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!

Branzino Mediterranean
Branzino, also known as European sea bass, is a delicious white fish with a mild flavor. I like to cook them whole, stuffed with lemon wedges, fresh oregano, and rosemary before roasting them for an easy dinner full of Greek flavor.
Danish Peppernut Christmas Cookies (Pebernodder)
These are deliciously tiny, somewhat time consuming to make (but totally worth it), eaten-by-the-handful Danish shortbread cookies. This recipe was given to me by a local grandmother at the annual Scandinavian Festival in Junction City, Oregon. Stored in an airtight container, they'll last close to two weeks.
Perfect Chicken Piccata
This quick chicken piccata recipe makes it easy to have this classic Italian restaurant dish at home. The pounded chicken breasts are so tender and juicy, and the buttery lemon caper sauce is so delicious, you'll want to drink it! I like to serve the chicken with pasta.
