The 4th of July is almost here and summer is in full swing! It’s strawberry shortcake time and what do you need for strawberry shortcake? Biscuits! This recipe was handed down by my great grandmother Thompson. My mother now makes these biscuits and she’s the expert — they are light, fluffy, and melt in your mouth. I hope you will enjoy these as much as the Thompsons have for generations.

Vanilla Panna Cotta
This is a delicious, warm weather dessert that is SO simple to prepare. Five simple ingredients get this panna cotta made quickly and give you more time to spend outside in the sunshine! Best of all, it only uses the stovetop for 10 minutes so you don’t heat up your kitchen either!
Berry Rhubarb Sauce
Bright, tangy berry rhubarb sauce has lovely color and flavor. It is the perfect compliment to rich, creamy desserts.
Cornbread
It’s barbecue season and cornbread is a simple, quick, delicious side to add to your table! This cornbread can be in the oven in 10 minutes and on the table in half an hour. Perfect when you want to be outside enjoying the weather rather than inside slaving over the oven!
Gluten Free Chocolate Almond Cookies
These gluten free chocolate almond cookies are really easy to make, fudgy and delicious. Best of all, they are perfect for anyone who can’t have flour.
Torta De Santiago
My sweetheart just returned from a 340 km hike across the north of Spain. He walked the Camino Primitivo from Oviedo to Santiago de Compostela and he encountered torta de Santiago in many places. He enjoyed it so much he asked me to recreate this delicious Spanish almond cake for you!
Honey Oatmeal Bread
There’s something special about homemade bread. This honey oatmeal bread is great for sandwiches, toast, and everything in between. And your house will smell fabulous!
New York Crumb Cake
New York crumb cake is either delicious or disappointing – either moist and fragrant or crumbly and dry. Sour cream makes this cake moist and brown sugar and cinnamon make the crumb topping simply delicious.
Coconut Flans
Warm weather is finally here and I start thinking about lighter desserts like these coconut flans garnished with tropical fruit. These are simple, delicious, and all of the work except for putting it on a plate can be done in advance!
