June 2014 Wrap-Up

June is glorious, isn’t it?

School is out and so is the sun.  Did I ever tell you how much I looooooovvve summer?!

I really had fun with some awesome recipes this month.  It seems you did, too, because almost all of this month’s recipes were popular and well-received.  If you missed any of them, I hope you’ll take this chance to catch up!

I think I would even have trouble picking a favorite this month, myself.  I loved it all.

Although…  the Frozen Hot Chocolate has been particularly popular, and since I taught the kids to make it, every bit of cocoa mix in my house has disappeared.  I’m going to feel silly buying cocoa mix in the middle of summer!

Check these out, and let me know which is your favorite!

	Butterscotch Blondies The PERFECT blondie recipe, and my new personal go-to, this one comes with butterscotch chips.
	Chocolate Dipped Cheesecake Bites Cheesecake is delicious all by its fabulous self, but dip it in chocolate, and you really have my attention!
	Orange Blueberry Whoopie Pies These cookies are so summery, with fresh orange and fresh blueberries!  Sometimes fruit cookies are the way to go.
	Frozen Hot Chocolate Don’t forget the whipped cream for this yummy frozen treat!  Tastes just like cocoa, only COLD!
	Peanut Butter Snickers Ice Cream Pops For those on-the-go days, these ice cream pops with Snickers are sure to make the entire family happy!
	Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Dip I just can’t get enough of chocolate chips!  This dip is great with small cookies or graham crackers.  Or nothing at all!
	Caramel Stuffed Chocolate Chunk Cookies One of my favorite chocolate chip recipes ever!  These extra large cookies are stuffed with Rolo candies!
	100 Chocolate Chip Cookies The definitive collection!  I’ve gathered 100 fantastic recipes for chocolate chip cookies in one place.  You’ll love this!
	Raspberry Meringues This is such a light and summery dessert.  Fresh lemon and raspberry makes this dessert really delicious.

In other news, I broke one of my cardinal rules this month, and put raisins in cookies.  That’s right.  Raisins.  I contributed these Oatmeal Raisin Cookies to My Cooking Spot this month.  If you disagree with me about raisins, you might want to check this one out.
