The Dessert Menu

Anybody save room for dessert? What are we having?

I baked myself a small batch of chocolate chip cookies for myself. I've had a taste for them for a while now.

Peanut butter pie. yum!

We eat copious amounts of yoghurt for dessert. Fresh fruit, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, sliced bananas, blackberries, all in a bowl of Greek yoghurt, topped with a handful of mixed nuts, crushed. Does wonders in keeping the weight down, but a word of caution if you are tempted to try it out. It is extremely laxative.

Girl Scout shortbread. It's that time of the year.

Fresh Donuts & coffee is one of my favorite desserts, I like these twists with a light sugar coating.

Cherries Jubilee. I know that there are a multitude of recipes... but I use fresh cherries, freshly squeezed lemon juice, sugar, and dark rum (not brandy) for mine. Oh... and home made (or the next best thing: the house brand that they sell in bulk at Costco) vanilla ice cream.

Bad news is that fresh cherries are only in season for a short period. Which is why the good Lord inspired someone to create Bananas Foster.

Sadly, we usually only eat dessert on Sundays. Nothing new to report until then!

You are smarter than we are - we eat dessert most nights (but not always). Last night was dessert free.

That said, I'm not against dessert for breakfast. Today, the green market near us is open (they come once a week) and one stand makes these incredible sticky buns. They seem genuinely homemade as in they vary from batch to batch and week to week - no corporate or professional bakery uniformity there. Some weeks they have a lot of raisons, other weeks its more about the cinnamon. My guess is that maybe the husband makes them one way, the wife another or it depends on the price of the ingredients that week - who knows, I just like the true "home made" feel. Time permitting, I'll run out and gets some for breakfast.

Same here. Buuuut... tonight I'm making a homemade apple pie! So, I'll be eating that tonight.

I did think about making pudding parfaits tonight, but I didn't have the time.

A notch down from that, simple rice pudding - home made - that is a dessert classic not to be dismissed. And, you can tell the level of diner you are in based on its rice pudding.

Wow... this is timely. I'm making rice pudding tonight. Love a good rice pudding.

Tonight it's cheap and easy and kid pleasy......but all this talk about pudding, and this box of cookies, has me major craving some good ol' banana pudding, a southern staple. I might have to come up with some this weekend.

Stopped by my local diner to pick up a couple of eclairs for dessert (one now and one tonight):

Those look amazing, FF!

Have been cutting down on bread and sweets so no desserts for me. But a few days ago couldn't stand it any longer and made a pan of corn bread. So I had corn bread with butter and molasses, corn bread with butter and jam, and corn bread with my chili until I ran out of corn bread.

Picked these puppies up yesterday from the same diner that had the above eclairs. One is already gone, the other will not survive the day:

You're killing me, FF!

We didn't have dessert Sunday, so I made cheese pie last night, for pi day.
