Stars, stripes and sweet bites 

Two easy summer desserts for your 4th 

I HAVE SAID THIS before, and I will say it again: The Fourth of July is one of my favorite holidays of the entire year, and in a month that I love! Give me long, sunny days spent by the pool, the smell of sunscreen and barbecue in the air and sun-kissed skin with a cold drink in hand, please. 

Whatever pool party or cookout I am attending or hosting, I will 100% have a red, white and blue-themed dessert in hand. These two desserts are perfect choices for you this month. Both are easy to make and absolutely delicious. There will not be any leftovers, guaranteed. 

Happy 250th birthday, America! 

5 Minute Mini Fruit Tarts

Eva needed a simple last-minute dessert for a church function. Inspired by the tiny phyllo tart shells, she created this dessert by tweaking her banana pudding recipe and adding fresh fruit on top for the perfect, bite-sized summer sweet treat. They come together in less than 10 minutes and are always a huge hit with her friends and family.
