If this is not the hottest summer ever, than I am moving to Alaska.
Then, I could bake all year round. I think.
This should make it.
This month is going to be big. First of all, our Big Sweetie Pie is turning six. 6!! She is a big girl now. So, just like every year, Mommy is going to make a cake. She had a princess castle cake for every one of her birthdays so far. She is still insisting on having one this year. I am trying to convince her towards a big-girl cake. We will see what will come of it.
Second, this little blog is going to turn 1. One! It needs to be celebrated the right way too. Still in the works.
I am taking it easy this week, as I am sure you have noticed. I am testing some new recipes, tasting my creations, driving my Hubby nuts with all the new plugins I just neeed toooo haaaave, and putting the final touches on the design. Did I say, I am taking it easy? Yeah…
Hope your weeks is sweet and full of sprinkles!
Oh, did you watch the Olympics last night? So proud of our gymnastic team!! They were fabulous!!
xoxo,
Anna

Your black forest parfaits look so delish! Sometimes it’s way too hot to bake, but that doesn’t mean we can’t have an awesome desert! My family love cherries, so I can’t wait to try these!
I just discovered your blog tonight and I love it! : )

All those recipes were da BOMB!! I love an ice cold refreshing treat on a hot day! Our summers don’t get too unbearable here in San Diego, but I won’t let that stop me from indulging in one of these cool creations 🙂

Nami says
You can come to SF then all year around it’s pretty much similar temperature. 🙂 That being said, I kind of miss warm weather as it gets too cool/cold sometimes. 🙂 Thanks for no-bake recipes. I love your ice cream and parfait recipe here. My son turned 6 3 months ago too. I can’t wait to see your b-day cake! And 1 year anniversary is coming? (Early) Congrats!
Anna @ Crunchy Creamy Sweet says
Thanks you so much, Nami! I might reconsider about Alaska. SF here we come? 🙂
Laura says
Your parfait sounds delicious! I love chocolate with cherries :).
Anna @ Crunchy Creamy Sweet says
It’s currently my favorite combo 🙂 Thanks, Laura!
Kim Bee says
Love no bake recipes. Nothing quite like having something delicious and not having to turn on the oven.
Anna @ Crunchy Creamy Sweet says
Isn’t surprising how many great no-bake recipes are out there? I thought I will be bored the whole summer. Instead, I keep finding new ones I want to make! Thanks for stopping by, Kim! PS: The color of you red velvet ice cream is haunting me 🙂
