————————————————————-

For some reason, I’ve have lost interest in most desserts.  I eat ice cream and the occasional piece of chocolate but cupcakes, cookies, pies- nothing has really called out to me.

Until I started getting summer fruits.  I actually made this before I made the peach cobbler (M was severely disappointed in this dish- he wanted a cherry cobbler) but for me, this was close to one of the best things I have made all summer.

The sweet cherries gave me the ability to add less sugar than I normally would and helped to keep the calorie count down (although these were still kind of high but not too terribly bad.)  I love summer fruits- they make everything taste better!

Happy Monday Everyone!

    This looks perfect for BC cherry season. It also pains me even to view it because when it comes to cherries, I will never learn. Every year, without fail, I eat enough cherries to incapacitate a bull moose. And I curl up, hold my stomach and die. But um.. Cherries in baked goods don’t count right? right??

    I have a side question…. could you please tell me what fonts you are using in your titles and body on your pages (two different fonts)? They look somewhat like 2peas fonts but not certain. Thanks so kindly and have a great day.
