Raspberries with Framboise & Cream

I love berries & cream. Who doesn’t? I’m always trying to find new combinations so with this one, I splashed a little bit of Framboise on my fresh raspberries and topped them with a dollop of whipped cream. The Framboise (raspberry liqueur) adds a nice sweetness to the mix while making the berries POP! I love how something simple can be elevated with a little liqueur. You should definitely try Raspberries with Framboise & Cream for a great snack/dessert.

Cherry Pie Crumble Bars

These Cherry Pie Crumble Bars have three of my favorite words in it. Pie. Crumble. Bar.

All three things I like to eat. Throw some juicy cherries into the mix and now we’re talking!

I froze half of this batch because I didn’t want to have all of them sitting on my kitchen counter…taunting me…and then in the name of research I found out that they’re even better when you eat them frozen. Research, man. RESEARCH.

Corn & Shrimp Chowder

I suppose every Summer there are a few cold nights thrown into the mix. I like to imagine sitting out on a porch somewhere in New England along the water….eating bowls of this soup with hunks of garlic bread. I may or may be wrapped in a blanket…sitting in an adirondack chair. Hopefully there’s a foot rest on that chair…I gotta balance soup on my lap. Bugs are not apart of this fantasy.

If you can’t get enough fresh sweet corn this Summer, this Corn & Shrimp Chowder is for you. The soup is light, perfectly chunky with the potatoes and shrimp and if you’re like me, you’ll add a little hot sauce & extra Old Bay Seasoning at the end. That Old Bay is my old bae!

This is another good excuse to have garlic bread on the grill this summer.

Cinnamon Peaches with Cookies & Cream

I sliced some peaches the other day…and instead of eating them plain I thought about how much I’d like to have a piece of peach pie. But alas….no peach pie in sight. So, I sprinkled cinnamon sugar on top followed by oatmeal cookie pieces and then a dollop of vanilla ice cream (made with coconut milk). Pretty close to pie. Maybe next time I’ll heat the peaches first. You should make Cinnamon Peaches with Cookies & Cream. To see more of my Thursday Snack Ideas, follow my Pinterest Board!
