Raspberry-lime tartlets
A couple of weeks ago, my mom gave me some limes. Actually, “some” is an understatement. A better word to more accurately describe the number of limes I received from my mother would be “crapload.” Seriously. She sent me home with 22 limes. Twenty-two! What in the world does someone do with nearly two dozen …

Nectarine raspberry turnovers
I’m training for a half-marathon again this year, so I’m supposed to be eating healthy. But I ate two of these nectarine raspberry turnovers for dinner last night, because they’re delicious and I just couldn’t help myself. I know, bad idea. But I was really hungry, and the turnovers were conveniently located right in front …

Summer fruit buttermilk cake
I tend to bake treats that are toothachingly sweet. Perhaps you’ve noticed. This one, however, isn’t. It’s a nice, simple cake that’s really not too sweet at all — perfect for playing up the fresh flavors of ripe summer fruit.

Tart frozen yogurt with berries
I like frozen yogurt. But I looooove Pinkberry. You know about Pinkberry, right? It’s that chain of frozen yogurt shops known for its tangy yogurt and celebrity clientele. It’s pretty much the reason that frozen yogurt is cool again. (Pun not intended, honest.) The Pinkberry store closest to us is in Santa Barbara, which isn’t …

Red white and blueberry four-layer cake
“Wow.” That was my brother’s text-messaged response to the phone pic I sent him of this cake, in all its berrylicious glory. It’s a pretty “wow” kind of dessert: Four layers of pound cake doused with raspberry-orange sauce, slathered with cream cheese frosting, and piled high with fresh berries. But it’s not fussy — it’s …

Fruit salsa sundaes
So I recently acquired some mangoes, thanks to my good buddies Harry and David, but I didn’t really want to eat them. Nothing against mangoes. They’re just not my favorite. I figured, though, that if I were to find a recipe that incorporated a mango, I’d probably like it just fine. Especially if that recipe …

Ganache-stuffed poached pears with raspberry mascarpone
Whenever my dad makes a really good dinner, he likes to ask “How much would you pay for this in a restaurant?” It’s not really a rhetorical question. He wants a legit answer. If legit means “no less than $30.”

Lemon ricotta pancakes with homemade lemon curd and fresh raspberries
This is my favorite breakfast yet! After I made these pancakes, I spent the rest of the day talking about how delicious they are. And thinking about how delicious they are. I actually went to bed that night thinking, “The sooner I go to bed, the sooner I’ll be able to eat more pancakes with …

Fresh berry cobbler
The other day, Joetopia sent me an e-mail making fun of a Heloise recipe we were running in the paper. It was for her No-Mix Cherry Pineapple Nut Cake, which many of her readers call “dump cake,” and it apparently grossed Joe out. I’m just guessing that from the way he included the word “gross” …
