Sweet and Silky Strawberry Sorbet
Sweet, soft strawberry sorbet that will rival any brand bought in the grocery store. Not being able to find the perfect recipe, I made up my own! Most homemade sorbets resemble an icy slushie, but this one is thickened before freezing, yielding a melt-in-your-mouth treat that will please even the pickiest sorbet lover! Dually great because it can be made in an ice cream freezer, or in your regular freezer.

American Girl’s Peach Cobbler
The first person I served this for didn’t like peach cobbler (unknown to me). He really enjoyed it. I just made it because it sounded yummy and I was dieting. No one will ever guess it’s ‘lighter’ than any other cobbler. I hope you like it. Oh! and it’s quick and easy.
