When I had a need last weekend for a dessert for a church gathering, I decided on a southern classic – Pound Cake! However, instead of the recipe that calls for a pound of butter, I went to a tried and true version that we have come to love from Cooking Light! It’s much lighter in fat, and it also includes blueberries, which makes it a perfect summertime dessert!

Peach Cobbler for Two
Because there are just the two of us eating most meals at our house, and because we try to eat healthy most days, I attempt to not keep sweets on hand! But when a celebration comes along, it seems that dessert is a special addition to the meal!
Recently on Father’s Day, I went to Taste of Home’s site to scroll through their recipes created specifically for two. I love that they offer scaled down portions! When I came across a small Peach Cobbler, I knew I had found the sweet treat we would enjoy! This was so easy and had amazing final results!

No One Will Know These Are Gluten-Free Brownies!
When I was ready to throw in the towel at making gluten-free desserts for my GF friends, I went to King Arthur to try one more recipe. I settled on Small Batch Brownies. You can make this recipe using regular all-purpose flour or gluten-free. I followed the recipe’s suggestion and used the Measure for Measure Flour. They were delicious! I loved them so much that I left a review saying, “This recipe is a keeper!”
I love that it makes four nice-sized brownies, rather than a large pan full. I was taking dinner to a gluten-free friend and only needed enough dessert for her and her husband. Perfect – all the way around!

Disney Deliciousness
How kind the Lord is to allow our D&D ministry to start back up two weekends ago. We returned to a church in Florida for a meeting. It was a great time with these precious people!
After it ended, we had the fun of meeting our daughter, Whitney and her husband, Paul at Disney World! It had been 40 years since we were there, and that was as sponsors for a school trip, so it wasn’t really a true experience of the parks. Paul and Whitney are pro’s, so she planned our trip and we got to go along for the ride (pun intended!).
Since Monday is normally recipe day here on my blog, I’m going to share some of the amazing food we ate while there. The blessing is that though we took in some calories, we walked an average of six to eight miles each day, so we got in plenty of exercise!
We didn’t just eat inside the parks; we went to the different resorts to enjoy their restaurants as well. That was one of the blessings of traveling Disney with seasoned veterans!
Here are the some of the delicious things we enjoyed and the place where we ate it…

An Easy Way to Freeze Apples
When our family went to the Apple orchard in August we picked about Sixteen pounds of apples!
We obviously weren’t going to eat them all fresh from the orchard, so I decided to freeze some of them. The methods I used were simple, and also kept them from turning brown.
