Lemon Peach Parfaits
These lemon peach parfaits not only look amazing, but they are wonderfully cool, sweet, and tangy. Sliced peaches are layered with pound cake and a light lemon sauce in this recipe before being chilled and topped with a dollop of sweetened whipped cream. They will make you want to have dessert first!
Brownie Biscotti
A chocolate version of an Italian favorite. You can substitute milk for the water in the egg wash, if you wish.
Homemade Herb Salt
Yes, the color in this salt will fade within a few weeks, but the herby flavor and aroma will remain intact for much longer. I described this as a finishing salt, meaning it's used to season cooked food at the table; however, it can also be used in place of regular salt in any recipe preparation.
