Summer Berry Stack
I created this recipe after having a similar cake in the cafe of a local bookstore I worked at years ago. I never forgot how delicious the dessert was, with the tartness of berries and citrus that complemented perfectly with the sweetness of the cake, the cheesecake layer, and white chocolate, so I decided to recreate it myself. The dessert from the cafe was actually mass-produced and shipped in frozen, so this is a fresh, homemade version that tastes even better than the original, if I do say so myself (haha). This elegant cake mix cheesecake stacks tart summer berries and lemon curd against creamy lime whip.
Aileen's Punch
My sister's friend gave her this recipe years ago to use at our parents' 25th wedding anniversary party. We never had a name for it other than Aileen's Punch! This is very refreshing and so easy to put together. I recommend making an ice ring out of extra pineapple juice or apricot nectar.
Roasted Beet and Potato Soup
I adapted this roasted beet and potato soup recipe from a vegetarian soup when my twin toddlers went through a soup-only phase. They love it, and luckily, the rest of the family enjoys it too! It's a nice, hearty purée that is super-easy, especially if you roast the potatoes and beets beforehand.
