Chocolate. And cherries.  Winner!  The Mad Mommy’s Chocolate Cherry Brownies look really fancy, but it easy to make.  I love that!

Lemon is wonderfully refreshing in desserts.  These Soft Lemon Poppyseed Cookies from I Dig Pinterest look like the perfect treat—not too sweet, not too tart…just right!

Jordan’s Onion post starts with a grateful heart, thankful to have tropical fruits available to recreate a treasured childhood memory…very sweet story!  The Tropical Fruit Yogurt Parfait would be delicious anytime of the year, but especially now for a taste of summer in January.

Treat N Trick’s Mandarin Orange Crostata is so sunny and pretty—it looks like a great way to make your family or dinner guests feel special!

This Lightened Up Banana Split Cake looks like a store-bought wonder!  But It’s Yummi explains how, by making everything simply, and from scratch, you create a lighter version of this decadent cake—genius!

In the banana dessert family, Banana Pudding reigns supreme as an unbeatable comfort food. House of Faucis gives us the super simple and quick Banana Pudding Crunch; this recipe will deliver that same “comfort” in with the unexpected salty crunch of pretzels (I love pretzels in desserts!)!
