Vanilla Bean Panna Cotta
http://confectionate.blogspot.com/2008/08/vanilla-bean-panna-cotta.htmlPanna cotta is a traditional Northern Italian dessert, which literally translates to "cooked cream." It can be flavored and garnished a bunch of different ways, but I decided to go with classic vanilla. Although vanilla bean is not necessary, it definitely enhances both the flavor and visual appeal.
My New Favorite Ice Cream...

One Cheesecake Brownie!!

Chunky Peach Popsicles

Peanut Butter Cookies
First of all, I'm going to fess up and say that the cookies came out a bit dry and lacked a great peanut butter flavor. However that is definitely because of the peanut butter I used. I opted for an organic, all-natural peanut butter that did not bring nearly enough oil/fat or flavor to the party.
