I love, love, love soft pretzels. I must make these!

I’m pretty sure that everyone needs to have these in their life. I know I do!

I keep meaning to try some type of fig ice cream since I love figs so much, and never get around to it. This looks delicious!
Peanut Butter S’mores Bars (i d l e w i f e)
I have made s’more nut bars before, but of course I think peanut butter makes just about everything better!

Genius cheesecake! Graham cracker crust, milk chocolate cheesecake, and topped with a toasted marshmallow topping.

Hi Lisa, Nope, no regatta this weekend. We had some family/friend picnics to attend, and generally not a fan of the massive crowds.

The fig gelato was made by my friend Liz! I was at her home when she served it and it was really nice. Not too sweet and very refreshing!
