Jolene's Recipe Journal

P is for Peas, Peppers, Parsley and Pasta!  We’re up to the letter P in the Alphabet Challenge, and I knew right away that this Peas and Pepper Pasta Salad was the perfect pick! It’s light, colorful, and packed with fresh flavor—just the way I like to eat this time of year.

Juicy blueberries and buttery, flaky shortcakes come together for a fun twist on classic strawberry shortcake. Fresh lime adds a little zing, ginger gives it a warm kick, and a big spoonful of whipped cream makes it even better.

Have a tub of ice cream sitting in your freezer? Turn it into the fluffiest, easiest sweet bread you’ll ever bake! 

Tastes like a root beer float in cupcake form. Perfect easy summer dessert!

O is for Orzo! For the letter O in the alphabet challenge, I made Orzo with Parmesan and Basil, a cheesy, buttery side dish that comes together fast.  

  A creamy, chocolatey espresso treat packed with cookie chunks for the perfect summer scoop!

  N is for New England! For the letter N in the alphabet challenge, I made New England Iced Tea — a twist on the classic Long Island cocktail that’s tart and wicked refreshing.
