Summer Buttermilk Peach Biscuits

You are going to LOVE these hot, fluffy Summer Buttermilk Peach Biscuits loaded with sweet peaches and drizzled in a simple glaze. Inspired by a Southern classic, peach cobbler, these Peach Biscuits are loaded with fresh peaches we got straight from Georgia! They are perfect for breakfast or dessert!

Growing up, my grandma’s kitchen was always filled with the sweet scent of fresh peaches in the summer. While her famous peach cobbler was a beloved Sunday tradition, one day she surprised us with buttermilk peach biscuits instead. I still remember sitting at the kitchen table, biting into those flaky, buttery biscuits bursting with juicy peach pieces. It was like tasting summer and comfort all at once. Since then, these biscuits have become my way of bringing that cozy, nostalgic feeling to my family’s table, no matter the season.

Nothing says Southern comfort quite like warm, golden Buttermilk Peach Biscuits. Made with simple, classic ingredients, they blend juicy peaches, flaky butter, and tangy buttermilk for the perfect balance of sweet and savory. Plus the optional glaze adds just the right touch of sweetness to finish them off. Let’s dive in!

Ingredients for Peach Biscuits

These peach biscuits use simple ingredients to create tender biscuits that are sweet, buttery, and full of peach flavor.

  • Finely diced peaches: Adds juicy sweetness and bursts of fresh flavor.

Mom’s Easy Caramel Brownies

Mom’s Easy Caramel Brownies

My mom’s famous caramel brownies are hands-down the most requested recipe in our family. These cake mix caramel brownies are fudgy, gooey, and unbelievably easy to make. All you need is cake mix, chocolate chips, caramel, butter, and evaporated milk to create the most irresistible brownies ever!

Caramel Brownies with a Cake Mix

My mom has been making these caramel brownies for as long as I can remember. They were the birthday request of choice in our house and a must at every Fourth of July pool party. Everyone looked forward to them. They’re that good. When Cade and I got engaged, I baked a batch for his birthday and left them on his counter as a surprise. Two days passed, and he still hadn’t touched them. He was deep into clean eating and avoiding sugar. I felt crushed. I told him how much it hurt, so he tried one. Ever since, they’ve been his favorite dessert. Now, my mom even mails him a batch every so often.

The secrets? We always use margarine instead of butter. It makes the brownies extra gooey but still hold their shape. Only Betty Crocker German chocolate cake mix and Kraft caramels will do.

Now go make these brownies and leave a little love note for my mom so she feels special.

Ingredients for an easy dessert. Cake mix, buttery sweet candies, butter, chocolate chips, and cream!

Creamy sweet and tart lemon ice cream is swirled with beautiful blueberry sauce in this refreshing lemon blueberry ice cream. Made with fresh or frozen blueberries, you can enjoy this sunshiney taste of summer year ’round.

Lemon Blueberry Ice Cream

Lemon desserts are the ultimate in the summer: bright, citrusy, and tart, they are the best at capturing that warm weather essence. And blueberries, oh blueberries. Fragrant, sweet, and a little tart themselves, there is nothing that pairs with lemon quite so well as blueberries.

This recipe is made in two parts: you create the ice cream and blueberry sauce separately. You can get a jump start on the process and make the sauce up to a day ahead of time.

The most popular question I get is whether it’s possible to make ice cream without a machine. The answer is YES. You can make ice cream without a machine. Find the full directions here!

Cottage Cheese Taco Dip

Inspired by the cottage cheese dip that I shared a few weeks ago. This cottage cheese taco dip is creamy, loaded with spicy southwest flavor, and reminiscent of the old-school layered taco dip we all know and enjoy.

Cottage Cheese Dip

I suppose it’s possible not everyone has tried the creamy cottage cheese dips that are all over the internet these days, so I’ll remind you that when cottage cheese is blended smooth, it becomes the perfect protein-packed base for all kinds of recipes. In this recipe, it is mixed with cream cheese and taco seasoning to create the base of this fresh layered taco dip.

While this is a lightened-up variation on the classic, it’s still full of protein and does satisfy. My kids devoured it in minutes, and then proceeded to ask if we could make it with meat next time to make it even heartier. I think it would be excellent with a scoop or two of our beloved taco beef mix over the creamy cheese layer.

Cottage Cheese Recipes

I know, I know, cottage cheese is having a whole moment right now. It’s gotten to the point where it’s often out of stock in our local grocery stores – no joke. While I typically eat my cottage cheese in a very basic breakfast bowl with some fresh fruit, I still appreciate all the other ways this humble cheese can be enjoyed.

We’ve been making these cottage cheese eggs for almost 15 years now and my kids still call them “power eggs.” (Admittedly, it’s a little less adorable now that they aren’t toddlers showing off their Popeye muscles while they say it, it still makes me grin.)

Vanilla Cookies

Crisp-edged, crunchy cookies with an intense but perfectly balanced vanilla flavor make up these homemade vanilla cookies. These bite-size cookies go way beyond putting traditional ‘Nilla Wafers to shame, they’re a whole new ballgame.

Homemade Vanilla Wafers

I could not be more ecstatic over these vanilla wafer cookies: the crunch, the flavor, the everything. They are utterly wonderful. While I was working on the recipe for Banana Pudding Ice Cream, I became low-key obsessed with homemade vanilla wafers. (I’m happy to tell you that ice cream is fantastic with both homemade AND store-bought cookies, so feel free to go either route with that one.)

I made these cookies so many times that I lost count while working on this recipe. In the end, I am thrilled with them. So very, very happy. I never would’ve chosen a vanilla cookie as a favorite cookie before making these vanilla wafer cookies, but now? They’re a top 5 for me.

These cookies have proven completely irresistible to every single person who has tasted them, and we all wind up going back for “just one more” all day long.

I find it amusing that I adapted this recipe from a Swan’s Down recipe using their cake flour. But in the end, I preferred the vanilla wafers when I re-tested them with a slightly lowered amount of plain old all-purpose flour. If you prefer a chewier cookie, the cake flour delivers that. My goal was a crispy cookie, most similar to the original Vanilla Wafers, and the all-purpose flour delivers that.
