{ Cooking Thursday }

It's been a long time, since I've last posted a Cooking Thursday.  I used to post it religiously back in the day, but that was also around the time I was cooking and trying new recipes, almost daily.

I obviously cook dinner every night, but I don't always have new recipes to try and share with you all, and I know that's not really an excuse, because I could be sharing all sorts of recipes, whether I've cooked them myself or not, but I really prefer to share those that I know for sure are good, or I think you will enjoy.

So, with that said, instead of making my Cooking Thursday a permanent feature again, or even making a commitment to doing it, I would rather say that when the opportunity arises and I have something to share, you'll see a Cooking Thursday.  I think that's better than promising and then breaking the promise.

Funny enough, today marks exactly 12 years since the very first post starting my Slow Cooking Thursday :)  

Anyway, the recipe I have to share with you today, is one I made for Memorial Day.

 

It is so easy to throw together and so delicious too.  It was loved by everyone in the family, and has earned a spot in my trusted and liked recipes list.

Hope you enjoy it too, it really is a great dessert for these hot summer days.
