Did you know that the month of June is Dairy Month?  No, really, a whole month set aside to honor and enjoy all things dairy.  Cream, butter, milk…they all get their time in the spotlight.

So this week I decided to put a few of my favorite dairy products together to see what yumminess I could turn it into.  I was able to get three of the main ingredients to be milk products.  Then I added chocolate for good measure.

So you have probably heard me say before how big a deal breakfast is at my house and, of course, living in Texas, Tex-Mex is too. One of my family’s favorite things to do on the weekend is go to one of the many Tex-Mex restaurants in Waco on Saturday morning for breakfast. It’s my favorite because I get a reprieve from being the cook and cleaning staff at the house. It is my husband and daughter’s favorite because they get to have chorizo.

Okay, so I know that the first day of summer is technically not until June 21, but when you combine the heat, the school year ending in a matter of days and all of the garden pictures my friends are posting on Facebook, I just can’t help but get a little ahead of myself. I am so ready for summer barbecues, swim parties, evenings grilling in the backyard and water sprinklers.

I love making treats for Butters. As we get closer to summer, I was looking for something to make for her – something that would not only fulfill her sweet tooth, but also not make her bounce off the walls like the average four-year old does when something fun is coming soon. Unfortunately, to go along with the fun is the Texas heat. So what could I do to make the unofficial start of summer fun? How about a peach popsicle?

Have you ever had something stuck in your head and it just won’t get out…like a song, an idea or even a recipe?  This seems to happen to me constantly.  If it is a song, I have to sing it out loud before I can get it out.  An idea, yep, I have to write it down or type it into my phone.  I just can’t seem to focus once something gets stuck in there.  I guess you could call this a character flaw.
