Step aside, zucchini bread--there's a new zucchini dessert in town! This chocolate zucchini cake is PERFECT for using up an abundance of zucchini from your garden, or just sneaking some extra veggies into your diet (in the most decadent way!).

Ready to up your lemonade game? This blueberry lemonade is the latest addition to my collection of flavored lemonades here on the blog. It's so pretty, flavorful, and simple to make! And it tastes SO much better than the store-bought kind.

If you thought my strawberry lemonade was refreshing, just wait until you try this watermelon lemonade! This is *the* drink of the summer; we are pairing ripe, sweet watermelon with tart, freshly squeezed lemons, cool water, and plenty of ice. Hydration never tasted (or looked!) so good!

I'd like to think of these cheesecake stuffed strawberries as the more relaxed and refreshing cousin to chocolate covered strawberries. We'll take the same sweet, tart, and plump berries, but instead of dipping them in chocolate, we'll fill them with lightly tangy and creamy cheesecake and top them with crushed graham crackers. Yum 😋

This strawberry sauce is so simple to make. It's bursting with real berry flavor and comes together in a matter of minutes on the stove with just 6 ingredients! Once you taste it, you won't reach for that store-bought canned strawberry topping ever again--trust me!

Hello, perfect, classic, beautiful blueberry pie. With its juicy, plump, fresh (or frozen) blueberry filling and flaky, buttery, foolproof pie crust, this is a recipe you're going to make all summer long!

Pour yourself a pretty little glass of this 100% homemade raspberry lemonade! Full of summertime flavor, today's recipe is incredibly simple and refreshing. We're combining bright, sweet, and tart raspberries with classic homemade lemonade, and they go amazingly well together. In fact, this is probably my favorite lemonade version on the blog!

This easy homemade raspberry sauce can be drizzled over cheesecake, ice cream, yogurt, waffles--the possibilities are endless! It has a bright, perfectly balanced flavor that is both sweet and tart (and pairs so well with a brownie sundae...yum). The best part? It tastes just as good with frozen raspberries as it does with fresh, so you can enjoy it all year long!

Looking for a way to use up garden veggies? My summer pasta is the solution! This recipe is super easy and *perfect* for using up fresh produce (especially cherry tomatoes!). It comes together quickly on the stove and is ideal for hot summer nights when you're craving pasta but don't want to feel weighed down after eating.

Many Americans (including myself!) associate bruschetta with a chopped tomato mixture served on top of crusty bread; however, the term bruschetta actually refers to the bread itself! More specifically, toasted bread that's been drizzled with olive oil and rubbed with garlic. Sounds delicious enough on its own, right?

Truly delicious homemade ice cream is refreshing summertime treat, but it can be quite a pain to make. Luckily, I've got an equally tasty recipe for no-churn ice cream that's just as satisfying as “real” ice cream with a fraction of the work and time (much like my no-bake cheesecake). You're going to love it!

To me, s'mores are the epitome of summertime snacking. This is despite the fact that I'm bad at roasting marshmallows. Luckily, I don't have to worry about eating my s'mores with half burnt, half raw marshmallows anymore, because now I have these easy s'mores cookies!

Cobblers are so underrated. They have all the flavors of homemade pie, but they are SO much easier to make. There's no rolling, crimping, or egg wash-ing, and with my recipes, you don't even have to pre-cook the filling! Today's peach cobbler recipe is all this and more; it's perfectly sweet, completely un-fussy, and bursting with fresh peach flavor balanced by a buttery, biscuit-like cobbler topping.

This chicken corn chowder is incredible. It’s creamy, but not too rich, and it has a remarkable flavor profile with just the right hints of smokiness. Every single ingredient was carefully selected, from the bacon and chicken to the veggies and spices. It's extremely satisfying without feeling too heavy, and I have a feeling you're going to want to make it alllll summer long!

Today's strawberry lemonade is simple, refreshing, and full of fresh strawberry and lemon flavor. It takes just a few minutes to make and delivers a perfectly balanced (and perfect for summer!) drink. Like in my lemonade recipe, we'll begin by making a simple syrup, which not only gives a smooth flavor, but it also ensures the sugar is fully incorporated (no more stirring to make sure it hasn't settled to the bottom!). After juicing the lemons, the next step is to add the star of the show: strawberries!

If your annual summer checklist includes grabbing a funnel cake and some caramel popcorn from your local carnival or beachside snack shack, you'll definitely want to save this recipe! While I'm certainly not suggesting you skip your annual tradition, I am suggesting that perhaps you could enjoy this treat more than once a year. From the comfort of your own kitchen. In your pajamas. Okay, the last part isn't necessary, but let's be real, funnel cakes are essentially breakfast food...right?!

Sweet tea is a quintessential summer drink in the north and a year-round, staple beverage in the south. While you can find it in pretty much any restaurant or easily make it at home, a truly excellent sweet tea can be hard to come by. I did lots of testing to come up with the BEST sweet tea recipe, and all of my taste testers agreed--this is it!

I know some of you are going to see this and think, "Do we really need a lemonade recipe?". Sure lemonade is one of those things that can be thrown together and still taste great (like macaroni and cheese or French toast); however, having a reliable recipe is still important. Yes, lemonade is easy to make, but getting the ratios right is critical. Too much lemon and your lemonade is too tart and undrinkable, and too much water and it's, well, watered down. What I'm sharing today is a perfectly balanced lemonade recipe that everyone is going to love.

This sunshine-y lemon cake recipe is the real deal. It uses no extract, no pudding mixes, and no fancy ingredients--just fresh-squeezed, real lemon flavor. Truly the perfect balance of sweet and tart, this recipe will be a hit with lemon lovers, or anyone who enjoys their desserts on the "lighter", less rich side of things.

When life gives you lemons, make lemon curd! Have you ever made your own before? If so, then you already know that it's so much tastier than the store-bought kind. My homemade lemon curd recipe is bright and sunny, creamy and tart, and completely refreshing. Plus, it's surprisingly simple to make. So simple, in fact, that you need only five ingredients!

I gave this strawberry cake recipe a makeover a few years ago, and I'm so excited to be sharing it with you again today! This cake is packed full of fresh strawberry flavor (none of that artificial stuff or Jell-O), from the cake itself to the jam filling. To finish, we'll seal it all in with a whipped cream cheese frosting that's not too sweet. Sounds heavenly, right?
