Well summer is officially here. Which means beaches, parks, bbq's, and summer parties. If you don't want to show up empty handed, here is a dessert that is not only super easy and tasty, but people will think it took a lot more work than it actually did. And who doesn't love pie?!

Dessert Empanadas

The other day I was in one of my experimenting zones and just couldnt get empanadas out of my head. After making a variety of savory ones, which included beef and buffalo chicken, I wanted something sweet. Why not a dessert empanada?! I like to use the store bought Goya empanada discs. They are super easy to use. After making to different fillings, one of banana and chocolate, and the other with berries and cream cheese, I sealed and rolled the edges in. I then put an egg wash and sprinkled them with granulated sugar and put them in the oven. They were flaky and sweet, and sooooo just what I wanted :) Using the already made empanada discs leaves more time to concentrate on being creative with those fillings and baking them cuts a lot of fat. I hope you have as much fun with these as I did!

Not Just Cupcakes Anymore!

So I have expanded (and no I don't mean from eating all these cupcakes)! I have ventured out into custom cookies. Now some people might be intimidated by the amount of time it can take to just do even a dozen, but I found it so much fun and creative.If you are going to do designs and get artsy then I would recommend starting with a really good sugar cookie base. Cupcakes defrtyinitely take less time to do but the cookies are just as rewarding! :) There are also endless possibilities! Enjoy :)
