Sourdough Cobbler | We've enjoyed this tasty cobbler filled with low bush cranberries from the patch down the road, last years frozen rhubarb from the plants next to the driveway, frozen blackberries from the store for something a little different, frozen raspberries from last summer's harvest, and blueberries off the mountains lovingly picked and frozen by my mountain-climbing husband. Delicious! | GNOWFGLINS.com

Strawberry Syrup | This strawberry syrup contains no undesirables! Kiss those conventional syrups goodbye and say hello to this deep, real strawberry flavor made from in-season strawberries. We love this syrup as a topping to pancakes, ice cream, cake, or simply eaten right off the spoon. | GNOWFGLINS.com

Roasted Cinnamon Peach Probiotic Gelato | Can ice cream be a health food? Um, YES! This hybrid of creamy gelato and frozen yogurt will keep your good little tummy bugs and your summer sweet tooth happy. And my favorite thing about this recipe is the caramelized roasted peaches! | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

Watermelon on a Stick | Sometimes you just can't finish a big watermelon! So, preserve it by making "watermelon on a stick" -- watermelon popsicles. A refreshing treat during summertime heat, and these homemade popsicles are way better than the chemical-ridden conventional freezer treats. | GNOWFGLINS.com

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream | Nothing beats the heat of August like a few scoops of ice cream. We almost always have homemade ice cream in the freezer. When you take the time to make ice cream from scratch with nourishing ingredients, your reward is a healthy food. This ice cream could be eaten for breakfast without too much guilt! Plus, how to make it in a ziploc! | GNOWFGLINS.com

Classic Cherry Clafoutis | Cherry season is nearly over, but until the last fruit drops from the tree, I will be reveling in the summer sweetness only cherries can offer. I'm a sucker for creamy, silky-smooth custards in all their glorious forms and cherries are a perfect vehicle for the classic French flan that is a sultry <em>ménage à trios</em> of pancake, custard, and cake -- the clafouti. | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

Frozen Mocha Chicoccino | Made with a brew of roasted chicory root, ice, raw milk or your favorite dairy substitute, roasted cacao powder, and a bit of rapadura sugar, then topped with a spoonful of whipped cream and some cacao nibs, this cold drink makes a great summer afternoon treat! | GNOWFGLINS.com

Chai Chocolate Chip Ice Cream | While autumn is definitely imminent, summer is still going full force for at least half of the time. And believe me, there is no desire for hot drinks or baked goods on those hot days. Thankfully I came up with a solution: fall-infused iced treats! | GNOWFGLINS

Soaked Apple Cider Donuts | Apple cider is almost as iconic as colored leaves. It shouts cheerfully “Fall is here! Fall is here!” As families flock to pick apples, orchards offer the ever-popular treat: apple cider flavored donuts. The common recipe is easy to spruce up and make real food friendly at home. And of course, it's best enjoyed with a warm beverage for dunking! | GNOWFGLINS.com

Sourdough Chocolate Waffles | Is there anything better than chocolate at breakfast time? Especially when it's a fermented, sourdough, actually-good-for-you chocolate waffle? Yeah, I can't think of anything better either. | GNOWFGLINS.com
