When selecting a dessert recipe for a
housewarming, choose a dish that can be eaten on the go without any utensils. Cookies and cupcakes are delicious, but empanadas keep up with the
tapas-themed menu. These tasty, small pastries are filled with berries and goat cheese.

popsicles are all the rage. While
YumSugar's been experimenting with them for weeks now, I have yet to join her on this icy adventure. The reason I haven't made popsicles is because I don't own any popsicle molds.

Although I love a decadent chocolate cake, there is no place for rich desserts at a
pool party. Guests will be in swimsuits, so serve something that's refreshing, cold, and not too sweet.
These sangria popsicles are a delicious grownup treat.

On this day in 1881, the
ice cream sundae was invented by a soda fountain operator in Two Rivers, WI. In honor of the occasion, I've found seven grown-up versions of the childhood favorite. Some are simply gourmet, while others use adults-only ingredients.
