When it’s really hot and humid outdoors, I just can’t go for a super rich and filling dessert. I’d much rather enjoy something light and airy… maybe something fruity! So with our backyard really coming together recently, I am looking for easy, delicious dessert recipes that I can enjoy outside when the temperature is climbing!

Here are some of my favorite recipe ideas for this Summer!
