Bon Appetit really hit one out of the park with their June 2009 issue, particularly with the feature called “Very Berry Desserts”. I’m all about the berry desserts and have already tried the Blueberry Shortcakes with Lemon Thyme Biscuits — I still need to work on the texture of the gluten free version of the biscuits to get them just right before I post about them here.

You didn’t think that I’d leave you hanging with a recipe for luscious buttercream and nothing on which to slather it, now, did you? Well, I guess I did leave you hanging for a few days, but I’m here today to tell you all about the most incredible whoopie pies (aka gobs) that I’ve ever eaten. I’m not speaking in hyperbole, either. These things were awesome, better even than the gluten and sugar-filled version, in my opinion, anyway.

The first strawberries of the season started showing up a few weeks ago in the local grocery stores and, while they’re trucked in from farms in California and aren’t nearly as sweet and tasty as the ones that come from closer to home during peak strawberry season, I still can’t resist buying some every week. Making “pre-season” strawberry desserts gives me more practice for when the real deal starts showing up in the produce section, or at least that’s my justification.

Sweet potatoes are often associated with autumn and Thanksgiving, but I happily eat them all year long. Besides tasting great, they’re also packed with healthy nutrients like magnesium, Vitamin C, and beta carotene. Sweet potatoes: they do a body good. Please don’t sue me, National Dairy Council!

Easter is upon us, and I always love to see the creative ideas that people have for decorating Easter eggs. This year, I’ve added my own egg craft to the mix: sparkly polka dotted Easter eggs.
