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!

Amish Peanut Butter Pie
Today I’m featuring a pie that I barely mentioned on my blog a long time ago! I recently made this jewel again and was reminded why it was a favorite of ours!
Years ago while living in Indiana, we frequented a restaurant, Lakeview, that served an amazing Peanut Butter Pie. Then one day a friend from church invited us over for dinner and she served Peanut Butter Pie for dessert that tasted exactly like the pie we loved so much! I was so happy when she willingly shared her recipe with me! The “secret” that makes this pie different than many Peanut Butter Pies is the crumbly peanut butter mixture that is hidden under the filling and then also adorns the top of the pie! It’s so good!
Chocolate Mocha Cream Cake
I’m not sure if there’s any better dessert for a meal than a moist chocolate cake! I’m happy to share a recipe with you that is amazing, and also reduced in fat and calories!!
Father’s Day dinner was a collaboration between my daughter Alli and me. She did the main meal and we ate that at her house. She fixed a Roasted chicken done in her air fryer on the slow cook mode. When we got home from church she crisped up the skin in the air fryer and it was so good! She and I both LOVE the crispy skin on roasted chicken! She also fixed a delicious salad and potatoes.
I got to fix dessert and we came to my house to enjoy it…and let the boys play in the pool we had just put up!
