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...
of course its Ben & Jerry's!
One Cheesecake Brownie!!
It's classic cheesecake flavored ice cream with chunks of cheesecake brownie mixed in ever so perfectly!
Chunky Peach Popsicles
www.eatingwell.comMake sure to reserve a portion of the peaches as you puree the mixture so the pops will be packed with icy cold, chunky bits of fruit. For a grown-up twist, try adding 1 to 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh mint, lemon verbena or basil.

I threw together this recipe when I was craving for an apple pie but also wanted cake. The apple filling starts out on top but sinks to the bottom while it is baking. Super yummy!

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.
