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.

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?

Some of you may know and others may not, but we have a special arrival coming this week.  Well, not us, but a very important member of our staff.  Amanda Hill and her husband, Erik, are anxiously awaiting the arrival of their first baby.  By the time you read this, they probably will be holding their bouncing baby boy for the first time, and we are all so very excited for them.

Hippity hop, hippity hop! It’s time for that little cotton tail. And I know just what to make him or her, whatever the case may be. You may already have your Easter menu planned, but before you head to the grocery store, let me give you one more idea. Here’s a sweet treat that is perfect for the season and even sneaks a few healthy ingredients past your picky eaters.

I found it! The end of the rainbow where the gold is hidden. It won’t make me rich, but it sure does taste good. I’m talking about “out-of-this-world good” truffles that don’t take forever to make.

And since I will be very busy this weekend with a certain little someone’s birthday (Happy birthday, Butters!), I thought this might be just right for Sunday dessert. These also are a festive dessert if you’re headed to a St. Patrick’s Day shindig.
