie
Did you know that there is a Banana Cream Pie Day? I didn’t until this year! March 2nd is Banana Cream Pie Day! It sounds like such a fun-type of day. This pie has been in recipe books since the 19th century. The filling is similar to the filling in many French tarts. The creamy custard filling can be topped with whipped cream, coconut, more bananas, nuts, or even chocolate. Interesting fact: The English version of this pie is called “banoffee” pie because it’s a cross between banana and toffee. So, celebrate the day by creating one of your own!
