Super Simple No Bake Pies
Any recipe that is “no bake” is pretty amazing. The recipes are typically simple to make and often don’t take a lot of time (just plan ahead so the pie has time to chill). My favorite “no bake” recipes are for dessert. You can make some delicious bars, pies, etc. without ever turning on your oven. So, if you aren’t a baker or don’t have a lot of experience baking, these pies are for you! The recipes I want to share with you today are for 4 different No Bake Pies.

Individual Cheesecakes
Cheesecake is one of my favorite desserts. It comes in a variety of flavors, can be fruity or sweet, and is usually a crowd pleaser. Mini cheesecakes are fun for a party or holiday because you can make a few different varieties, or perhaps make one plain batch but let your guests add their own toppings and have a simple yet delicious dessert. One of the recipes I want to share with you today is for Mini Salted Caramel Cheesecakes. If you like cheesecake and caramel, these are for you! The crust is a homemade graham cracker crust. The cheesecake has a creamy texture, sweet taste that might be considered a little rich to some, with a slight tanginess, which comes from the cream cheese. The mini cheesecakes are then doused in a generous amount of caramel sauce and sprinkled with salt. SO GOOD! The recipe can be found here. Start by preheating the oven to 350 … Continue reading

Kentucky Derby Delights
The Kentucky Derby is an annual horse race held in, you guessed it, Kentucky. Typically, the race is scheduled on the first Saturday in May but thanks to COVID and the current pandemic status, it was rescheduled for September 5, 2020. I’ve never been to the Derby and would love to go someday but until that happens, I’m content staying home and watching it on TV. Like most other holidays or celebrations, there will be themed food. Did you expect anything else? 🙂 Our appetizer will be Pimento Cheese Spread with sliced baguette. Pimento Cheese Spread is essentially the caviar of the South. It’s very cheesy and tangy, and there is nothing quite like it. It’s a great comfort food…and super easy to make! The recipe can be found here. Start by softening the cream cheese. You can do this by letting the cream cheese sit on the counter for … Continue reading

Refreshing Mojitos
A Mojito is refreshing during any season, but I am partial to enjoying them during the hot summer months. If you haven’t had one, you’re in for a treat. Traditionally, a Mojito consists of white rum, sugar, lime juice, soda water, and mint. It’s the perfect combination of sweet and citrus with the wonderful aroma of fresh mint – very refreshing! I want to share with you 4 recipes today: Classic Fresh Mint Mojito Blackberry Mojito Blueberry Mojito Kiwi Blueberry Mojito Please note: Mojitos typically have a lower alcohol content, but the recipes can be adjusted to meet your individual taste. Classic Fresh Mint Mojito – It’s hard to beat the crisp, fresh taste of this traditional drink. Start by adding the mint leaves and lime juice to the bottom of 2 glasses. Use a muddler or wooden spoon to blend or mash the mint leaves in each glass. … Continue reading
