While the beginning of the school year tends to signal the kickoff of “fall” we’re technically only a little past the halfway point in summer (I googled it, apparently halfway was 8/5 lol). Luckily this means lots more time for summer sweet treats! Today, I’m rounding up the summer desserts I’ve enjoyed making thus far - including one of the most popular posts on The Amateur Apron, my delicious gluten free recipe for a classic ice cream treat!
Read MoreAnother summer treat! This time, I wanted to give smores bars a try with gluten free graham crackers and my favorite gluten free flour! I added a little twist to the recipe which resulted in fluffier bars than expected but we’ll get to that. Check out my recap of this recipe modification.
Read MoreI love finding a new veggie side dish that’s easy and delicious because it makes me 10 times more likely to eat more veggies!! We recently tried this Summer Squash Casserole with a minor modification and it is definitely a dish we’ll be cooking again. Check out my recap for our experience with this recipe modification.
Read MoreVacation style round up!! Since we’ve not had plans for months, I was superrr excited to plan outfits for our vacation! From beach gear and swimsuits to dinner outfits, I’ve recapped my vacation “looks” in this post for ya!
Read MoreLooking for a refreshing summer side dish? Look no further! This cranberry apple slaw is cool and tasty! I only recent tried slaws of any sort and it makes me wonder what I ever thought I wouldn’t like about them lol! I love dried cranberries in salads so this recipe caught my eye. I love the different textures in this slaw and how colorful it is!
Read MoreAhh we’re going on vacation! Not only am I excited for the beach but I’m also ECSTATIC to see human beings we know!! We are pumped to be mini-vacationing with a couple of family members and some dear friends! In order to not squish my hat in a suitcase (even though I know it is advertised as “packable”), I decided to plan my outfit around it instead!! Why not? There are no rules for vacation. I can embrace my inner grand millennial and wear a cardigan and sleeveless button down if I want to!
Read MoreDoesn’t the taste of pineapple just transport you to somewhere warmer?? Well it does for me, anyway! Growing up, my mom would bake this pineapple chicken dish every once in a while and it was a favorite for everyone in the house! Darrell is allergic to poultry so I don’t cook mom’s pineapple chicken for us but we recently started experimenting with shrimp and pineapple!
Read MoreToday I’m sharing some of my latest Amazon purchases bought in preparation for the beach! As we prepare for vacation, I’ve ordered all our necessities online (the vast majority of stores are still closed here) and Amazon has had some great finds here recently, particularly for accessories!
