Now that we're over the torrential rain here for a while and the sun has peeked back out from behind the dark and gloomy clouds, it's starting to warm back up here in Texas! I think it's been about a month (if not longer) since I last saw the sun like I've seen it today.

I'm so happy to be getting back into the swing of summer foods, though I know in a couple of months when it starts tipping the thermostat at 100+ degrees outside, I'll be singing an entirely different tune.

For the time being though, I'm ready for some ice cream!

Ice cream is a summer staple for just about anyone. Since my little girl is all about cake pops, I thought it might be fun to do the same thing with ice cream. Ice cream scoop pops; a small school of ice cream on a wooden spoon that's topped off with an array of sprinkles...

Skinny Vanilla Cake Pops

Who doesn't love these sweet little treats on a stick?

Seriously.

I'm pretty sure that almost everyone had their first taste of a cake pop at Starbucks. Yeah, you know the ones I'm talking about too. The pinkalicious birthday cake flavor of pure heaven on a stick... and hell on your thighs.

I've attempted to make any versions of these over the years, and I will say that they are quite easy to make, but also very time consuming. It's definitely a labor of love though; mindless work that takes just about forever to do with a phenomenal end result.

And what better to devote your labor of love to other than your adorable child, right? My little girl is absolutely stuck on cake pops, so I figured it was long since time to get another of her favorites out there...

These fun little pizzas are sure to fright and de{light} your family around Halloween. My daughter had so much fun helping me in the kitchen to make these perfectly spooky mini pizzas. Of course, as with most kids, she is a pizza aficionado... so the fact that she scarfed these pizzas down surely put a smile on my face!

But, I couldn't blame her. These little pizzas are... to die for. Muahaha!

Pun intended...

Skinny Maple Bacon Cinnamon Rolls

And so the blissful week of bacon inspired recipes continues!

These cinnamon rolls are the perfect morning treat. Reminiscent of pigs-in-a-blanket or pancakes with bacon. The house smelled absolutely wonderful while these were in the oven.

If you're not all about bacon, and I know that there are actually a few of you out there, you can definitely substitute the bacon for another ingredient such as dried fruit or nuts. Yum!...
