You might be a food blogger if you buy 4 pounds of cherries and suddenly, your brain goes into overdrive thinking of possible cherry desserts to bake. I almost got through the whole bag before I could decide. Plus, Naomi already made this beautiful cherry concoction, so I really had to think hard.
I decided to make y'all a fool because it's simple and delicious. A fool is cooked fruit stirred into freshly whipped cream. Easy, right? You can do this.
I should warn you that my desserts might keep having an English flair. Before I left California, I sneaked over to Napa one Sunday afternoon to enjoy a delicious brunch with the very sweet and charming and beautiful Emilia of Wine & Butter. I had such a wonderful afternoon with her and her husband Louis, that I'm thinking of doing a British stint in my kitchen for a bit. Emilia gave me her Godmother's cookbook and I've been devouring it nightly. I read it with a British accent in my head because it makes me feel like I'm as fabulous as Emilia.
You also might be a food blogger if you feel an instant connection with someone through their site and agree to drive and meet said person for brunch. But, don't concern yourself too much with the habits of food bloggers. We're a weird bunch. Just let us feed you, ok?
I'm thinking of doing another round of no-bake desserts for summertime. Any requests?
These cherry desserts are always a hit!
*This is especially delicious if allowed to chill in the freezer one hour before serving.

I love how summer desserts can be so easy but still fancy and refreshing at the same time! These look wonderful :)
Oh, and if you are taking requests...I've had a hankering for the Pioneer Woman's raspberry crisp, but it makes 8 servings--7 too many for a girl like me haha. I certainly wouldn't mind a few left overs, but 7 might be dangerous haha. Here's the link for the original: http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2010/08/raspberry-crisp/

i don't think you've done this before, but some kind of no-bake lemon bar would, well, make my entire year. well, after the having a baby part :)

Oh that looks lovely and I love the photography; a bit dark, moody, tells a story, love the wood too (and cherries!)

I have never made something like this before! Looks easy enough - I adore cherries, i think i would have eaten them all up and had to get some more to make this good looking dessert :) ha ha - I read recipe books like that too, its so nice to be a blogger - you meet so many wonderful people who are strange (ly) like you :) Thanks for sharing!

I was the same way when I bought cherries last week! 3 pounds and they were all baked and/or consumed in less than 24 hours. I'm even considering buying one of those fancy shmancy cherry pitters...then the cherry baked goods would really get out of control! I had never heard of a fool until reading this and it sounds so appealing. Very light, refreshing and sweet!

I've only 'met' Emilia through her blog but I can't wait to meet her in real life, she seems like the sweetest ever. I'm so glad you all had a fabulous get together (and I'm all for an English series on your blog!)

Being a food blogger is the best! And I would just die to meet another food blogger. So amazing!! I love no bake desserts. Is tiramisu no bake? Sadly I have never had it! I need a good recipe! :)

This looks fabulous! Yum!
